Reptile Shows for hire near me

On average, reptile shows cost $150-$350. This price can vary depending on your location, the length and size of the event, and the number of reptiles included in your party package. Hosting a short show with a handful of reptiles and amphibians from a local company is actually a really affordable entertainment option for your party or event.

Most reptile rental companies offer a combination of snakes, lizards, iguanas, and turtles in a variety of species. Some might even offer more exotic reptiles. They will often package their exhibits in various sets for you to choose from – either a combination of all reptiles or a show themed around just snakes or lizards.

In order for you and your guests to have the best reptile experience possible, getting up close and personal is part of the fun. This means all reptiles present will be safe to touch and hold for those brave enough! A professional handler will be present to ensure everyone knows the proper way to interact with the reptiles.

Reptiles are fun for all ages! Unlike normal petting zoos, these aren't the kinds of animals you often interact with in real life. That makes reptile shows intriguing to both children and adults. Younger kids specifically have curious minds, so many would enjoy a reptile birthday party or the addition of a reptile zoo at a school fair. They are also a perfect opportunity for educational entertainment at a school assembly or library event. If you’re looking to attract the young and old alike at a community or corporate event, a reptile exhibit can take your gathering up a scale or two!

Because they are cold-blooded, reptiles cannot regulate their own body temperatures. That means they must be kept in an environment that is not too hot or too cold. Ideally, the temperature at your venue should be 70 to 85 degrees. This can make outdoor events tricky, as weather is often unpredictable. When possible, you should choose an indoor venue if you want to host a reptile expo. If it needs to take place outdoors, be sure the reptile keepers know that prior to booking.

Professional reptile companies will generally bring everything that is required to put on their show. Though, depending on the setup, it may be helpful to provide a table to sit the animal tubs on. More than anything, you just need to provide adequate space. The handlers need room for the reptiles’ containers and to move around comfortably with each one. And there should be a clear area for your guests to stand or sit as they learn about and interact with the reptiles. Once you’ve booked someone, discuss their needs in advance so everything will be ready and run smoothly on the day of the event.
