The shop is CLOSED today (Friday) due to staff sickness 🤒

07/02/2025

One of my current pet hates about the reptile keeping community are militant elitist community Facebook groups that make broad ill informed statements about reptile shops ‘only interested in money’. I can emphatically inform you that the majority of independent specialist reptile centres are NOT only interested in money. Quite the contrary. As fully licensed shop owners we are very much all about the welfare of the animals being sold. We are fully accountable and we are fully licensed (unlike 99% of private ‘breeders’).
My facilities are fully inspectable by any member of the public during all opening times.

I’m getting a little irritated by certain Facebook groups tarring all shops with the same brush. Telling new group members to go down to their local hardware store to buy unregulated, untested, cheap substrates for tortoises, which in my experience often contain glass fragments and plastic fragments. But alas, we specialist reptile centre owners are slighted as only interested in your money.

I’d be quite interested to see photographic evidence of these self proclaimed foragers leading by example and foraging for weeds in the depths of our British winter.

Not all specialist, family run, fully licensed and accountable reptile pet shops are out to ‘steal’ your money. Many of us are offering healthy locally bred and fully certified tortoises for sale to only the very best homes.

Please don’t tar us all with the same brush.

A huge thank you to the brilliant Oake Meadows Care Home for inviting us to bring our reptiles to visit the residents yesterday. It was an honour to meet the residents and share my passion for reptiles with them. The highlight for me was showing a baby tortoise to a lady who is 101 years old. The smile on her face and tear in her eye was an absolute joy. I can’t wait to come back and see you all again in the summer. Thank you so much Hannah for inviting us.

🦎 Phelsuma (rhymes with satsuma 🍊) is the name given to the family of geckos that are commonly known as Day Geckos due to them being active in the daytime. Most other geckos such as Crested Geckos and Leopard Geckos are likely to be sleeping during the daytime and are most active at dawn and dusk, what is known as crepuscular.
The Madagascar Giant Day Gecko (Phelsuma grandis) is a large species of day gecko typically reaching lengths of 12 inches. They are bold and are brightly coloured and make mesmerising inhabitants of a bioactive enclosure, provided with full spectrum LED lighting, UVB and a thermostatically controlled halogen basking spot lamp.

We are OPEN today Tuesday 12-6pm, although the roads into Ilton are mostly flooded. The only way I’ve found clear today is coming into Ilton through Rapps from the A358. I’ve got a good selection of livefoods and am generally well stocked today, however I’d advise you to only travel to Phelsuma Farm if you really need food or supplies for your animals. I’m closed tomorrow (Wednesday) as usual but I’ll be back open on Thursday 30th January with this weeks delivery of live food, frozen food and all your usual favourite reptile and exotic pet supplies. Take care everyone.
