African Fat Tailed Geckos have just arrived 😍

Fat tailed geckos in terms of size and care are very similar to leopard geckos.. just a little more humid. This makes them a fantastic candidate for new keepers and on top of this they are super friendly even from a young age πŸ™‚

These 4 captive bred babies are just adorable.. I can’t see these hanging around long ! Full setups are available in store🦎

For more information please get in touch πŸ™‚

🦐🦐 White Amano Shrimp 🦐🦐

Amano shrimps have been kept as aquarium clean up crew for years and although they usually aren’t the most colourful shrimp in their wild form (picture 3) they are still one of the best algae eaters money can buy !

These shrimp don’t breed in freshwater, or at least not all the way. The adults live and mate in freshwater and the female will carry her eggs around for around 5 weeks before releasing them and from here the eggs are washed out to sea. The larvae grow in salty conditions as they gradually return to the mountain streams their parents come from.

The white Amano is a captive bred strain from Taiwan, the colour on these doesn’t fade as with the original white Amano. Instead they maintain the brilliant white colour you can see in these great photos Jack captured of the shrimps we have in stock 😍 These are sure to stand out in your planted tanks while providing you with a much needed cleaning service 🧼

Both Whjte and Standard Amanos available - for more information please get in touch πŸ™‚

African Pygmy Dormice… AKA Micro Squirrels !!

Considering a mammal as your next pet but fancy something a bit different.. well these could be for you πŸ™‚

These need to be housed in a tall glass vivarium with plenty of climbing opportunities and places to sleep/hide. They are arboreal so love branches with elevated hidey holes. They feed on a mix of seeds, fruits and they absolutely love bugs !

We have 4 of these available 🐭 they are highly social so we would prefer these went in either 2 pairs or as a group of 4 !

Full setups available in store - For more information please get in touch πŸ™‚πŸ­

Macleays Spectre Stick Insect 🀩🀩

Also known as the Giant Prickly Stick Insect and boy does it live up to its name ! As adults they are very prickly and can be quite painful if they really don’t want to be picked up ! Aside from this they are actually very easy to care for. House in a large mesh cage (we have these in stock) with lots of cuttings of their food plant which they can climb on and feed on the leaves.

Food wise they will feed happily on bramble which is readily available all year. They also love Eucalyptus which they would feed on naturally in the wild.

We have several of these lovely stick insects available - for more information please get in touch 😁

Plumed Basilisk 😍

Also known as the Jesus Christ Lizard as this species can literally run across water. They are a fairly large species reaching lengths of around 90cm, although most of that is tail. They like an arboreal tank with plenty of cover and branches to perch on. They don’t stray far from water so a good sized water bowl is a must.

We have just had this gorgeous male come in.. what a cracker he is !! Only 1 available.. for more information please get in touch 😁

Now you know how much we love the weird and wonderful… well they don’t get much more unusual than this !

Two Toed Amphiuma - a type of Salamander, believe it or not, native to Southwestern USA. These guys inhabit swampy waters, lakes and other aquatic habitats thick with vegetation where they dig burrows in mud. They can grow to nearly 4ft long and can live for nearly 30 years !

They feed on a range of worms, small fish and occasional frogs and lizards - they are ambush predators often waiting for a passing meal to grab hold of. They have a pretty hefty bite too so watch your fingers !!

These are very rare to find in the hobby so we are pleased we have two available this week 😁 this is something for a real collector of the weird and wonderful!

For more information please get in touch 😁

Long-nosed Horned Frogs 🀩

These amazing frogs are simply incredible.. not just visually striking but also a very interesting to keep too.

They inhabit the leafy undergrowth of the forests SouthEast Asia where they have evolved to blend in with their surrounding with some of the best camouflage in the natural world. Their striking appearance allows them to move around near enough undetected.

Living on the forest floors they prefer temperatures a little cooler low to mid twenties during the day with a little drop at night. They have a great appetite eating various bugs of a suitable size.

A very cool frog indeed and something very different to the usual species seen 😁🐸

4 available - for more information Please get in touch πŸ™‚

A fresh set of clothes on for a gorgeous Tarantula today 🀩

Tarantulas molting is an incredible process and one that’s even more fascinating if you get to watch it from start to finish. The size difference when they come out makes you wonder where in Earth it all was under the old skin and the colour transformation is incredible to.. they almost look fresh and new.

This Sazimai Tarantula also known as Brazilian Blue has just gone through a molt in store, something you get to see less frequently with the bigger spiders… and wow just look at those colours 😍 older spiders closer to adult or even adults themselves molt far less frequently as they aren’t growing as rapidly as Spiderlings and juveniles.

Just one of many reason spiders are awesome to keep 😁

Apple Snails are back in stock !!

