At the Thompson Business Association, we love showcasing local businesses that inspire curiosity, education, and connection. One incredible example is Expedition Reptile LLC, founded and led by Jodi, an experienced reptile show performer and passionate animal advocate who is changing the way people see the scaly side of the animal kingdom.

From Web Development to Wildlife Wonders

By trade, Jodi has owned and operated a successful web development company for over 25 years, but her true passion lies in the world of reptiles. For more than a decade, she has brought her love of these often-misunderstood animals to audiences across New England through immersive, educational reptile shows.

Jodi’s mission is clear: shed fears about reptiles by offering hands-on experiences that spark wonder, respect, and understanding. Whether you’re 5 or 95, her shows make it easy to appreciate the beauty and intelligence of these remarkable creatures.

An Interactive Experience Like No Other

Unlike many animal presentations, Expedition Reptile is designed to be fully interactive. Jodi loves engaging her audiences up close and personal, giving everyone the chance to see and touch these animals in a safe, supportive environment.

Did you know that iguanas can communicate with us? Or that snakes would much rather avoid us than bite? Through engaging storytelling and direct interaction, Jodi busts common myths and encourages curiosity at every turn.

Reptile Shows for Every Occasion

Expedition Reptile offers custom-tailored reptile shows for nearly every event, including:

• Birthday parties

• Educational school programs

• Corporate functions

• Community fairs

• Summer camps

• Special needs-inclusive events

No two shows are the same Jodi adapts each one to the needs and interests of the audience, ensuring that everyone feels included, empowered, and amazed.

Decades of Experience, Endless Passion

With over 15 years of hands-on reptile care and more than a decade of performing live shows, Jodi brings not only unmatched expertise but also heartfelt passion to every event. As an avid outdoorswoman who loves mountain biking, snowboarding, and exploring nature, she combines her adventurous spirit with a deep love for animals.

Her motto?
“Shedding fears, one snake at a time!”
“Come take a walk on the wild side.”

Why It Matters

Expedition Reptile is about more than fun photo ops, it’s about changing minds and opening hearts. By helping audiences understand and appreciate reptiles, Jodi fosters compassion, curiosity, and respect for creatures that are too often misunderstood.

As a proud small business owner and community member, Jodi loves sharing her passion locally and welcomes support from fellow businesses and families eager to learn and experience something truly unique.
