Ian Tite
Ian has always had a very keen interest in reptiles and exotic species of all kinds including insects both native and non-native. He has spent much time studying the science of insect survival and has a great knowledge of species from around the world, their habitats, requirements and fascinating facts which are mostly self-taught. He now has a level 3 diploma in Zoology and has completed a venomous handling course.
After building 'Crazy Creatures' for more than a decade and finding a passion for SEN and wellbeing sessions, Ian has since qualified as a level 3 Animal Assisted Therapy practitioner, diplomas in SEN, as well as certificates in child protection and safeguarding. He has developed a real affinity with young people and teens, including SENMH young people.
Along with wife Amy, Ian now keeps the whole range of 'Crazy Creatures' at home at our Minstead site. Ian is particularly fond of the snakes, bugs and venomous creatures, and has a wealth of knowledge to share about all things scaly and creepy!
