Great way to start the year, helping Toby celebrate his 8th birthday.

Toby is an absolute reptile nut and is due to get his first Crested Gecko this weekend. It was so nice to see the family had done their thorough research into various species before choosing a Crestie. They had the perfect setup, all ready and waiting for their new arrival.

Thanks for having us....and thank you for our scorpion badge and Bearded Dragon 😍🥰🦎🦂

With Christmas & New Year out of the way, it seems people are getting organised and we are now fully booked until APRIL... which is just amazing! 😁

It is, however, a bitter-sweet scenario, as we hate having to turn people away.

So, if you're looking to book a reptile experience, please get in touch ASAP to avoid disappointment!

Thanks for your continued support 🙏

As we reach the end of our second calendar year as Rockin' Reptiles, we're reflecting on just what an incredible year 2024 has been for us. Some of our highlights include:

🦎 BRUNO
We built a huge walk-in enclosure for Bruno, our White-throat Monitor. And my god, it's been so worth it. For anyone that watches our 'Humpday Highlights' every Wednesday, you'll know just how special a lizard he is.

🤝 NETWORKING
We're privileged to have built some truly brilliant relationships with some truly brilliant people, both locally and nationally. We're constantly inspired by the work of others and continue to learn so much.

🤩 ANIMAL STAR AWARD NOMINATION
A cheeky little nomination at the end of the year for an ASA. Amazing 🙏

🌐 WEBSITE
We revamped our website, giving it a fresh new look and providing more information about what we do and why we do it.

😊 ENCOUNTERS
And last but by no means least, we've been lucky to meet some great people, both young and old, allowing them to immerse themselves in the fascinating world of reptiles. Seeing the love shown towards these animals is a reminder of why we do this. We've also helped people with getting their first reptile, assisting with setups, care guides, and ongoing support.

We'd like to say a genuine and heartfelt THANK YOU to our customers and followers for all your support this year. We love reading your reviews and comments 🥰

Also, a special thank you to our amazing family, who help us out so much. We quite literally couldn't do this without you! We're very lucky to have you and appreciate all that you do for us.

So what about 2025? Well....we've been planning what that looks like, so watch this space. Lots of exciting things to come.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
🥳😁🦎🐍🦂🕷🐊🦗

NEW ARRIVAL: We are delighted to welcome IRENE to the Rockin' Reptiles family. Irene is a Mangrove Snake, native to southeast Asia. This is a species we've kept before and have wanted to keep again for a long time.

A truly stunning, yet rather sassy girl who will take a little work to get her used to being handled.

We've given her a large naturalistic enclosure, providing lots of places to hide, climb, and weave amongst the foliage as she would in the wild.

Huge shoutout to our good friends for helping us source this one. Another great example of the modern-day reptile community connecting to help each other out.

We'll create a reel to tell you more about her in the new year.

What a beauty!

We know how busy life can be, so when customers take time out of their busy lives to leave us a review, we really do appreciate it.

Each time you leave a review for a small business like ours, you make actual humans do a little happy dance!
💃 🕺 😜

We never take any of these reviews for granted. Thank you so so much. We have the best customers! 🥰
