01 / On set, on callLive presentations for schools, lodges, corporate events and private functions. Educational, hands-on and memorable, with venomous and non-venomous species under expert handling.
02 / Live experienceReptiles supplied to film, television, stills and editorial. We work to call sheets, shot lists and creative briefs, and we leave nothing on set that should not be there.
03 / Production supportCaptive-bred snakes and reptiles available to vetted keepers and approved facilities. Health-checked, well-handled stock with permits and paperwork in order.
04 / Ethical supplySavrix-built handling tools for the trade: hooks, tongs, transport bins and custom enclosures. Field tested by working wranglers, made for daily use.
05 / Pro equipmentEvery brief starts with a risk plan, a welfare plan and a fall-back. Insurance documentation, permits and method statements available on request to producers and venues.
06 / AlwaysProductions hire us because we read the room. We arrive early, brief the crew once, stay calm when the schedule slips and pack out clean. The animal goes home in better shape than it arrived.
Tell us the shot, the animal, the actor and the schedule. We come back with the right species, the right handler and a method that will hold up on the day.
Every booking ships with a written risk assessment and a welfare plan. Producers, line producers and venues get clean documentation, not promises.
Wranglers stay with their animal from rig to wrap. Talent gets a calm walk-through. Crew gets clear go and stop signals. Nobody improvises.
Animals decompress in transport-grade housing and head straight back to their setup. Set is left exactly the way we found it, including the small things.
The right animal in the right hands turns a complicated shot into three calm takes. That is the entire job.
