✦ Space & venue needs: We require an indoor room or well-sheltered space protected from wind and direct sun, plus 4–6 tables to set up staging stations.

✦ Animal welfare & handling: To protect our creatures, all handling and subject repositioning is carried out exclusively by our team throughout the session.

✦ Arrival & setup: We arrive approximately 30–45 minutes before your start time to set up the enclosures and acclimate the animals.
