Proudly offering competitive prices for live reptile shows in Pennsylvania.
Living Earth Reptile Encounters offers 3 different types of Encounters:
Programs: Smaller size (<30 people)and of shorter duration, classes are ideally suited for school classrooms! Includes animals appropriate to the subject (usually 8-10 animals for 1 hour for longer/multiple classes, more animals can attend, up to 20 animals), the curriculum, handling, and question & answer period. Tables, chairs, and electricity must be provided by venue, or arrangements made in advance.
Program time does not include set up and tear down (approximately 15 minutes each). The hour starts when setup is complete. If a program runs over a little bit on our end, there's no additional charge. Additional program time due to run over on the customer's end, will be prorated.
A Program is one hour long, for $150. (For schools, a program is one class period.)Each additional hour is $50.
Some schools have requested two-day options, so that more grades can benefit from programs, but due to the additional fuel and setup/teardown, there's an additional charge for this option:
Two Day Packages:
5 classes each day, $600
6 classes each day, $800
7 classes each day, $1000
Presentations: A great way to accommodate larger groups, whether several classes taking the same course, entire grade levels, or a group with a large membership. Presentations are effective teaching tools in themselves, or in combination with in-class programs. As always – choose from the prepared curricula or customize a presentation to suit your needs.
Includes ten animals, presentation with accompanying text and diagrams, question & answer period, and handling. Tables, chairs, and electricity must be provided by venue.
Medium presentation: 50-250 people, longer duration - 2 hours. Price $350.
Large presentation: 250-400 people, duration - 3 hours. Price $450.
Showcases: A unique opportunity to bring a live reptile exhibit to any venue. This is an independently run exhibit, and Living Earth is responsible for all setup/teardown. Ten or more live reptiles will be brought to your location in safe, secure display enclosures for the designated time. The showcase will be manned at all times to speak with the public (who is free to come and go as they please) and answer questions. Excellent for malls, shopping centers, and fairs, as well as libraries, company picnics, and political “Voter Appreciation” parties.
Includes 10 enclosures, discussion, handling, and answering questions. Tables, chairs, and electricity must be provided by venue.
Half-Day Showcase: 4 hours. Price $600.
Full-Day Showcase: 8 hours. Price $800.
Open to Close Showcase (Great for malls, pet stores, festivals, etc): 12 hours. Price $1000.
For 8-12 hour showcases, add on the optional, crowd attracting, 30-minute presentation for an additional $175.
Any program offered outdoors will require the venue to provide cover – a picnic shelter, tent, canopy, etc... unless prior arrangements are made.
