Safety. Compliance. Professional Standards.

Every experience coordinated through ExoticAnimals.events is delivered by licensed animal teams operating within applicable local regulations — with safety, animal welfare, and professionalism as the foundation of every event we produce.

OUR COMMITMENT

ExoticAnimals.events coordinates professionally managed animal experiences across the United States.

We work exclusively with licensed teams that meet established standards for:

  1. Animal care and enrichment
  2. Handler supervision and expertise
  3. Insurance coverage and documentation
  4. Regulatory and licensing compliance
  5. On-site event safety protocols

Every event is structured to protect guests, venue partners, animal teams, and the animals themselves.

Safety is not an add-on. It is the framework.

LICENSED & REGULATED TEAMS

We coordinate with licensed animal teams operating under applicable state and federal regulations.

Depending on species and location, this may include:

  1. USDA licensing where applicable
  2. State wildlife permits
  3. Municipal approvals
  4. Transportation compliance
  5. Venue-specific documentation requirements

Documentation can be provided upon request when required by a venue or production company.

ON-SITE HANDLER AUTHORITY

Every event includes a professional handler who remains with the animals at all times.

Handlers have full authority to:

  1. Restrict guest interaction at any time
  2. Adjust positioning or animal proximity
  3. Pause or discontinue interaction if needed
  4. Relocate animals in response to conditions
  5. Enforce all safety boundaries and protocols

If a guest appears intoxicated, unsafe, or disruptive, interaction will be denied — no exceptions.

Children under 10 years old must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times.

Handler authority protects everyone involved — guests, animals, and our team.

VENUE REQUIREMENTS

Animal experiences require appropriate environmental conditions.

Depending on the animal, requirements may include:

  1. Flat, stable surfaces and adequate space
  2. Climate considerations for temperature-sensitive species
  3. Truck and trailer access to remain on-site during the event
  4. Dedicated parking space near the setup area
  5. Sufficient clearance for enclosures or display environments
  6. Venue approval documentation in advance

Public parks, beaches, or municipal properties may require additional permits. Clients are responsible for confirming venue approval unless otherwise arranged during the booking process.

WEATHER POLICY

Events operate rain or shine.

In the event of severe weather that poses a risk to animals, staff, or guests — such as lightning, extreme wind, or dangerous conditions — animals may need to seek shelter or be relocated until conditions are safe.

For safety reasons, there are no refunds for inclement weather once animals have been dispatched.

INSURANCE COVERAGE

We coordinate with licensed teams that carry commercial liability insurance.

Certificates of Insurance (COI) can typically be provided when required by a venue or production company. Coverage levels vary by team and location and are disclosed during the booking confirmation process.

For large productions and corporate events requiring specific coverage thresholds, please include your insurance requirements in your proposal so we can confirm eligibility in advance.

ANIMAL WELFARE STANDARDS

We prioritize teams that maintain:

  1. Veterinary oversight and regular health checks
  2. Enrichment practices appropriate to each species
  3. Proper transport standards and equipment
  4. Responsible public interaction limits
  5. Ethical treatment at every stage of care

We do not:

  1. Sell animals or broker animal sales
  2. Operate as a wildlife rescue service
  3. Force animals to perform unnatural behaviors

Animal wellbeing is central to every experience we coordinate — not a checkbox.

WHAT WE DO NOT ALLOW

For clarity and the protection of everyone involved:

  1. Intoxicated or impaired guests may not interact with any animal
  2. Guests may not enter animal enclosures under any circumstances
  3. Animals may not be restrained for unsafe or improper photos
  4. Guests may not independently feed animals outside of supervised interactions
  5. Unauthorized handling of any animal is strictly prohibited

 

Professional standards are non-negotiable. These rules exist to protect guests, animals, and the integrity of every event.

OUR ROLE

ExoticAnimals.events serves as a coordination platform — connecting clients with licensed animal teams across the country.

We centralize:

  1. Client communication and proposal management
  2. Compliance coordination and documentation requests
  3. Insurance verification and COI requests
  4. Payment processing and agreement management
  5. Vendor matching and booking logistics

 

We do not replace the authority of the licensed animal team on-site. The handler’s decisions regarding animal safety and guest interaction are always final.
