Hi guys so we've recieved a message that this sweet gentleman is in need if a new home. This was a message sent asking for our help. So if you think you can give Uncle Bob a new home please get in touch, and we can put you in touch with the owner.

His name is Uncle Bob - don’t ask! He’s about 13/14, feeds erratically on small rats. He can come with the set up, but it’s getting on a bit and probably would benefit from something a bit bigger.

My son took him on from his cousin about 10 years ago, and my son has been at uni in Manchester for the last few years and has decided to stay there. Unfortunately, he is not allowed any pets in his flat.

I have been taking care of him while my son was at uni, but I have to say he probably has not had the attention he should have, as I’m not particularly keen, and now that my son is staying in Manchester, we feel it would be best to re home him.

He is fine with handling.

Thanks very much for your help.

I have no photos, but a lady messaged me last week looking for a good home for her 15 year old marginated tortoise named shoey. He needs a new home as sadly the new owner lives somewhere that now floods on a regular basis and feels it's no longer safe for him. He will be coming with his big hibernation box and house. If interested please message me. I would have posted earlier in the week, but it's been a busy one.

Ok guys
A beautiful male cornsnake is in need for a new home. He is approximately 9 years old. He will come with everything he will need to keep him happy and thriving. If you are interested with everything please message or comment and we will get back to you. He will make a fantastic beginner snake. He is based in Shanklin. There is a fee from the new home. If there are any issues please let us know and we will help in any way we can.

According to Facebook we are selling animals and there for will be having our fb page shutdown. 🙄
A rehoming fee is not selling animals, plus our fee didn't come to us, but to wight vipers for the animals feed and equipment. (Which by the way barely covered a thing, it mostly came from our own pockets to do this.) If they shut down our page, please bare with and we will try and set up another. Our number is 07881 075800 please keep our number as it may be our only way to still help you guys out. We have helped around 300 animals in total, from reptiles, to fish, to birds, you name it and we've helped it. The animals we've taken in have been kept in the wrong enclosures, severe 3rd degree burns, starvation and dehydration. We wont see an animal struggle, its not us, and any vet fees, cremation, medication, enclosures, equipment and anything else needed came out of our own pockets. We do apologise for the inconvenience of it all, but you've gotta love the Facebook police.

Wight Vipers - Exotic Pets and Supplies shared from their page. We totally agree that animals should not be bought for Christmas. As like any other animal they are for life not just for Christmas. Also please please do your research as we ourselves have had to take animals in with serious conditions caused by the wrong form of care. Reptiles are the easiest of all animals to look after as long as you k ow what you are doing. Atleast there is no regular grooming involved ( maybe a little bit of skin peeling which by the way is an amazing feeling) plus no walks required unless it's in the blistering hight of summer with a harness across your lawn.
We are always here never the less for anyone requiring advise and support. We can't recommend wight vipers enough. Please go and talk to the amazing people there. Damien and kirsty are super friendly and easy to talk to.
Thank you for reading my super long post, but i feel it is needed this time of year.

Arlo - arlo is such a cute little character and such a cuddle butt! She loves coming out to explore and loves her snuggles🥰 (will sleep in my dressing gown with me all day if she could😂) I got her in 2018 when she was a baby so she is 5 years old. She loves her grub (I feed them locus and waxworms, however they have eaten cockroaches before) she’s always being nosey out of her viv and I’d love for someone to give her all the attention she wants and needs! She really is a sweetheart🥰

Gavin -
Gavin is a sweetie, however he does prefer to be handled less, I got him in 2018 aswell but I’m pretty sure he was a few months old when I got him so around 5/6 years old. He likes an occasional head rub but I haven’t tried to take him out for awhile, he loves to give a lick every now and again but is a grumpy old man and likes his own company! He LOVES his food and almost takes my fingers off🤣 (I hand feed them as it takes them ages to catch it otherwise and I don’t like leaving live food in their vivs) with regular handling (that I can’t provide) he would love his snuggles too!🥰

Both gorgeous leopard geckos looking for a new forever home. Please message if interested. Thank you.

Almost forgot this little guy, but yesterday we helped this little fella find his new forever home. He is a gorgeous bearded dragon, that just loved to chill on my chest and climbed all over my bed.
Just remember even though we are not Currently able to take the animals into our home till we find them a new home, we are still able to help find your animals new homes by posting any information and pictures you have to our page and we can message the potential new and current owners and also collect and deliver for you.
Message with any questions and we will be more than happy to help where we can. Sadly we are looking at roughly 2 years till we can take in again as vikki is waiting on an operation to get her back on her feet.
Thank you all for remaining patient while we conka these challenges.

Ok guys, we've recieved a message kindly asking if we could help look for a fantastic new home for this little guy. If you think you could help please message us and we will get the owner to contact you. Thank you.

Valkyrie is actually a male (we’d already named her before we found that out - oops). She’s orange/red hypo trans and is absolutely gorgeous. She’s very independent and proud, docile but not massively cuddly. We just want a home that will appreciate her as she deserves!
She’s just over a year old, she did turn out to have faecal parasites when we first got her (found on routine faecal screening) and underwent treatment for this. Never had any other issues and last faecal was all good.

Please take a look on my last post as there is a lady with a crested gecko needing rehoming. If anyone is interested please get in touch.
Comment from the owners family member.
Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are struggling. I have I crested gecko, it was my Mother's but she is having to move and can't keep the gecko. It has a vivarium, of course. Is it possible for you to sound around for a new home for her? It would be much appreciated.

Ok guys, I do apologise for the long wait. Health hadn't been great.
We have 3 snakes remaining. 2 cornsnakes and a hognose. Any interest please message me.
I'm also so sorry I can't take any more animals in at the moment as my health has now worsened. After a long recovery from a big operation im waiting for im hopeful I would beable todo this again.
However for the time being I would like to still help as much as I can.
What I propose is that if you need help with rehoming send me a description with photos and I can post them on here. Also I will still be available for any advice if needed.
Again sorry for such a long wait, and inconvenience.
