Floki joined us just 1 week ago. He was a much loved pet but unfortunately this guy has had some issues recently, which is why he's now a permanent resident with us.

Here he is enjoying a Locust dusted with Repta-Vive by Pets2Wholesale.
This is a fantastic product that has absolutely helped this little guy with gaining back the nutrients and energy he needed!
This is also added to his water to increase hydration and seems to encourage him to drink.

If you would like to try this and many other products, we highly recommend reaching out to Gryffindor-Reptiles.

Rarely get the chance to be close enough for pictures of Timothy.

He’s grown so much in the past year, from being able to sit on the tip of my thumb to where he’s now half the size of my palm.

Does anyone else have turtles?
Feel free to share photos! 😁

*Not for rehoming.

** Direct Rehome **

3 x Turtles looking for a home.
Available with full set-up - unsure what exactly this includes as we do not have them.
Based in Cromer, Norfolk and is collection only.

Please message the page if you are interested and will put you in contact with the owner.

Thank you.

While not related to Reptiles, we do have some Betta fish looking for new homes.
These are avatar/galaxy plakats (short fins).
Have a number of males, most are a solid blue.

Feel free to PM for more details. Will rehome to shops too.

But on another note, it is almost 1 month since collecting the Geckos that have been previously posted. Some are ready to find their new homes! Next week, there will be a post made of each
Gecko. You will be able to apply for adoption on these posts :)

Sad news 😭

Unfortunately, the Leopard Gecko in the worst condition has passed away.

While they are cleared for parasites, it does seem that this one was just to far gone and it’s still unclear if the other equally skinny Gecko will make it.

The other Leopard Geckos all seem to be doing well, very active and more then happy to chow down.
The Crested Geckos also seem completely fine.

None yet can be rehomed as they’ve still got a way to go. But will be updating here.

Over the next few days/weeks, the Leopard Geckos will be receiving their own posts with pictures and updates.
These posts will also be updated when they’re ready for new, loving homes ❤️

Didn’t need this today.
Thanks Mr Tegu 😬

12/02/2024

Today has been something else.
Even though we’re closed, this isn’t something that could be turned down.
These two are the worst from a group collected who were living with other Leopard Geckos and Crested Geckos.
Yes, both species were forced to live together.
Over the next few days, I’ll try to upload a post on each gecko. That way you can all see their development.

Now I don’t want to be a beggar but I wanted to put out a post asking for some help with the care for these guys. Because it’s going to take a lot of TLC to help them all.
Below is a link to the page for Amazon wish lists, I’d like to ask for donations of food. That way you know everything is going straight to the animals.

https://www.hopefulexotics.co.uk/donate

If anyone would be willing to donate a monetary amount, that would be hugely appreciated. I’ve had to pay a good sum today to get these out of that situation especially with an almost 8 hour round trip 😬 if this is something you’d be willing to help with, please PM the page and I can give account details. More than happy to provide receipts of cash withdrawal and the fuel receipt too.

Many thanks.

Hello everyone,
I just want to apologise for the delays in replying to people.
Currently, I’m a 1 person team and it’s been insanely busy over here 😂

Spending a good amount of time changing rooms about just to make things a little more organised.

Hoping to get back to posting on the regular again. Especially once everything is done!

Will have used/excess equipment available very soon too.
Also have Axolotls, Musk Turtles and a Cumberland Slider looking for homes 😊

(Ps, meet Goob 😂)

Another little pair of Musk Turtles collected today.
Looking good and once passed quarantine, we’re hoping to add them to our baby tank.
We are now full for musk turtles now :)

02/10/2023

If you follow us on TikTok, then you might know that the little clutch of eggs began to hatch a couple of days ago.
Most of them are now out, still waiting on just 4 eggs.
But look at this little baby pile ❤️

Been a little while since having a spider morph around.

For those that don’t know, this morph often has serious neurological issues. This one is no exception unfortunately.

Cool head stamp however.

** Rehoming List **

It's that time again where we've got some animals ready for their forever homes.

Ready now:
- 2 Axolotls
- 2 Adult Horsefield Tortoises (cannot be housed together due to the behaviour of 1)
- 1 Musk Turtle
- 1 River Cooter
- 2 Goldfish

Ready in a few weeks:
- 2 Baby Royal Pythons
- 4 Adult Bearded Dragons

There is a fee for each rehomed with us, enclosures are available at an additional fee but this must be paid upfront so it can be ordered in. But will be set up and ready to go.

If being rehomed without an enclosure, you must provide proof of your own enclosure.

We're based in Peterborough but are happy to deliver locally. Also more then happy to arrange a courier for UK wide delivery.

25/09/2023

How cool are these little guys? 😱
These are Blue Death Feigning Beetles.

We’d love to see what Inverts you have!

Snake Reptile Rack - £150.

Holds 6 x 50L RUBS (these are included, these are all lidless).

No heating or electrics.

Heat mats and thermostat can be included for an additional £50.

Made from white veneer, has general wear and tear. But in great condition.

Very solid and sturdy rack. Only selling as has been replaced with vivariums.

This can be flat packed too, makes it a bit easier to move as it’s over 5ft tall and heavy.

Delivery might be possible, only if fuel is covered for the round trip.
Otherwise, collection is Peterborough.

Massive thanks to Hillside Exotics for a gorgeous trio of female Banana G-Stripes and a male Banana Pied.
Will show them later on but here’s the first 🙂

Did anyone else go to the IHS Reptile Expo?
If so, what did you get? Would love to see 😁

* Quick little announcement *

Wanted to make a public post as have gotten a few emails and messages recently.

Currently, we cannot take any work experience/volunteers or even offer some form of employment. This does include visitors wanting to meet animals and see if they want one.

We’re just a group of people who run everything from home 😂

However, something is being planned but nothing is set in stone just yet.

Many thanks!

02/09/2023

Currently eight animals are ready for adoption with more to join them soon. In October Thatch and Ted will have been with us for one year.

Back to the wild you go ❤️

This just shows how tiny the little guy is.

Asked to help out with a snake who made it into an Australian shipment.

Being quite concerned what it could be I rushed over.

Isn’t he adorable? 😂

Just a little UK native Grass Snake, but honestly that’s the best case scenario.

Massive thanks to the staff at the URBN warehouse for being so friendly and also enjoying a laugh. The picture definitely made him look bigger 😂 he’s 3 inches at most.

Being released into a local nature reserve in just a moment.
