The Sobek Festival / Fair show is a wonderful way to educate the general public about reptiles, their amazing abilities, and their need for protection. Your guests will be amazed and thrilled by this attraction. Your host, John Poe - featured on Animal Planet, will talk with the audience about the history of crocodilians and his 25+ years of experience in dealing with reptiles.


He will then enter the 15foot x 10foot steel enclosure with a 5' to 8' American Alligator. Once inside he will perform a routine, generally known as "Gator Wrestling", where he will show the speed and awesome power of the alligator. He will also show amazing and odd features and characteristics of the alligator. This is all done in a serious yet informal and humorous manner. BE advised that at most events extra seating is needed after the first show.




Once he has completed this section of the performance he will exit the enclosure and come out to meet the audience. Guests will get an opportunity to get their picture with a 2' baby alligator and John.

Showtime is approx. 30 - 45 minutes with meet and greet sessions immediately after for approx. 30 minutes, or longer depending on the crowd.
