SCHOOL PRESENTATIONS
Watch Dean, James and Maureen as they take you on a reptile adventure through the African desert to the South American rainforest. Everyone of these shows is highly educational, very entertaining and jam packed with reptiles from all over the world.
Wrappin About Reptiles is a hands-on educational organization that informs the public in a very entertaining atmosphere about reptiles and their benefits to nature. In our travels we have visited thousands of children and adults alike across British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan with an overwhelming response. We talk about the benefits of reptiles, their loss of habitat, and endangered species, some of which we bring to the shows. Most importantly, we discuss the conservation of not only reptiles but of all wildlife.
Wrappin About Reptiles got it's start back
in 1995 when we were known simply as "The
Reptile Guys".
Dean Harper started his company with a small
but diverse family of reptiles and amphibians
and a mission to educate the public on these
misunderstood creatures and the myths that
follow them. His collection of reptiles has
now grown to well over 150 reptiles in addition
to other exotics.
James Barbas joined shortly after Dean got started , and along with his vast knowledge and his growing collection or reptiles we now have well over 200 reptiles to choose from.
We are always adding more to our family and one day hope to have one of the biggest collections in North America.

Some of our educational Tools
Aside from the live reptiles in our shows we also have many items on loan to us from Environment Canada. These are items that have been smuggled into Canada on purpose or by unsuspecting travelers. We are one of the few non-government companies to have the privilege to display and talk about these items.
