All programs are covered by our Gen. Liability Insurance which INCLUDES animal-contact coverage and NH State-mandated Worker's Comp Insurance.CAUTION: Smaller outfits and private individuals that offer low-cost "reptile shows" may say they carry insurance...but in almost all cases their policy has an "animal-contact exclusion" that voids the policy if anybody touches the animals except the presenter or their legal employees. Hiring a professional service like ours is worth the peace-of-mind! Our presence as the premier school presenter in the region lets you know our message and group management is top-notch, and since WE are a not-for-profit entity, you can feel confident that you are being treated fairly and supporting a worthy group!
