Reptile show at H&P site to be educational and thrilling fun

Hutcheon & Pearce will be providing a unique blend of thrilling entertainment with an important safety message for the entire family with a live reptile show. 

The segment promises to be a highlight for families, especially children, offering them a chance to get up close and personal with various native reptiles.

Andrew Melrose, a renowned expert with over 40 years of experience with reptiles, will be showcasing his extensive knowledge and collection of native reptiles at the 2024 Henty Field Days. 

Andrew's professional background includes over 25 years of working as a licensed snake catcher, reptile relocator, and educational demonstrator. His expertise ensures the reptile show will not only be fascinating but also safe and educational for all attendees.

The reptile show aims to teach children the importance of safety around reptiles, a crucial lesson for those living on farms or in rural areas. Andrew Melrose's presentations are designed to be both fun and informative, providing correct facts and education about reptiles. 

The show will cover what to do and what not to do around reptiles, along with first aid education for venomous snake encounters. Parents can rest assured that the show will be conducted in a safe, controlled environment, ensuring the well-being of all participants.

Children will have the opportunity to handle and touch a variety of non-venomous reptiles, including pythons, lizards and turtles. The structure of the show includes interesting and educational information about each species, making it an engaging learning experience. 

For those who prefer a less hands-on approach, a static display will be available where people can observe and learn about the reptiles, excluding the venomous snakes.

One of the key objectives of the reptile show is to highlight the positive aspects of reptiles, which often have a poor image due to misinformation. Andrew Melrose aims to promote respect and understanding of reptiles and their importance in the environment. The show will provide many photo opportunities, so don’t forget to bring your camera to capture the memorable moments.

Having performed at many agricultural shows across NSW, Andrew Melrose's reptile shows have proven to be very popular with people of all ages. His engaging style and wealth of knowledge ensure that every show is both educational and entertaining.

Hutcheon & Pearce invite all attendees of the Henty Field Day to join them for this unique reptile show. It’s a perfect opportunity for families to enjoy a fun day out while learning important safety tips and gaining a deeper appreciation for native reptiles.
