Animal Ambassadors

Animal Ambassadors of the HNC Educational Program

Teddy Bear, the Ball Python

Hey, my name is Teddy Bear. I am a 11 month old Superfly male ball python. If your interested in free hugs, snuggles or just watching TV; then I'm the perfect snake to teach you all about my kind. I love to sit and snuggle or help my mom with house work. I am super chill, super sweet, and love doing educational programs.

Jackie, the Fire-Bellied Toad

Animal Ambassador? I would rather be eating insects or swimming in my pond..... But sure. I was a rescue and lived for years in a tiny container with no enrichment or a real pond to swim in. My mom made me a huge palidarium... With a waterfall, a pond, areas to climb and plenty of snacks to hunt for. I don't mind doing educational programs, but I am a look, don't touch embassador.

Isopods, the Clean-up Crew

Hey, we are isopods. Sometimes we get called rolly pollies, or pill bugs. We are actually a crustacean. We love coming to educational programs and teaching about forest decomposers and bioactive enclosures for your pet reptiles and amphibians. We come in many colors.

Hershey and Snickers, Kenyan Sand Boa's

Hi, we are Kenyan Sand Boa's who looooove to dig. We spend 80% of our lives buried. We even try to dig in carpet. We are cute, derpy and are more like worms than snakes.

Luna, the Ball Python (Ambassador in Training)

My name is Luna. I am a female Mojave, pastel, pinstripe, spider ball python. I am 8 years old and spent most of my life in a rack system as a breeder; till my mom got me and set me up in a huge bioactive enclosure. I am retired from breeding because of my spider genetics. I do have slight neurological issues and have a head wobble. I may be different, but I have so much I can teach. I love taking baths and getting my back scratched.

Cookie, the Crested Gecko (Ambassador in Training)

Hi, my name is Cookie. I am a charcoal based, pinstripe harlequin crested gecko. I am still a juvenile and love to jump and climb. I like to eat my food off of a tiny spoon.
