Want to see something cool that Gemma totally isn't completely and utterly jealous of?

This awesome tattoo one of our customers got for their Bearded Dragon, Blossom.
Also a few pics of Blossom because who doesn't love a cute photo of a Bearded Dragon!

Thank you for letting us share this and forcing Gemma to book another tattoo appointment...

We currently have Bearded Dragons in store. Drop us a message or pop in for more information!

Guess what's back at KBN reptiles?

✨Hermanns tortoise✨

Hermanns Tortoises are again becoming popular, though their housing requirements have changed drastically from how they were kept in the past.

As a general rule, tortoises do not like being picked up.
They don’t feel safe when their feet are off the ground and can lunge forward causing them to fall. If they are dropped, it can crack and damage their shell.

Contrary to popular belief, they have many nerve endings just under the shell, so can feel everything that happens to their shells. The shell of the tortoise actually contains more nerve endings than under your finger nails, so they can feel everything you do to their shells.

We have 5 currently available in store.
Pop in store or drop us a message for more information about these adorable little ones!

✨Venezuelan Suntiger✨

A stunning arboreal species with bright orange markings which is brighter when younger. They develop a green hue to their carapace as they mature.

These guys prefer it dark and humid so a deep substrate and regular misting is important!

They are very quick and can be quite defensive if provoked, so these are a intermediate species.

Pop in store or drop us a message for more information!

✨Giant Asian Mantis✨

We managed to catch this guy having his lunch!

Simple care needs, easy to look after and great eaters!

I'd like to offer a formal apology Ash!

Yesterday when posting the amazing new KBN sponsorship sign he was cut off the photo.

Ash is an integral part of the KBN team so I thought he deserved an extra spot on the socials.

✨Giant Spiny Stick Insects✨

Giant spiny stick insects are a ground dwelling species, preferring to hide on the ground than climb.
As babies, they are various shades of green and brown turning almost black as adults.
Males are distinguished by their 1 inch long thorns of their back legs once adulthood is reached.
They use these as a defence mechanism, these will draw blood if used!

We currently have these guys in stock!

✨It's live food delivery day!✨

We have new stocks of live food in store every Friday and Tuesday which keeps our Nigel busy.

Did you know we can sell live food individually too?
If you have inverts that eat less frequently we can separate boxes and just sell you what you need so there is no waste and it saves you money.

Just ask a member of the team next time you're in store!

🩷MEET THE TEAM🩷

✨Nigel✨ Nigel is Katie's dad, he helps in the shop 4 days a week and can normally be found sitting next to the livefood shelves. He is quality control when it comes to our livefood stocks and maintains the high quality that we pride ourselves on, if you ever need information on how to keep your livefood alive longer, just ask him! Nigel creates the bags of substrate that make up our wide range of substrate available and also specialises in Bearded dragons.

✨Indian Ornamental✨

A popular arboreal Tarantula originating from India. They can grow up to an 18cm leg span and are an incredibly hardy species with relatively simple care needs although they do require a high humidity.

These guys are for the experienced keepers only. Whilst usually quite shy and really beautiful they are also incredibly fast and will not hesitate to bite if provoked.

Fun fact 💭: Indian ornamentals are one of very few species of Tarantula that can be kept communally (in groups) from a young age.

🩷MEET THE TEAM🩷

✨Ashley✨ In 2015, Ash started regularly coming in to the shop with his family after moving from down south. In 2017, Ash asked if he could volunteer 1 day a week to gain some more experience and then became our Saturday boy while he was at college studying Science. After leaving college, he spent more time here volunteering and as his confidence grew, he decided this was the industry for him. In late 2019, he started working here full time on an apprenticeship with Moreton Morrell College finishing in early 2022.

Ash has lived with Katie since 2020 and enjoys playing World of Warcraft and spending time with the dogs when he isn’t at work. He also loves collecting Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit memorabilia.

In October 2022, he was given the opportunity to become Assistant Manager which he gladly took on. He has a real passion for snakes and owns our breeding trio of Vietnamese Blue Beauty Ratsnakes, pair of Spotted pythons, Corn snakes and our Leopard gecko colony. Ash also runs our ever growing Invertebrate section and particularly loves Tarantulas.

Hand prints on you vivarium doors driving you insane?
The "Great British sun" showing up all the smudges and marks?
Worried about what to use that wont harm your reptiles and inverts?

Then worry no more! Reptishine is a reptile safe glass cleaner that leaves no residue. It is safe to clean the glass inside of your tanks too (be sure to remove the animals before spraying inside the terrarium as it has a 60% alcohol vapour).

You can also use it on everyday things such as mirrors, windows, glass surfaces.
We have the 1000 and 500ml in store.
