Whether you’re looking to hire a fantastic Tortoise actor or a giant Snail model, we work with experienced animal handlers to provide a range of incredible shelled talent. Our shelled animals are ideal for still photography, (slow) moving imagery, or any marketing brief. We have a great variety of shelled animals for hire!

Shelled animals are often slower than their non-shelled cousins. They are typically calm and relaxed under pressure and more than happy to spend time around new people who are respectful of their space. Shelled animals can be handled provided care is taken to ensure their safety.

Encompassing everything from Hermann’s Tortoises to Giant African Land Snails, our roster of shelled animals is constantly growing.

Before booking, we need to ensure all animals are safe. To find the best talent for you, we enquire about any briefs or storyboards. This process is to ensure you have the perfect talent for your project.

Lastly, Urban Paws can source any type of shelled animal around the UK. If you need additional information on exactly how to hire a shelled animal, feel free to get in touch with our team.

Easy to work with, used to being on set and well cared for by owners and handlers.
