The Reptile Hut

09/02/2025

So we have something very, very special courtesy of our good friends over at DarksideColubrids.

We believe these are the first UKCB Mexican Speckled Racers (Drymobius margaritiferus fistulosus) ever to be available in a UK Reptile shop so they're incredibly rare.

These little snakes have some very particular care requirements that will be discussed with any potential owners and they will require an experienced keeper.

They're currently eating well on defrost Frogs leg meat with the occasional pinky head.

This is a chance to own one of the most sought after colubrids.

**Pictures attached are of one of the babies (left) and one of the father of the clutch(right)**

Morning all, we're open today but my phone is playing up, I can't take incoming calls, call out or text.

Fortunately i can connect to wifi so If you need to contact me please call or message via WhatsApp on my normal number.

I have been busy printing these 3d signs, just these four available at the moment but more will become available over the coming weeks.

We will also be making customised name plates for enclosures once I've finalised the designs.

Thank you
