Reptiles and Wolf Rescue
Through outreach at schools, libraries, scouts, and community events, Canyon Critters delivers hands-on animal education. Our programs entertain and inspire. Guests leave with a deeper respect for reptiles and other wildlife.
We promote responsible pet ownership at every show. We also give guests a safe, up-close experience with our critters. Families, students, and community groups can meet animals they may never encounter otherwise.
Canyon Critters was founded by Nicola “Nico” Novelli. Nico built the program around rescue, education, and care. He has dedicated most of his life to animal welfare. For more than 30 years, he has owned and handled many animals, especially snakes. His passion started young and grew through years of professional animal work.
Our shows feature rescued and well-cared-for critters. Nico takes in abandoned animals and gives them a second chance. That mission shapes every program we bring to your school, party, or event.
In addition to reptile shows, Canyon Critters also offers wolf shows. We present every animal safely and responsibly. Guests of all ages are welcome. Curious kids and adults alike can learn, ask questions, and enjoy unique photo opportunities.
We serve the greater metro Denver area, Boulder, and the Foothills. We also travel as far north as Fort Collins and as far south as Colorado Springs. If you want Canyon Critters at your next event, call Nico at 303.642.0690.
Canyon Critters turns animal education into an experience people remember. We teach. We inspire. And we share the wonder of the animal world—one show at a time.
We look forward to serving all of your animal entertainment needs! Book a show or party today.
