Cool Critters: Steve Harding

Steve Harding: Steve is an experienced animal handler and enthusiast who loves reptiles, amphibians and arthropods. He is an engaging animal educator who brings his traveling animal show to over 300 appearances each year. Steve is a licensed animal exhibitor and Authorized Vendor for California PTA and local PTAs and school districts.

Description of programs: For large assembly presentations (100 or more children) we typically focus on reptiles and amphibians.

The collection we typically bring includes 16 or more animals:
• Six small-to-medium sized snakes and one very large Burmese python
• Five medium-to-large lizards and one very large monitor species
• One large Sulcata tortoise or a smaller California desert tortoise
• Two or more amphibians (frogs and salamanders)

These celebrities are very gentle and, group size permitting, the students may be given an opportunity to pet and/or hold some of these animals. One thing that makes our shows unique is that we like to get close to the students with the animals. We prefer to walk down aisles among the audience as we talk, giving each student the opportunity to see these wonderful creatures close up. We take questions and encourage participation by asking questions of the audience. We characterize our presentation as a ‘talk’ and NOT a ‘lecture.’

Grades: K-8
