Jimmy of Animal Planet's Gator Boys introduces his by appointment only wildlife park and traveling Reptile roadshow.
Private Wildlife Park
Travel Road Show:
Critter Keeper Road Show
The show consists of a fully interactive reptile show where we pick one kid per show, who is dressed up in our Zoo Crew attire and they get to have hands on with some of the reptiles. At the end of the show we pick a group of kids to help hold a replica snake skin measuring over 30′ to end each show.
Travel Road Show:
Alligator Wrestling
See what put us on the map. We offer the same type of alligator capture techniques used by Jimmy on “Gator Boys”.
The Crew
Jimmy Riffle
Owner / Operator
Jimmy started his career volunteering/working with animals at The Native Village in Hollywood, FL.
From the age of 11, he was trained by Mike “Skeet” Johns to respect and appreciate all wildlife.
Jimmy later went on to star in Animal Planet’s hit tv show “Gator Boys”. Scales Tails and Teeth was started by Jimmy in the hopes that he could share his love an appreciation of wildlife to people (children and adults) all over the country.
Jimmy still travels and educates the public, but he was able to fulfill a lifelong dream to open a small scale educational animal park in Marion County, Florida.
