Shadow's Sanctuary
Ever since I was a little kid, I've always loved all types of animals. I was obsessed, especially with dinosaurs, and that's probably why my obsession started with reptiles. When I was just around three years old, my grandfather gave me among plenty of other animals, Tank the now famous sulcata tortoise. My grandpa had a big five-acre farm with lots of different types of farm animals and my very own reptile room! I was living my dream but unfortunately in 2009 when I was 9 years old we lost the farm and all the animals with it. I was lucky enough to keep Tank.
At 16 years old I decided to get him a girlfriend named Luna. They had babies in the summer of 2018 and I started Shadow’s Reptiles! I created social media accounts and gained over a million followers from 2019-2020. With all the attention I started rescuing all types of animals people called in to rehome. I quickly got overwhelmed by social media and went into the shadows, pun intended, took a long break from social media, and focused on rescuing animals full time.
Wow wow what an amazing experience! We had Shadows Exotic Petting Zoo at our house for my sons 8th birthday and it was such a hit! There were snakes, tortoise, bearded dragons and other reptiles for the kids to pet and hold. My son wants a snake for his birthday so it was a great way for us to see if he really could handle the pet. The team was so great with the kids and really showed them a great time! I highly recommend them!!

Kids and adults had so much fun, totally recommended!
Katherine Hazard
Phenomenal show!!!!!! He was so patient, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. Every single detail was top notch and his communication was on point! The animals were absolutely adorable and well cared for. The children were giggling with delight, the parents were laughing, and my heart was full. He definitely took the pressure off of hosting an amazing party. The best choice we made was to hire Shadow’s Animal Show.

We recently had the pleasure of booking Shadow Reptiles for a party, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience! Anthony was absolutely incredible. His knowledge of animals was so impressive, and he really made an effort to engage with the kids, keeping them interactive and excited throughout the show. His patience with the children was truly remarkable—they were so captivated by every word he said.
We’ve been to many different reptile shows at various parties, but this one was by far the best! Anthony was not only professional and kind, but also prompt and incredibly accommodating. He’s truly the only reptile expert you would want at your event. Highly recommend Shadow Reptiles for anyone looking to add something unique and educational to their party!

The show was very good and my grandson had a great experience with all of the animals.

I had been researching and debating the idea of getting a sulcata hatchling for some time, and when I called Shadow's Reptiles, I was expecting to have to leave a voicemail and instead I was able to drive down and meet with him the same day. He was very responsive and helpful, forwarding plenty of information for caring for my new baby. Though there's no physical storefront, I didn't have to wait once I arrived to meet him. I was able to pick out which hatchling I wanted to bring home out of the selection he brought, as well as bags of the Mazuri diet and a food dish, along with a container to bring the tortoise home in. 100% was absolutely worth the 3 hour drive-- even though the flea market and pet store near me have sulcata hatchlings for sale, I feel so much better having purchased from a reputable breeder, and knowing exactly where this little dude came from, and that the care of this baby and its parents has been up to standard, that they're treated well and not just bred out for the money.

We just recieved our yearling cherry head from Shadows Reptiles! She/he looks healthy, and has already pooped and eaten for us. Shadow's Reptiles did and excellent job at answering all of our questions! My only complaint is that I wished she had been shipped in a hard container inside of the box instead of a bag in the box, however she was well padded! I highly recommend Shadow's Reptiles to anyone looking for a redfoot.

Shadow is awesome! We hired him to do a show at our sons 7th birthday party and it was such a hit! We had a group of about 25 kids and let me tell you, Anthony was sooo kind and patient with them. He also spoke to the kids about each animal and respected their boundaries when some only wanted to touch an animal versus holding one. He made sure everyone got turns to hold the animals and take photos and really make it a special experience for them all! The kids left with a super unique and memorable experience and some awesome pictures! Don’t hesitate to book him. It was money very well spent!

Anthony was super helpful when my daughter bought her tortoise. We had been scammed back in july 2021 and lost 200 dollars. I was very skeptical but he put me to ease. We live in Nh and it has been awfully cold so Anthony held on to our little guy until it was safe to send him. 1000 percent would recomend
Korie Gagnon

What an AWESOME experience!!!
My son decided at the very last minute that he wanted a reptile show to celebrate his 7th birthday and I didn’t know what to do. Needless to say Shadow Reptiles made his surprise so memorable. Anthony was very passionate, knowledgeable and patient with the group of kids. Everyone truly enjoyed themselves, especially the birthday boy who never left Anthony’s side 😁. Hiring Shadow Reptile was the best decision and an amazing addition to the party..
Rochelle McClain
Wow this show went beyond expectations. The kids loved petting and being able to handle the animals (and so did the adults)! Definitely 5 stars and super recommend for your next party.

Cynthia Ruiz
My 4yo is in love with dinosaurs so for his birthday i wanted to surprise him with a reptile encounter I searched a bunch of places and couldn't help but feel like I was getting ripped off for what they wanted to charge me. Then I found Shadow reptiles (Anthony) he is located in Miami but was willing to come to wpb and thank God because he was a blessing. He is so good with the kids he explains all the reptiles in detail and really takes his time to make sure everyone was happy. My son had the best birthday party because of his experience. You will not regret having shadow reptiles at your next event. People were calling me the next day to brag how amazing the whole experience was, and I'm so grateful to Anthony at shadow reptiles for making my babies birthday one he will never forget! Even my oldest son, who is 14, and daughter 12 and their friends enjoyed it. Truly AMAZING!!!

We celebrated our sons 9th birthday party that ranged from ages 3-9. Everyone I mean everyone was so intrigued with the verity of exotic animals. Anthony was very energetic, knowledgeable, fun, and engaging. He was so kind to answer everyone questions and was always cautious with the kids and the animals assuring everyone was having a good time. It was so worth the experience and I would truly recommend this experience for birthday parties.

Anthony from Shadows Reptiles is literally the best. For my sons 7th birthday he wanted reptiles galore and that’s exactly what Anthony and his team provided. From the initial inquiry phone call to showing up and proving excellent service was unmatched. My son and his friends had the BEST time seeing, holding, and feeding all of the reptiles and animals he brought to the party! We will definitely be using him again in future! We can definitely tell Anthony loves all his animals and is so knowledgeable on each and everyone of them! Thanks again Anthony Shadow Reptiles for a superb experience!
Brandee Ward

I just bought a baby tortoise from Anthony and we are very happy with the little guy. He’s healthy and happy, and he arrived all the way to Texas, quickly. Beautiful baby! Anthony is very knowledgeable and has answered all my questions since I placed my order. And he’s a fast responder too 😀 He’s been more than helpful and his YouTube videos are the best! He has videos for everything! It’s easy to see he cares for his animals and ensures they are well taken care of, even after they leave his possession. SUPER nice guy and he has made this entire process very easy. Thank you, Anthony! If you are in the market for a tortoise, or anything else he offers, look no further! He’s your guy 👍🏼 🙂🙂 One more thing- I shopped around while looking for a tortoise and he also had the best prices, overall. Very happy with my purchase! Thank you, Anthony. I appreciate you very much.

We recently had Anthony from Shadow’s Exotic Mobile Petting Zoo and Animal Shows perform at our 5-year-old’s birthday party, and he was fantastic! The kids loved him! Anthony is incredibly communicative and managed both the kids and reptiles with ease. Everyone at the party was thoroughly impressed. All the animals were friendly and appeared very healthy. We highly recommend this service for any event—it’s a unique and delightful experience! Thank you Anthony!

I am a teacher for students with disabilities, working for a kindergarten-aged treatment summer program. On Fridays, our students have extra fun with special activities booked. This Friday we had Shadow’s Exotic Mobile Petting Zoo and Animal Show. If you are looking to book a petting zoo/animal show for kids at school or camp, look no further! Anthony was very informative, patient with the kids, and he allowed us all to pet most of the animals.
The reptiles and rodents were all very cool, and some were uncommon! Both kids and adults loved them! I personally had never seen a prairie dog or a monitor lizard until this show. Anthony walked around to let each kid see the animals up close and let us know which ones were to be pet or not. He was patient with kids who were scared or ones who weren’t the most gentle. He also presented for a full hour! It was very much appreciated by the staff and the kids to have this experience, and we had lots of fun!

I’m so happy my husband and I went with Shadow’s Reptiles! After looking at several other breeders and doing tons of research, we decided to drive to Miami to pick up our Sulcata baby and he made it super easy! We got to pick out which hatchling we wanted and we bought a bag of food to take home. He also sent us a playlist of videos with tips on how to raise/take care of him. His price is awesome, especially since they go for around $150 in the stores. I love that we know exactly where our baby came from too! Our baby is alert, active, and super friendly. We definitely recommend!
