I would like to know if your animals could be set free in the wild where they belong . Or are they handicap where they cannot survive free. Little Ray from Ottawa area i believe .Please reply to this e-mail . If you don’t then i will take that as they should be free.
Hello Roger and thank you for your question. Because the majority of our animals have been in the pet industry without strict quarantine protocols they could have come into contact with viruses, and other diseases. As a result they are not candidates for re-release into the wild. To further compound the problem, many of these animals have a huge natural range and there are genetic differences between different populations. For instance, tokay geckos are found throughout most of South East Asia. If someone brings us one that was a pet there is no way to determine where it came from and you would not be able to assume it was from Thailand for instance when it could have come from Indonesia. It is very unfortunate but once exotic animals are in the pet trade they are not eligible for release. Another factor, after an animal is in captivity for a period of time and acclimated to people and captive care they will not fare well in the wild. In Canada, people often take turtles from the wild as pets and realize they are NOT suitable for the long term. In Ontario, as long as the turtle hasn’t been out of the wild for more then a year and they can be released within 2 kms of where they were found they are candidates for release. We encourage all people who have taken turtles from the wild to immediately release them and if we receive any that fit this criteria we release them 100% of the time. We have a massive influx of animals which have a huge care cost. We release every single animal that comes in and is eligible.
Please let me know if you have further questions.
-Sincerely - Little Ray

Thank you again , and cant wait to see you all here in moncton .
Hi: I really looking forward to seeing this display with my daughter this weekend. We will be returning from provincials for hockey in Saint John and will catch the show on the way home. And I believe you answered Roger’s question perfectly.
Hi,we are so excited that you’re coming to Moncton,and were wondering how to find out the schedule for the daily shows,etc..I’ve been searching and can’t seem to find it.Thanks!
Bonjour Little Ray
I’m wondering if my 2 year old will be able to touch and interact with some of these animals (les moins dangereux évidement). What kind of activity will there be for toddlers ? In french ?
Merci, on a hâte !
We will see you in. Moncton. Thanks for coming.
I remember once when I was young I was allowed to touch a huge python at a zoo in England. I have always longed to do this again. Will I have that opportunity if I come to your show in Moncton?
My kids really enjoyed your exhibit at the Williamstown Fair years ago, when we still lived in Ontario. Also, they had such fun holding various creatures during their cousin’s Birthday party at your facility-especially the great big Albino Python. Now that we’re East Coasters, I hope to bring them out to your Moncton exhibit, and re-introduce them to your fascinating creatures! Thanks for all you do to educate people on these interesting animals.
I just would like to say that what you do is amazing. If it were not for you and others’ no one would be able to see these magnificent creatures up close and personal. We (the Metcalfe family) have attended many shows and found them highly educational and entertaining. We are able to freely ask questions and our children are able to seeand interact for themselves with these great and often misrepresented creatures. Steel City Safari was one of the greatest exhibits we have attended and have no doubt that Ray’s will be just as good if not more amazing.
Keep up the great work guys!!!!!
Thank you for coming to Moncton. It was a great opportunity for our little guy to see a variety of animals he would otherwise not be able to see in our area. Great Exhibit!
Thanks for comming to moncton it was awesome git to hold the scorpion it was amazing and i really love how you treat the animals !!
I hope i can go to your zoo some time and thank you for coming to moncton.
as posted on facebook, if I took a screen shot of where I shared your page, everyone in my group will receive 2.00 off admission. is this true. I will be there tomorrow with my 3 year old grandson, he is so excited to see the crock.
We had the best time at your exhibit in Moncton, NB…. Please come back again!!! Thanks
I went to see you exhibit in Moncton yesterday and it was great. I got some great pictures but now don’t remember the names of some of the snakes - do you have pictures and a list of the animals you had in Moncton so I could try and match my pictures with the names? I am a scrapbooker and want to do an album of what I saw. By the way petting the python was the highlight of my day. Thanks
Thank you for such an informative introductory. I am looking forward to having my children & grandchildren come with me to your Ancaster show on April 14th. May you all travel safely. See you then.
I missed your Hamilton apr 13 show. Will you be coming back anytime soon or near by?
Quick thank you for putting on an amazing show! I think it’s wonderful that you are taking the time to educate people in an interactive environment. My 4 year old daughter was called out of her seat to have your python wrapped around her and has not stopped talking about it since. As much as I disliked your tarantula that close to me I can see the passion you have for these animals and I think it’s wonderful that you spend your time educating the rest of us. A huge kudos to little Ray and his entire team for making my birthday and my daughters day beyond amazing.
Just wanted to say that my 5 year old and I had an amazing time on Sunday. Loved the interaction with all the reptiles!! We WILL be back!!
My son is very interested in reptiles and he was wondering if you can purchase a reptile from your zoo?
ps that is a great response to Roger’s question.
