Care for your reptile

Royal Python

September 30th, 2022

Royal Pythons are truly exotic pets and certain to be a talking point for any visitors to your home, but they possess a gentle and calm personality when handled regularly and carefully. This makes them ideal for beginners, although you need to be aware of how big they can grow! As a nocturnal snake, pythons are likely to spend most of the day catching up on beauty sleep, but will start to show off a bit more once the sun goes down.

Hermann's Tortoise

September 30th, 2022

Hermann’s Tortoises make the perfect life-long friend. They are undeniably adorable with fascinating yellow-brown shell patterns! Tortoises are most playful (and hungriest) during the day. Please remember that tortoises can live for at least 75 years, making them a serious commitment, however, you are likely to enjoy long-term companionship.

Yemen Chameleon

September 30th, 2022

These tree-loving lizards make attractive pets thanks to their ability to flush different colours depending on their mood. The brighter the colours, the happier and warmer your lizard is! With a tendency towards shyness and a preference for their own company, your Yemen Chameleon is unlikely to want to be handled regularly and could get quite grumpy if you try. However, this does depend on the lizard. If you start handling it carefully when it is very young, you can help your chameleon to avoid stress when you need to handle it or move it in the future.

Corn Snake

September 30th, 2022

If you’re looking for a fun and friendly pet, a Corn Snake is an excellent choice. Generally calm natured, they make great companions. And while other snake species can be fussy about their food, Corn Snakes are usually happy to tuck in, which means less stress for you! Their gorgeous bright colours also make them very attractive to look at and they are sure to be a talking point for visitors.

Red-Eyed Tree Frog

September 30th, 2022

With their vibrant colours and giant eyes, Red-Eyed Tree Frogs make eye-catching and attractive pets. As a nocturnal species, your frog is likely to spend most of the day having a good snooze on a leaf, but once the sun goes down it will be much more active and hop around its enclosure. Because it’s a small and delicate animal, your frog won’t like to be handled too much, so bear this in mind when choosing your pet.

Crested Gecko

September 27th, 2022

Friendly and intelligent, Crested Geckos make wonderful pets. They also enjoy being handled, so start picking up your gecko as early as possible to encourage this behaviour. You may find that they enjoy climbing around your fingers and jumping between your hands!
