About Us

Reptiles have been a part of my life since I was six years old. Growing up, I always dreamed of working with animals, but I never thought it would become a reality. Over time, I discovered that reptiles weren’t just a hobby—they were my passion. That passion led me to start David’s Jungle, where we specialize in breeding a variety of captive-bred reptiles while also contributing to tortoise conservation efforts.

Now, with Tortoise And Friends, I have the opportunity to share my love for reptiles in a whole new way. Our mission is to bring exciting, educational, and hands-on reptile experiences to kids, families, and events of all kinds. From our 350-pound giant tortoise Frank the Tank, to our large variety of different tortoise, lizard and snake species. We introduce people to the amazing world of reptiles in a fun and interactive setting. Whether it’s sparking curiosity, overcoming fears, or simply making unforgettable memories, we love showing just how incredible these animals truly are!
