*Please note that most reptiles and amphibians are limited to naturally occurring behaviours. Our staff can elicit a variety of these natural behaviours and positions from our animals, and can adjust animals in advance to novel stimuli which they may encounter in the shot or on set. For this reason, we would ask that you consult with us in advance to discuss your specific needs.

Rates may vary, but are typically $60-90+HST/hour per wrangler plus mileage costs for off-site locations.
