About Us
At snakesalive, we put our love for reptiles into all that we do.
At snakes alive, we are passionate about sharing the fascinating world of reptiles with our community. With a history dating back to 1996, we have been dedicated to providing unique and engaging reptile experiences across various settings.
Originally based in Essex, we are now excited to relaunch our business near Ipswich in Suffolk, UK. Our team is committed to delivering high-quality services that educate and entertain. Whether it's a birthday party, a school visit, or an event for media and corporate clients, we strive to create memorable experiences for all ages.
Our mission is to inspire curiosity and appreciation for reptiles through interactive and educational encounters. We believe in fostering a deeper understanding and respect for these amazing creatures, while ensuring their welfare and safety at all times.
Due to our recent relocation we are currently on pause until we obtain our new Animal Activities Licence. Please watch this space for updates or reach out to us directly for more information.

Disclaimer
The welfare of all our animals is highly important to us, and their well-being comes before any part of the business. We will remove any animal from display at the first signs of stress and thus the animals we choose to bring may vary at short notice.
We never consider our animals as naturally tame or house trained, however, each animal has established handling as a regular occurrence to assist us in their care.
Careful consideration and research should be taken when purchasing any animal as a pet. Most of our animals have been rescued or re-homed due to the owners no longer wanting them, we have taken them in and cared for them. If you would like to keep a reptile as a pet we are happy to answer questions and can put you in touch with local rehoming facilities.
