🐾💚 Happy World Veterinary Appreciation Day! 💚🐾

Today we’d like to say a huge THANK YOU to the incredible veterinary professionals who help keep our animal family healthy, happy and thriving.

A very special thank you to William Lewis, who has been our trusted vet for almost 20 years. Although he’s currently in Hong Kong, he’s still only ever a phone call away, and his knowledge, dedication and support over the years have been absolutely invaluable. We couldn’t be more grateful for everything you’ve done for our animals, William.

We’re also incredibly thankful to Ian Wooding and the fantastic team at Woodings Family Veterinary Practice for the outstanding care they provide to our animals every single day.

A huge thank you to Emma, Casey, Dianne, Paige and Charlotte—your kindness, professionalism and genuine love for animals never go unnoticed.

It truly takes a dedicated team to care for such a diverse collection of animals, and we are so fortunate to have the very best people supporting us.

From everyone at Exotic Explorers, thank you for your compassion, expertise and unwavering commitment to animal welfare. We appreciate you today and every day! 🐍🦜🦔🦎🐢❤️

🎉 Happy Birthday, Nathan! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating Nathan – Ben’s right-hand man and an integral part of the Exotic Explorers family. His hard work, dedication, and passion shine through in everything he does, and we honestly couldn’t imagine the team without him.

Nathan is incredible with all of our animal ambassadors, always ensuring they receive the very best care and helping to create unforgettable experiences for everyone who meets them. Many of you will have met Nathan at our events and seen firsthand the enthusiasm, knowledge, and kindness he brings to every encounter.

Please join us in wishing Nathan a very Happy Birthday! 🥳🎂 We hope you have a fantastic day filled with celebration, laughter, and maybe a few extra cuddles from your favourite animals! 🦎🦉🐍🐾

Thank you for everything you do, Nathan – here’s to another amazing year ahead! 💚

What a fantastic day we had with the Macquarie Investment Banking Group at their incredible jungle-themed corporate fun day! 🌿🐍🦎🐸

Our rainforest ambassadors loved meeting everyone and helping guests get up close with some amazing animals while learning all about the important role these species play in our world. From curious questions to brave encounters, it was wonderful to see so many people connecting with wildlife in such a memorable way.

We were also delighted to be working alongside the amazing team at Sharky & George Events, who helped bring the whole experience to life with their energy, creativity and flawless organisation. What a team! 🎉🌴

A huge thank you to everyone involved for inviting Exotic Explorers to be part of such a brilliantly organised event. We had an absolute blast and can’t wait for the next adventure! 🐾✨

We had a lovely time celebrating the 2nd birthday of Woodings Family Veterinary Practice today! 🎉🐾

🦉🎉 Happy 8th Hatchday, Neve! 🎉🦉

Today we’re celebrating our amazing girl, Neve, as she turns 8 years old!

As a typical snowy owl, Neve has a very strong personality and always makes her opinions known. She absolutely adores Ben — he is, without question, Daddy in her eyes — and she shares the sweetest, cuddliest moments with Julie too. Of course, Neve decides for herself who earns her affection, and some members of the team know all too well that winning her approval isn’t guaranteed!

Neve much prefers working with adults and has never been particularly impressed by children, but with the people she trusts and loves, she shows just how gentle and affectionate she can be. Behind those piercing eyes and regal snowy owl attitude is a truly special girl who has captured so many hearts.

Thank you, Neve, for eight wonderful years of sass, snuggles, side-eye, and unforgettable moments. We wouldn’t have you any other way.

Here’s to plenty of favourite treats, lots of fuss from your chosen humans, and another year of being the magnificent queen that you are.

Happy Hatchday, Neve! 🤍❄️🦉✨

🦉🎉 Happy First Hatch Day, Gideon! 🎉🦉

Today we’re celebrating the first hatch day of our incredible white-faced owl, Gideon!

Some animals seem to take everything life throws at them completely in their stride, and Gideon is definitely one of those special individuals. From the very beginning, he’s approached the world with confidence, curiosity, and a calm assurance that makes him a joy to work with.

Always inquisitive and eager to explore new experiences, Gideon has developed into a fantastic ambassador for his species. And, for an owl, he’s remarkably intelligent too! Whether he’s meeting new people, investigating his surroundings, or showing off his unique personality, Gideon never fails to impress.

We’re incredibly proud of the owl he’s become and can’t wait to see what adventures his second year brings.

Please join us in wishing Gideon a very happy first hatch day! 🦉❤️🎂

💚 We absolutely loved this visit and were so grateful to receive this wonderful feedback afterwards! 💚

We were asked if we could tailor our animal encounter to support a Brownie Folklore, Myths & Legends badge — something we’d never been asked to do before! We jumped at the chance, spending time researching fascinating stories, legendary creatures, and folklore from around the world, then linking them to our amazing animals to create a truly unique experience.

It was so much fun delivering the session and seeing the girls engage with both the myths and the real-life animals that may have inspired them. We especially enjoyed answering all their fantastic questions and helping everyone feel comfortable meeting the animals at their own pace.

Here’s what their leaders had to say:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Ben and Nathan came to our Brownie Unit with lots of fabulous, well cared-for animals and we had the best evening… They went above and beyond and I have already recommended them to other units!”

Thank you for trusting us with such a special badge evening and for your incredibly kind words. Creating bespoke sessions like this is one of our favourite parts of what we do, and we love finding new ways to connect wildlife, education, and adventure.

🐍 Annabelle’s New Outfit! 🐍

Ever wondered why snakes shed their skin?

The process is called ecdysis, and it’s a completely natural part of a snake’s life. Unlike us, snakes can’t grow by stretching their skin, so as they get bigger, they periodically shed their old skin and reveal a fresh new layer underneath!

In an ideal shed, the skin comes off in one complete piece – just like taking off a sock. A clean, complete shed is often a good indicator that a snake is healthy and well hydrated.

💧 How do snakes get a perfect shed?
✔️ Access to fresh drinking water
✔️ Correct humidity levels for their species
✔️ Appropriate temperatures for proper metabolism
✔️ Rough surfaces and enrichment to help rub away the old skin
✔️ Good overall health and nutrition

Before shedding, snakes may look dull or faded, and their eyes can turn a cloudy blue colour. This is completely normal and is a sign that the old skin is beginning to separate from the new skin underneath.

In this video, our beautiful Burmese python, Annabelle, is showing off the amazing process of ecdysis. Watching a snake shed is a fantastic reminder of one of nature’s most incredible adaptations!

🦉🎉 Happy 4th Hatchday, Digger! 🎉🦉

Today we’re celebrating our amazing Burrowing Owl, Digger, as he turns 4 years old! 💛

From his curious personality to his adorable antics, Digger has captured the hearts of everyone he meets. Whether he’s showing off his owl charm during programs or keeping us entertained behind the scenes, he never fails to make us smile.

We absolutely love our little dude and feel so lucky to have him as part of the Exotic Explorers family. Thank you, Digger, for helping us inspire people to learn about and appreciate wildlife every single day.

Join us in wishing this handsome owl a very happy hatchday! 🎂🦉🎁
