Another pick up

These are the snakes we picked up yesterday they are now in quarantine for a week

What a day

27/07/2024

Gorgeous short tail python available for rehoming!
Did have stuck shed but now been removed, waiting on him to shed so won’t be rehomed until he’s got fresh skin but he is out of quarantine now so can take enquiries!

Lovely amazing temperament, he is active and does move and is big so will need a vivarium that is suitably sized. Very deep substrate, very high humidity, enough space to stretch.

These snakes are extremely heavy bodies and they do not hold on, they can’t be handled and held the same way you would with a ball python or boa etc, they have to be completely properly supported and cradled,, they are not scared to let you know when they’re uncomfortable 🤣🤣

Please drop us a message if you think you could provide him with a good, experienced home
💕

Busy week so far

We are at minskip carboot sale tomorrow raising money for the centre it's a afternoon one so you don't need to be up early 😉 we get a lot of new amazon stuff donated to sell so come get a bargain

20/07/2024

We have 6 young Russian dwarf hamsters in at the moment.
They are babies /juvenile but need rehoming separately as they’re unsexed and don’t want any babies happening🤣

If you’re interested in adopting please get in touch. Please also if you are interested have a deep dive into the more recent care of these creatures as a LOT of research has been done and has proven that the mainstream way of caring for these is completely unsuitable and doesn’t allow them to thrive in the slightest.

Thanks !!

She has now been reserved!

Lovely little young lop eared rabbit. Said to be female just over 6 -10 weeks.

Trying to find her a home asap as it’s a lil too warm in our building at the moment so whoever takes her needs to be aware of the quarantine period and keep an eye and not allow her to be in contact with any other pets for a few weeks until vet check has been done.

Please get in touch if interested. Will need a suitable setup

18/07/2024

Polo the retic enjoying some sun whilst his viv gets cleaned !! Come say hi !!

18/07/2024

Can’t believe this gorgeous crestie is still here !!!

He’s a bit skittish but totally beautiful and not bitey at all just doesn’t like being held.
Totally totally beautiful and suitable for most experience levels 😁😁

18/07/2024

Lovely little baby boa!
This one is a littttlllee bit anxious but hasn’t bitten or anything, just typical baby boa temperament.
Absolutely gorgeous and totally handleable will just need a bit of work and socialization

Let us know if you’re interested

18/07/2024

Beautiful huge female boa we have in!! She is a bit fat 🤣 but very muscular too,,, with a nice big enriching enclosure and space to climb a little she will lose the weight nicely !

Let us know if you’re interested

Animals in today

30/06/2024

We have sooooo many awesome beginner friendly animals available at the moment! Rehoming list to come! Wondering if you guys would appreciate if we put “beginner/intermediate/experienced” onto our rehoming lists to help you see what animals are available within your experience level?
Let us know in the comments if this would be helpful!

Leopard geckos, crested geckos, bearded dragons, tortoises, corn snakes and royal pythons are all super well known for being amazing beginner animals! So if you’re looking for a first reptile, family pet or something near enough fail proof,,, these are the ones for you!

We have lots of variety with age and size and colour of these animals and lots of variety with personalities! Whether you’re looking for a chill animal or a super active one we will have one for you!!

We totally understand that research is difficult and reliable sources are hidden gems with a lot of google results being unreliable or out dated,, so if the research list is looming over you and causing confusion please don’t hesitate to drop us a message! We can always send helpful resources, direct you to the best knowledgable communities and up to date care guides!

Please get in touch if you’re wanting to explore beginner species!

Thank you!! 🐍

(Click the photos to see a description about the species!) (please note tortoise photographed is no longer available but we do have them in I just don’t have up to date pics yet)

Pics from the weekend featuring some of our beautiful scaleys!!!

The retic is Marco,, our biggest member of the centre at the moment surpassing a whopping 10ft with an estimated 14-16ft length! (They usually don’t cooperate with measuring so just a guess).

Our gorgeous but skittish crested gecko who had his enclosure gutted and redecorated after he had a nice big feed of baby dubia roaches and crestie diet!

And lastly some close ups of that amazing iridescence that really shines on Marco,, can’t wait to see that in natural light when it gets sunnier again(if ever)🤣

These two are both available for adoption as we speak!
I’m so shocked that Zack the crestie is still here! He’s super stunning, might take him for myself at this rate so if you want him you better get in quickly LOL.

Please get in contact with us via messenger if you’re interested in either of these cool creatures. Please remember all pets require some level of specialised care but do not fear,,, we are always here to help and advise, so if caring for a reptile seems a bit intimidating we are happy to help you decode all the misleading or complex reptile related jargon! 🤣💪🏻💕

Thanks for the support as always!!

Hi guys!!! We have loadsssss of amazing animals in at the moment!

Stuff perfect for beginners and some that are more of a challenge !!
We have loads of variety at the moment and a lot to choose from.

We get a lot of people who come in and immediately they think that the animals here have tragic back stories and the reality is that usually that isn’t the case!
The majority of animals we get in have been cared for wonderfully before being surrendered due to life circumstances changing.
Most of what we get in is top quality, however if you are looking for something a bit wonky and unique we definitely have a fair share of weird and wonderful individuals perfect for whatever you’re looking for in a pet!!

