Hi Everyone!

So it has been a while since we’ve shared some Reptile Zoo News, and now is as good a time as any, because we’ve got lots of great offers and exciting things happening around here right now!

FREE TEA/COFFEE FOR EVERYONE IN JANUARY

Yep that’s right, beat those January blues with a visit to the Reptile Zoo and receive a free cup of tea or coffee with every adult admission! We know its miserable out there and if it’s not frosty it seems the wind is wrecking the place so why not visit us? Don’t forget we are a fully indoor Zoo so no matter what the weather is like, we’re always open AND lets be honest, who doesn’t like something for FREE

Ps, We also have FREE wifi!

SENIOR CITIZENS/OAPS SPECIAL OFFER

Attention all OAP’s/ Senior Citizens we have a great new offer just for you because we know that its not just little kids that love to visit our Zoo but you do too!

Every Wednesday throughout January and February we are offering OAP’s a special discounted admission of just €6 each!

So why not visit us on a Wednesday for just €6 and still receive your FREE tea or coffee, we also have copies of the Kilkenny Reporter newspaper for you to read and take home!

OUR TEAM IS GROWING!

As you may have seen on our blog over the past month or so, we have been on the lookout for someone new to join our ever expanding team!

We had tonnes of applications and this week we whittled them down to about 20 people or so, and our interview process has begun! We will be contacting our chosen candidate on Monday afternoon and as soon as they are settled in, they will do a guest blog post to tell you all how they are getting on!

AMBASSADOR PROGRAMME!

The Reptile Village Team love partnering up with the young people of Ireland for projects and fund raising initiatives and this year will see the launch of our very own Zoo Ambassador Programme!

I can’t give away too much about it as we’re not quite ready to launch it just yet, but what I can say is if you think you can raise money for conservation, become a vital member of our team and would love the chance to go on a herpetology expedition in a tropical jungle somewhere, then keep your eyes peeled, more info coming soon!

COMMUNIONS AND CONFIRMATIONS

This year we are fortunate enough to once again be very busy for the Communion and Confirmation season, BUT that’s exactly why we’re mentioning it here!

We don’t want you to miss out and we are booking up very quickly so if you are thinking of having the Reptile Zoo team visit your home or venue for your child’s big day, please get in touch ASAP as we don’t want to disappoint!

VALENTINES DAY COUPLES OFFER

Okay lads now don’t panic, V-Day is still a few weeks away (February 14th for those of you that may be unsure) but we are offering couples a special TWO FOR ONE ADMISSION OFFER on February 14th, 15th and 16th so why not have a date with a difference?

Valentines Day will mark the second wedding anniversary of our Yellow Foot Tortoise Michelle and Michael and we are happy to report that they are still as madly in love as ever!

That’s all for now folks, but be sure to check out our next blog post in the coming weeks and as always if you have any questions or would like to make a booking please let contact us on info @ reptilevillage.net or by phone on 056 77 26757!

The past ten days have been so busy for all of the staff in Reptile Village and this blog post is about to get you up to speed, so below you will find 5 Reptile Village News stories:

1) We are sad to be officially closing down our group page on Facebook after more than 3 years in action, this week (January 31st at 6pm). However we are excited that all of our Facebook friends will be together on one page, the much busier ‘like page’ and this is the main reason for the closure of the original group.

(Link below is to our ‘Like Page’)

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Reptile-Village/156500504404384

We want to make sure that our messages reach everyone, so you can all get our updates, pictures, take part in competitions and know exactly where our ‘Zoo to You’ team are travelling to..which brings me nicely to my next news piece!

2) Our ‘Zoo to You’ teams are set for a busy 2013 as bookings have come flooding in (enjoy that pun for the miserable rainy day that we’re having)! Bookings are filling up fast for events such as Communions, Confirmations, Birthday Parties and Family Fun Days/Festivals!

If you are interested get in contact asap so you won’t be disappointed!

PS, watch this space…we may also have some huge news on the pop up zoo our ‘Zoo to You’ team travel with very soon..but ssssssh!

James, Bosc Monitor, Family, Raheny Family Fun Day

3) This weekend we welcomed our first EVER official members and we are so excited! We began offering annual membership to our visitors waaaaaay back in September 2012, right around the time when things get quiet in here. So you can imagine our excitement at having the first family annual membership spot filled this weekend!

Its only €120 for 2 adults and 3 children and allows you up to 12 visits per year..which is a huge saving of over €200!!!

4) It is intern mania this year too! Lately we have gotten more applications for volunteer work, TY work placement, and third level internships than ever before! We are so grateful for all the extra help and wanted to take this opportunity to remind you that if you are over 18 you are eligible to volunteer here or carry out work placement for college! If you are 16+ you can take part in our TY work experience programmes too!

Melanie and Tarantula September 2012

These programmes are a great way to gain some experience working with animals and working in the tourism sector and many of our current employees started out here on work placement schemes, including Marie who is studying vet nursing (which makes her a huge asset to us). Rob who is studying business and Megan (who is our current manager) both began here as TY work experience students!

You can apply via email; [email protected]

Okay so seeing as I can’t reveal all about some of our upcoming events and offers number 5 is just for fun:

5) Our gorgeous Royal Pythons were too busy to eat for us last weekend and there were a lot of excited faces around here when we discovered why…they were mating! We have never had baby Royals (aka Ball Pythons) in Reptile Village before and we are hoping this is another first for us in 2013! Needless to say, our female royal pyhton is being watched round the clock by our team, making sure she is as comfortable as she can be, in the hopes that she has lots of eggs in her ever expanding tummy! I’ll keep you posted on this!

But seriously, who wouldn’t want some cute baby versions of this:
