"My students thought Steve was INCREDIBLE! Not only was he exciting and fun but my kids learned about the animals. I found out from the parents that my students went home and did nothing but talk about this for days! I've been asked about 100 times when he's coming back. The students begged me to write him thank you notes."

""Serengeti Steve" does not "show" the reptiles he "performs" with them. He had a snake crawling out of his hat at one point, a scorpion crawling across his face at another, and always being everything from funny to thrilling. I'll recommend to anyone. "
