ANIMAL HIRE
snakes alive can travel to most parts of the South East, Essex and London to provide a wide range of Lizards, Snakes, Amphibians, Insects and Arachnids (Spiders) for hire for use in various campaigns, promotions and productions.
Alternately we have a fully equipment studio with lighting and backdrops that we can hire out for you to use. This is located within walking distance of Shoeburyness train station which is on the London Fenchurch Street line. Because the studio is close to our base we can offer much cheaper prices, as we would not have to travel far with the animals. More information about the studio can be found at https://www.unionstudios.biz/studio-hire
If you are not sure what animal you are after send us an email detailing what you hope to achieve and we will be in touch. You can also see some of our animals in action in the slideshow below.
Prices from £90. Contact us for a tailor made package