If all you need is a cute companion or a long term pet,, then there’s no need for fancy morphs ,,,, rescues really do have all the hidden gems! Please come to us and have a look.

Thank you!!

Drop us a message if any take your fancy

22/06/2024

Beautiful golden child retic. He is super friendly and handleable and his colours are stunninggggg!! Will try get him out in the natural sunlight today and get better pics !!

These guys require snake experience at the highest level, if you haven’t dealt with anything bigger than a boa then I’m sorry but you’re not the one for a retic 🤣🤣

Lovely guy, super cool, let’s find him a home that’s equally as lovely and cool!!

Thanks !!

22/06/2024

We still have two lovely little healthy baby beardies!
These guys are so tiny and cute, reasonably handleable but VERY FAST.
We actually don’t usually reccomend babies for new keepers or young keepers but they are great for those of you who have fast reflexes🤣🤣
Let us know if you’re interested !!

22/06/2024

Lovely crestie still here! Can’t believe he’s not gone yet!!

Let us know if you’re interested in adopting

22/06/2024

Lovely little baby Nile monitor!
We believe this dude to be a little boy but haven’t had chance to properly assess 🤣 he is a great eater, is very shy but coming out of his shell quickly.
He loves to climb, bask and explore. And he will eat F/T mice and live insects !

This is an amazing adorable lizard and even though he is a bit nervous at his young age he will be very manageable!
That being said.. this lizard usually maxes out at 5ft but they have been known to reach 7 and even upwards… their average life expectancy in captivity is 10-20 years … and in the wild their diet consists of fish, frogs, insects, rodents, crabs, birds and their eggs, and even other reptiles like lizards and snakes.

Before messaging us about this adorable little creature please think about the future. Can you afford to mimic their natural varied diet? Can you house him in a 15ft zoo-like enclosure when he reaches full size? Can you accommodate him for the whole of his potential 10+ years? Can you manage the natural food response and temperament once he reaches full size?

If you think that you have the correct circumstance and experience to take this little guy home please get in contact via messenger!
He will be a LOT of work but he’s an amazing animal and will make an amazing pet for the right person!!

22/06/2024

Beautiful and huge Mary the female boa constrictor.
Mary is about 6-7ft long but very very muscular and thick 🤣
She is a gorgeous boa and has some impressive size on her however she is not the best in social situations to say the least😅
Her attitude would require someone experienced with large defensive snakes and she will need a big enclosure.
We can’t imagine she will leave us anytime soon, even though she’s now reached a year with us,,, however, we will keep trying !!
She is so so beautiful and her pattern and colours are stunning and her size is a statement, she would make an amazing pet for the right person who would be willing to put the effort in to give her a good second chance.

Please give us a ring or message on here if you’re interested,, serious enquiries only please,,, this is not the type of snake that will allow herself to be disrespected 🤣🤣

Thank you !

We just wanted to put up a notice as we’re having a problem with people returning animals at the moment.
On the adoption paperwork that you sign we have terms and conditions, these state clearly that if you adopt an animal from us and there is a problem you will get a full refund and will be able to return the animal. However, if the case is that you have simply changed your mind or anything where it is not the fault of the animal or us… you will not be entitled to a refund.
This also states that if there is a problem it has to be brought up within 48 hours to prevent us from getting the blame for issues an animal has after leaving our control(certain circumstances may permit exceptions).
When we adopt an animal out we require photo evidence of setup, we also have you give the setup specifications which is written in the paperwork,, if your setup is not suitable you won’t get a refund if it is not what you showed us or what you specified.

We will ALWAYS take an animal back no matter the circumstance but we will only offer refunds for genuine reasons.

I will insert a photo of the terms and conditions here, please read it.

You MUST know the basic temps your animal needs. You MUST know the wattage and % of UVB and heat emitters. you MUST know temp gradient and humidity requirements. And you MUST show these in photos and list them correctly and accurately on the paperwork.

We understand circumstances change quickly and that sometimes it’s easy to pay and not notice the flaws until later on, it happens to the best of us but we are trying to give animals a second chance at a good life, we will never judge you for your decision no matter what but we cannot allow our animals and our services to be taken for granted.

Thank you so much for those of you who support us and provide our animals with the highest level of care. We appreciate every single person who supports and adopts from us,
We hope you all understand our reasonings and frustrations behind this situation.

Thank you for reading if you did get this far 😊

Bed race day

Morning

We still have mum and one baby left!! These are pastel enchi morph ball pythons and though baby looks very normal at the moment be will mature a lovely golden brown 😊 Mum is an absolute softie and is in beautiful condition, she does have some slight scale damage on her belly but is healing well. We now only have one unsexed baby left. like any baby it can be nervous and a bit huffy and they have a super strong food response but as soon as they realise you’re not food or threat they’re awesome 🤣 Both are eating amazingly and shedding as they should! Baby is packing on the weight feeding weekly!! The baby we can provide a small temp hatchling setup for but this would need upgrading in future and we would prefer if people already have those upgrades available for when they’re necessary but not the end of the world if not 😊 Thank you!!
