Real Aussie Reptiles

Had this gorgeous red belly black in the cat run today. Fortunately cats are safe, 3/4 were fast asleep.

Think the poor dude was startled from the lawn being mowed earlier today and was looking for somewhere new to hide.

Shoutout to Harrison's Gold Coast and Brisbane Snake Catcher for promptly coming out to move the dude along for us. That gap is now covered!

Took some quick snaps today of some of the crew. Chonky Ray line visual T+ and het T+ girls ready to go this season, juvenile hypo Bredli and Daintree Jungle Python.

What do you think?

Gday again guys!

I'm gonna start getting set for the brissie and sunny coast reptile expos!

What sort of stuff would people be keen in? (Merch wise)

G'day guys!

First of all I hope all my followers in SEQ haven't taken too much of a beating. We got power back pretty quick, I was expecting days to a week but only off for 30hrs- thanks hard working crew at Energex in this sh*te weather. The roads are flooding as expected.

I just wanted to apologise, the more recent custom orders have been cut but due to indecisive Alfred taking his time, they haven't been sent out yet.

I shall get them out as soon as I can I promise!

G'day followers!

January has been a year :| lets hope the next 11months are a bit smoother. How have my h**p buddies been getting on?

I just thought I'd update on the FINGERGRIP side of the store- due to a lack of sales of certain types, I've decided to stick with the silver/black across the entire range, opaque in SOME of the range and entirely CEASE making the gold/black - they just aren't viable to continue :( I will be updating the store for this tonight.

On the flipside, that means I have the dregs of some now discontinued grips, at discounted prices.

The availability is limited to the following- first in best dressed!

please note, unless you were buying the entire lot I can't afford to discount any further!

Edit: forgot to add a key bit! To order just shoot me a PM, as I can't process these totally different prices easily on the website!

G'day followers!

I hope everyone has started off the new year well, and got in some good tine over Christmas, whether for some R&R, family time, or spending time doing whatever the hell you want!

To welcome everyone into the new year I'd like to offer a huge 20% off ALL name plate designs for THREE DAYS ONLY - then we'll be cutting the plates hence the limited time! Orders must be placed by WEDNESDAY 8/1 by 5pm.

To get this awesome deal just shoot me a pm with what you'd like to order and we can get the ball rolling!

----

I also wanted to say... due to a significant change in circumstances out of my control, it looks like breeding Jungles next year will have to take a back step :( For space reasons I can no longer hold onto the snakes pictured so shoot me a message.

Some nice feedback about our enclosure name plates :)

Made from high quality two tone high quality suoer durable acrylic that is precision laser engraved to show the white layer.

These measure 90mm x 40mm to show enough detail yet have a slim sleek profile. 1.6mm thick and come with strong adhesive backing- simply peel the backing off and stick to a clean smooth surface (works on melamine)

I've tested numerous disinfectants including F10 and doesn't discolour or affect the acrylic at all.

I personally design these (no formal design training, I'm actually a vet professional) manually and then emply my mother Gemini Creative to use her industrial laser to cut and engrave them. My partner who works for Rogue Create + Print designed my logo, did the website etc. So we legit are a small family run operation run by 3 people! I personally check and pack all orders.

Wholesale enquiries welcome and I do apply discounts for bigger orders: 10% off for 11+, 15% for 21+ and 20% for 31+

08/12/2024

Check these out! We obviously can't give them the adventures they'd have in the wild, but at least we can do our best to enrich their homes!

Revealing... the proofs for the hanging timber decorations!

I've had to modify the designs to get them to come out correctly on the timber. Now just waiting for the timber rounds to arrive!

They will be 6-8cm in diameter, Radiata Pine, a non-native tree that is harvested to allow natives to grow in its place, where they belong! So these are sustainably sourced

Designed by myself, and engraved by my mother.

There will only be 100 of these made before Christmas, so if you'd like to order, shoot me a PM! limited numbers!

05/12/2024

Update on whats happenin at RAR!

1. I'll be doing a cut within the next week for those with pending orders! or for those wanting to place orders

2. I will be doing a limited number of 100 timber round decorations, they'll be 6-8cm in diameter and real timber cuts not just dodgy mdf, ply or veneer. They are a sustainably sourced timber and should look awesome. If interested, shoot me a PM as limited numbers avail and thry won't be on the site.
