Our Animals

Here is a showcase of our animals ready to visit you!

Tony the Tegu

Tony is our black and white Argentine tegu. He is about 4 feet long! Despite his scary appearance, Tony is a sweetheart and his favorite activities are relaxing in the bath and cuddling. 

Kiwi & Cinnabon the Ball Pythons

These two love spending time with each other. They get their name from the fact that they love to ball up to feel safe.

Bumi the Western Hognose

Bumi is our smallest snake, He is only about 14 inches long and as wide as a finger. Bumi has an up-turned nose, giving him the title hognose, that is used for burrowing in the dirt.

Asher, Bandit, and Slinky, the Ferrets

Ferrets play hard and nap hard. They spend up to 3/4 of their day asleep, giving them lots of energy while they are awake.

Truck the Bearded Dragon

Only a juvenile now, Truck will be about 2 feet long when he is full-grown! Truck is unique among other bearded dragons for his bright orange coloring.

Ice Cream, Chomper, and Chocolate Chip, the Rabbits

Unlike cats, dogs, and ferrets, rabbits are prey animals. They have nearly 360° vision, which they use to spot predators.

Yoshi the Crested Gecko

Crested geckos are from New Caledonia. They are great climbers and the only geckos with a prehensile tail. That means he can use his tail to climb.

Geico the Leopard Gecko

At 15 years old, Geico is the oldest Wild Dayton animal. She has a fat tail, which she uses to store nutrients.

The Chickens

Our flock of chickens is protected by our rooster, Mortimer. The hens are friendly and are used to being picked up and held. They will even eat right out of your hand!

We have a colony of Halloween hissing roaches. These large bugs are from Madagascar. They make a loud hissing sound when you touch them.

The Ducks

Our ducks are called Muscovies. Unlike other ducks, instead of quacking, they hiss. You can recognize the males by the red growths on their face called caruncles.

Pacha the Tarantula

Pacha is a Mexican redknee tarantula. Even though they look scary, they are safe to be held. Their venom is not dangerous to humans.

Midnight the Scorpion

Midnight is an Asian forest scorpion. Just like tarantulas, their venom is not a threat to humans. The bigger the scorpion- the less dangerous they are.

Freddie the Turtle

Freddie is a red-eared slider, named for the red markings on his face. They cannot come out of their shell because it is attached to their skeleton!

The Goats

We have 3 pygmy goats: Stevie, Shaggy, and Maeve. They often get into trouble by fighting each other and jumping fences. They only come on Mobile Petting Zoo encounters.

Shelby the Tortoise

Shelby is a Sulcata Tortoise from Africa. Right now she can fit in your hand, but when she grows up, she may weigh over 200 lbs! She can live up to 100 years!

Slip & Slide the Turtles

Slip & Slide are baby yellow-bellied sliders. Right now they are super cute and only a couple inches long.

Meadow the Dog

Meadow is a Great Pyranese. She is the protector of the farm and keeps all the other animals safe. Meadow is too busy watching over the farm to do encounters.

Winston is a curly hair tarantula. Still a baby, he is only an inch long. He will get much bigger!

Snapping turtles get their name from their powerful jaws. They are strong enough to bite through bone!
