Great to see our Mint Terribilis Poison Dart Frogs mature colours coming through!

As juveniles, these guys have a dark green/ black colouration which brightens as they reach maturity until eventually they are a minty white colour all over.

💡 Fun Fact: Yemen chameleons have a casque (a helmet-like structure) on their head. It’s not just for show – it helps them collect and direct water droplets into their mouths in dry environments.

This is our Yellow Neonate Green Tree Python. These are an arboreal snake native to New Guinea, Indonesia, and parts of Australia. Known for their vibrant green colouration, which provides excellent camouflage among the foliage, they are nocturnal predators primarily feeding on small mammals and birds.

The best starter reptile? 🦎

Believe it or not, these aren't Bearded Dragons! These two are Rankins Dragons, they are both from Australia, just different regions. Rankins Dragons have almost identical care to the Bearded Dragon and so make equally as good starter reptiles.

So what sets them apart?

Longevity - Beardies can live 15+ years, while Rankins live around 8-10.
Size - Bearded Dragons grow up to 50cm, Rankins are smaller, growing to around 30cm.

With Christmas around the corner, you might be considering getting the kids their first pet, don't jump straight for the Beardie, take some time to consider their cousin which can often be left out of the mix...

Should you hibernate your Tortoise? 🐢

Hibernation is only suitable for species which would be exposed to low temperatures naturally. Most Mediterranean Tortoises are suitable.
If your Tortoise has had previous health issues, do not hibernate them.
If you are unsure if they have eaten enough to keep them going through the hibernation period, do not hibernate them.

Pros for hibernation ✅

Hibernation mimics their natural behaviour which allows their hormones to regulate as they would naturally.
Hibernation can benefit tortoise's reproductive health and behaviours.
Hibernation encourages natural eating cycles and reduces the risk of obesity.

Hibernation is a personal decision and depends on individual factors like species, health and their environment.

It is always a good idea to consult your vet before making the decision to hibernate your tortoise.

Record keeping is the best way to keep track of your reptile's health.
By making note of what you are feeding and when, the weight of the animal as well as temperatures and UV exposure you can be on top of any changes that may cause concern. You could also take this along info to vet trips so they can have an insight into how they are being cared for or even if you're on holiday and someone needs to pet sit!

Feel free to screenshot and use this for your Bearded Dragons! 🦎❤
