Meet Zyta
Animal nerd, educator and lifelong keeper.
Zyta's fascination with unusual animals began while growing up in Cyprus and followed her to the UK. By nine, she was already caring for exotic pets — beginning with a stick insect called Frank.
She later studied animal care at college and zoology at university, alongside practical work in areas including zookeeping, aquatics and specialist reptile care. In 2023 she moved into education and brought those two worlds together through Zyta's Creatures.
Animal ambassadors
Meet some of the creatures
From reptiles to invertebrates, each encounter gives people a chance to look closer, ask questions and learn at their own pace.
Snakes
Close-up encounters can help visitors explore reptile behaviour, handling and some of the myths that surround snakes.
Lizards
Lizards are ideal for observing movement, body structure, behaviour and the environments exotic animals need to thrive.
Tortoises
Steady, determined and full of character, tortoises create memorable opportunities for observation and discussion.
