Do you know this Turtle?
A customer found this dude running along the Salters Road between Dalkeith and Whitecraig. Because his condition is so good I suspect this is either an escaped pet or someone’s released him (there is a river in the near by country park).
Happy to reunite him if someone knows where he came from or has a lovely pond he can live in 🐢

04/12/2023

Open until 6pm. Because of this rather annoying wind I’ve closed one of the storm doors - very much open for business though.

Interesting observation made earlier today. For those who have met my dog Arrow, some may recall I’ve said he has next to no loyalty to me, and if I was being beaten to a pulp he would do absolutely nothing to help. I may have had one too many slices of peanut butter on toast this afternoon and may have fallen off my office chair. Seizing the moment I just lay on the floor, pretending to be dead for a good 5 minutes. When he felt I was dead long enough he walked right past me and helped himself to the remaining toast on my desk. Man’s best friend eh.

Early delivery of fresh livefoods and frozen rodents so I’ve opened a bit earlier today. New spotty friend also available in the form of this handsome Leo 🦎

22/11/2023

As I’m hiding in the back trying not to die from this cold/flu, Arrow and Hannibal (who is refusing to go into a full hibernation) are showing some emotional support and stealing the heat from right infront of me.
I am in, contained in the office, and will come out if you need assistance. Plenty of frozen left in stock 🐁

21/11/2023

I’m pretty wiped out with this cold so am hoping to close early and die in my bed the rest of the day. If you need anything please drop by in the next couple of hours 🙏🏼
Still have a bit of livefoods and plenty of frozen

Another stow away from Asia! This House Gecko came over on a merchant ship and lost its tail in the process. Besides being lightning fast and almost escaping twice already, it’s a pretty chill little guy and would love a bio to call home so anyone with an available space is welcome to get in touch 🦎

Fresh livefoods and frozen rodents have arrived 🦗 🐭

You would be forgiven for thinking this fell out of someone’s nose or you walked over on the pavement but this is in fact a frog! Meet the appropriately named Bird Poo Mossy Frog 🐸

One of our customers is looking to rehome her Bumblebee Ball Python. Please note this has the spider gene so the wobble is to be expected and it’s recommended not to breed this animal. Details and contact number are below:

Female bumble bee (spider morph) royal Python.
She’s about 8/9 months old.
Excellent feeder and shedding as she should.
‼️PET HOME ONLY‼️

Strangely adorable European Fire Salamander. This girl has a face only a mother could love - and she is also a mum!
Fire Salamanders are so named because they would seek out places to hide; often in stores of wood; and when the wood was thrown into a fire, they would scurry out to avoid the flames 🔥

23/10/2023

Phone is still faulty! I’m not ignoring your calls - I’m literally not receiving them. Call divert to my mobile is just sending me missed call notifications.

Banana Genetic Stripe Ball Python available in store. This is yesterday’s brother. Super vibrant yellows and oranges coming through on this lad 🐍🍌

22/10/2023

Banana Pastel Genetic Stripe anyone? 😱😍

21/10/2023

Open 12-6. Livefoods and frozen rodents in plentiful supply. The phone line is STILL faulty. Virgin have put a call divert in place which seems to work half of the time and the other half just sends me text messages to say I’ve missed dozens of calls ☠️

20/10/2023

Don’t let the storm doors fool you: we’re open until 6 today. Got Leos, Beardies, Corns, Scorpions, Mantis, Millipedes, tonnes of frozen food, plenty of livefoods and a dog that’s wearing on my last nerve.