Apple snails are always a popular aquarium inhabitant when we have them available. For many years they’ve been banned in the UK due to being a potential pest in warmer parts of Europe but now the ban has been lifted we can enjoy this active snail in our aquariums again. They can tolerate a mix of temperatures so suitable for unheated and heated tanks alike. They have a ravenous appetite and will chomp their way through algae very quickly ! If you have plants keep your snail well fed with pieces of veggies or the plants may disappear if you’re not careful..

Breeding wise these snails are quite interesting they climb out of the water and lay their eggs above for protection. The eggs are bright pink and turn a whiteish colour before hatching. Because they lay them on the lid this makes them quite easy to remove if you don’t want lots of snail babies.

An awesome snail that grows quite large and bright yellow what more could you want ! 🐌

🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

Yesterday we received something really special 😍

Captive Bred MBU Pufferfish !!! 😱🀩

Not only are these adorable little babies, you almost never see so small, but the fact they are captive bred is a massive step forward for this species and potentially other puffers too. MBU’s previously seen available, around the world, have always been wild caught which is going to take its toll on wild populations. Over recent years prices have been increasing for wild fish and availability dropping.
So to see the first lot of Captive Bred Animals in the UK is amazing for the species in the wild but also the fish we keep here in our aquariums.. CB specimens have been raised in aquariums so will be not only more hardy but also tank life is what they know so they don’t need to adjust like their wild counterparts.

We are delighted to say we have 6 instore which are now in our usual quarantine period but all being well will be available for the weekend 🐑 They just need a rest from their journey and to start feeding 🦐πŸͺ±

Want to put your name on one ? Please get in touch for more info 🐑😁

πŸ¦‚πŸ¦‚πŸ¦‚ Happy Birthday baby Scorplings πŸ¦‚πŸ¦‚πŸ¦‚

Always fantastic to see baby animals in store and this just highlights perfectly that even baby scorpions are seriously cute ! ☺️

This Asian Forest Scorpion is being a great mum.. she will protect her offspring on her back for around 2 weeks. They enter the world soft and white and climb straight onto mums back.. couldn’t be much safer there inbetween her huge claws at the front and stinger at the back.. ! Over the course of the 2 weeks their skin hardens and turns the normal black colouration, they are then good to go off and hunt for themselves πŸ¦‚

We think there’s 8 or 9 on her back but there could be 1 or 2 more under the pile.. will start to see more activity over the next few days which will give a clearer idea πŸ™‚

Rough Green snakes are one of my all time favourite snake species and the fact they only come available a few times a year makes them even more special when they arrive here πŸ™‚

They come from the southeastern United States where they can be found in dense bushy habitats often near to water. They are arboreal so try to recreate this when keeping them by providing a tall enclosure with plenty of plant cover and branches to climb.

Diet wise is when these snakes become even more fascinating… they feed on Insects ! We recommend small to medium brown crickets or medium locusts as these will climb into the canopy where the snakes hang out !

5 available.. for more information please get in touch πŸ™‚πŸ’šπŸ

Burmese Brown Tortoise ! AKA the Asian Forest Tortoise

This fantastic Tortoise species is one you don’t see available all that often and they are in fact much more suitable for keeping here in the UK. Due to the habitat from which they come from they are likely the most cold hardy giant tortoise you’ll find. Still active and feeding at temperatures as low as 10c. They don’t hibernate so will need to be brought in for the coldest months. They eat pretty much anything ideally a high fibre diet like with other grazing tortoises but in particular with these they absolutely LOVE mushrooms !

The nesting behaviour of these is really interesting to the female builds a huge nest from leaves, sticks and just about anything they can find. She will even bury herself inside the check humidity and temperature.. 🀯 once she’s happy with her nest she’ll lay up to 80 eggs inside and leave them to incubate. Such a fascinating species that we are delighted to have in store 🐒

We have just a couple of these available so for more information please get in touch πŸ™‚

Lesser Bamboo Rat ! 😍

These seriously strange but incredible cute rodents really do define out of the ordinary ! Meet this 2 year old female lesser bamboo rat affectionately known here as Dorris πŸ™‚

They originate from Asia where they live, as the name would suggest, around bamboo thickets underground feeding on the roots and leaves. They come to the surface to feed before returning to their burrow to sleep and boy they do love a sleep πŸ˜‚ Dorris eats a mixture of things from various root vegetables such as sweet potato, carrot and butternut squash to name a few plus occasional fruit and also a rodent pellet.

She is silly tame and will gladly sit with you and be fed or just for a cuddle. She is available to someone that wants something wildly different to the usual rodents you see as pets.. but that said we’d quite happily keep her.. she’s awesome ! πŸ™‚

(Animal pictured - Lesser Bamboo Rat - Cannomys badius)

**Update to this post**.. Dorris has now sold.. that didn’t take long πŸ˜‚ - for more information on this species or to enquire about ordering one in send us a private message or pop in store πŸ™‚
