✨Petunia✨
Have you met our resident female salmon pink tarantula?
She is one of Ash's collection who resides in our invert room.
Did you know that female tarantulas life span can be up to 30 years where as males tend to be around 10 years.
This is because girls are better than boys (this is Gemmas opinion and not a fact. Please do not get cross. Although Gemma is usually right)
Pop in and ask to see our invert room which is full stocked with amazing and inverts and day hello to Petunia!

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!

✨Giant African Land Snails✨
These ones aren't so giant yet as they as the babies of big mama!
Giant African Land snails have long been a favourite pet. They are easy to house, feed and are fun to handle.
As well as a diet of select fruits, flowers, veggies, herbs and plenty of calcium (Cuttlefish bone, calcium cake and even crushed up snails eggs!)
These guys were having a snack of Protein day yesterday.
Land snails actually need a certain amount of protein to help keep their muscle mass at the optimum level. Too much protein can give them too much muscle and can result in their body becoming too large for their shell. Protein should be offered at 20 - 25% twice a week. Special snail mixes can be purchased or you can offer foods such as:
Bloodworm
Pinkie mice
Mince meat
Dead insects
Dried mealworm
A small amount of fish food.
Fun fact 💭: They have a reputation for being slow movers but can move at the same speed as an average human walks.
