Jungle Encounters was started back in 2012 by Ryan Stocks who holds a great passion for animals and the art of entertaining! These go hand in hand when it comes to what we do and the services we provide.

We bring the zoo to you with our mobile visits, perfect for kids parties, schools or care home visits, town fairs, scouts and guides, and even weddings. It’s a unique and exciting way to have a range of exotic animals at your special event!

We are incredibly passionate about our animals and their welfare. Our extensive knowledge and experience in the animal industry allows us to provide top-notch care and support whilst also providing those who interact with them a fun and safe experience.

Leopard Gecko

Hermann Tortoise

Brazillian White Knee

Taratunla

The Leopard Gecko is larger than most other Geckos. Those in the wild appear dull and dark compared to the ones in captivity that show an assortment of colours and patterns.

A Hermann Tortoise is the most common of

the species to be kept as a pet as they’re fascinating and fun-loving.

This particular Tarantula species can reach up to a whopping 8 inch leg span! The females can live up to 20 years however the males tend to live up to 4 on average.

Giant Millipedes

Carpet Python

Madagasscan Hissing Cockroaches

Although the name “Millipede” means “thousand-feet” these creatures usually have 300-400 legs on average. They also use their antenna's to navigate their environment as they do not have eyes.

These snakes are named after their beautiful markings which can resemble a oriental carpet pattern. They are very independent from the minute they hatch and can last up to 30 years in captivity!

White Faced Owl

When these owls feel threatened they can create an illusion of appearing much larger than they actually are by creating a semi circe with their wings around their body.

These little things are all hiss and no sting however they are still the largest cockraoches in the world! They live up between 2-5 years and can gow up to 4 inches.

Corn Snake

Harris Hawk

When it comes to having a pet snake, these are the most common to have. They don’t mind being handled and are relatively calm however they can live up to 23 years so they are a commitment!

These are the most popular hawks seen in the falconry industry due to their friendly and sociable characters. The female hawks grow much larger than the males!

Can we take photos?

Do you take on volunteers?

Absolutely, if anything we encourage it!

We have our social media pages that you can tag us in too and leave reviews.

Yes, we accept volunteers without prejudice and invite them to a trial day on one of our events. During a trial day we teach how to handle the different animals correctly, health and safety and we discuss what is involved and invite many questions (from both the volunteer and the one doing the training). If the volunteer is successful after the trial day, we invite them to continue volunteering, with the aim to develop their knowledge and understanding of the animals.

What requirements are there for running a business like yours?

We have public liability and employer's liability insurance (which covers both members of the public and all the team members including volunteers) so our events are always safe for us and the public. We have risk assessments for all the various activities we undertake. We have suitable accommodation for all the animals and professional procedures for all the work undertaken and husbandry involved with the care of the livestock. We also require our animal activities licence, of which our code is displays on our home page.
