Nurseries, schools, playgroups etc! We have a surplus of baby stick insects so are giving 5-10 free to any educational facilities that might want to keep them (whilst stocks last). You will need a secure ventilated container (we sell these if needed), no heating or lighting required as long as a reasonable room temperature is maintained, and a diet of privet or bramble! Ideal educational "pet" for kids! These are babies so can watch them grow.

We will also have more Dwarf Hermann's in soon, along with Red-Foot Tortoises back in stock in a few weeks! Full setups, equipment and food always in stock.

Ready to go in 2 weeks but can be reserved now.. These tiny 'Santa Isabel' dart frogs (Epipedobates anthonyi) are so cute. A bold confident frog despite their tiny size, you will see them actively exploring and feeding. They can live in communities of mixed sexes peacefully and thrive in bioactive enclosures. They are a fantastic beginner dart frog. Bred by a local breeder in Cardiff too!

We have one male and two female 'Nosy Faly' Panther chameleons ready to go to new homes now. They don't show their colours very well when young but the females are showing some beautiful peaches already, and the male is going to be a stunner with some great green, red and white contrast when he's older!

We've got a free comprehensive care guide on our website: https://www.reptilecymru.co.uk/panther-chameleon-care-guide/

REHOME! Please share! Can you help provide a home for this absolutely beautiful 8 year old (fully grown) male Jungle Carpet Python? This guy deserves a nice arboreal tank (such as the ReptiHome Arboreal Deep) where he can sit on his branches all day long and watch the world go by. He'll make an amazing display and also has a very sweet and friendly temperament! If you can't offer him a home please share to up his chances of finding a match.

BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY - OPEN 11AM TO 4PM

Sorry to say that due to the Easter schedule and a busy weekend we do not have much livefood at all. The only livefood we have left today is standard sizes of crickets and a small amount of the XL / Winged Locusts. If you're travelling far please call 02920 190291 before travel to see what's available as these may sell out as well.

We will have a delivery of fresh livefood in tomorrow (morning).

We've been super busy and not getting many pics updated - sorry! Hoping to get the website updated soon. In the meantime we are open 7 days a week (except Easter Sunday) and have loads of new animals in, including rescues and rehomes as well.

Could you offer a home to this rehome Horsfield Tortoise? 6 year old male looking for a wonderful home! Rehoming fee applies and setup required. He would be ideal for someone who is looking for a well grown on tortoise who can enjoy a secure garden this spring/summer, but an indoor setup will be required for the colder weather.

FOUND: Tortoise found wandering around St. Mellon's. If anyone has a tortoise that they thought was hibernating outside and it might be missing please contact us with a description or photo of the tortoise and we can compare. It has some health problems so may have been out a while. Please share this to try and find the owner as if it has escaped someone might be quite upset, especially this close to Christmas!

Our Story

We - Christy and Ben Bruckner - opened Reptile Cymru in 2007 with the aim of providing high quality captive bred reptiles with a focus on animal welfare and sustainability within the pet trade.

As a family-run independent small business, we can focus on the things that are most important to us - which is increasing awareness of how to correctly care for reptiles and ensuring that our animals go to the correct homes. We want you to be happy with your reptiles, and for them to be happy with you too!

We’ll always try to price-match where possible and offer excellent value for money, so if you’re thinking about buying elsewhere, just have a chat with us and we’ll see what we can do for you.

By supporting Reptile Cymru, you support a community focused business and help us to put our energy and finance into ecological sustainability, education, awareness and rescuing and rehoming exotics that need a second chance, something we receive no funding for.
