We have been keeping exotics for a number of years and have gathered a wealth of knowledge and experience. We keep several species here including a variety of snakes, lizards, amphibians, chelonia and invertebrates. Aside from our love of the cold blooded we also have a soft spot for furries! We have 3 house cats and Rico our chihuahua! ENTERTAINMENT SERVICES
We are fully licensed (ANI/8594) and i

nsured to take our animals out to meet and greet, both at public events and private functions! We are available for any function, from birthday and private parties to scout troop and school talks! We can bring a variety of animals (all of which can be handled) including snakes, lizards, amphibians and inverts to our events and we pride ourselves on giving the best experience we can. If you are interested in booking us, or would like any further information about this service please feel free to get in touch. REHOMING
We take in many animals here which arrive for a number of reasons. Many of which require veterinary treatment as well as space, housing, feeding, cleaning and general care and attention. Animals left with us will be rehomed once we are happy with their condition (NEVER before, no exceptions) We will always put a small rehoming fee on them to help us continue to operate. AVAILABILITY
Our current availability list will always be pinned to the top of our page. We will not rehome any animal that isn't ready for its new home and we reserve the right to halt adoptions at any time if for any reason we become unhappy with the condition. We would much rather keep an animal then let it go before it's ready. Any animal will have spent a minimum of 4 weeks with us. REPTILE SITTING
We also offer an in house pet sitting service. If you have a number of animals and boarding simply isn't an option, we can offer to look after your pets in your own home! Rates for this service are dependant on distance/ job description so feel free to message us with what you'd like us to do and we can quote you a price. Prices are negotiable for this service. We obviously specialise in reptiles but we're more than happy to look after any animals you may have. From dogs and cats to small furries and birds. HELP & ASSISTANCE
We're more than happy to share our knowledge and advise where we can. We can also take in or even temporarily board snakes with minor health issues, non-feeders or aggressive snakes to try and get them back on track (veterinary and food costs as well as a small contribution to our cause will need to be met by owner in the case of temporary boarding). We have a very high success rate for finding the feed response in the most stubborn of snakes! We also have an incredible reptile vet who shows a great love and passion for the animals. CAN YOU HELP? Yes! If you would like to help us continue our work. We are always grateful for any donations. Whether it be enclosures or equipment that you may have spare, or our PayPal is set up to [email protected]. All donations go directly to the rehome and rescue animals we have here :)

REVIEWS
We are always very pleased to hear of your experiences with us. Any feedback on how we can improve our service is always very much appreciated! There is a review section to our page which we are very proud of. If you have had an experience with us, feel free to leave your thoughts there for others to read :)

Feel free to message us anytime :)
Viewings of our animals are happily organised on request. Matt & Jade x

This beautiful Bearded Dragon has just found its way to us.

18 months old and other than needing a claw trim, he is in good health. The photos really don't do the reds on this guy justice at all. He's a particularly striking chap!

He's in now and settling in to his quarantine enclosure here. Hopefully, he'll settle quickly and give us no trouble :)

Both Pacman Frogs had an enclosure turnover and a health check today. Both are feeding well, looking good, and set to pass quarantine this week!

The Albino is available and looking for an onward home. The other has a home lined up already :)

Side note: When deciding to give your bullfrog a soak too, get a bigger 'bath'

Both Moorish Geckos have settled into captivity well.

The first is able to leave for its new home. The second is right on course to pass quarantine with no issues at all.

Both are in excellent health and awesome little Geckos!

Please message the page if you would like more information.

Today's arrival. This beautiful 17 year old Corn Snake.

She's a lovely girl. Incredibly calm and in excellent health. She is now settling in to her quarantine setup here, and all going well will be looking for a new onward home next month.

This Leopard Gecko now weighs a whopping 62.5g! :)

On arrival, this poor thing was unfortunately completely emaciated due to neglect. (Last picture was on arrival with us after it had been taken in and cleaned up)
It is doing very well, although it still needs a little time with us for its mouth to fully heal. Hopefully, at some point, we'll be happy enough for it to go to a new home.
It will need an incredibly caring and attentive home eventually. For now, it's still welcome here :)

It's been a very positive journey :)

We have an opportunity to find homes for these two beautiful lizards.

We have two young Gran Canaria Skinks here, which are looking for their new homes.

They are both active, feeding well, and in excellent health. They love basking, and although quick and not really handleable, they aren't particularly shy.

They were produced by my cousin (adults are in the last picture) and have been with us for the last few months. We have now been given the OK to find them new onward homes.

If you are interested in taking on one of these amazing animals, please message the page. Proof of suitable enclosure, including heating, lighting, and thermostat, will be required prior to rehome. :)

Both Pacman Frogs are feeding well and showing no signs of any concerns/issues :)

They are due to pass quarantine on February 20th, and at the moment, we see no reason to think they won't.

Second successful feeds today for these two Royals. :)

They are now halfway through their quarantine period with us, and as we have no concerns about either snake, we are happy to line up their onward homes ready for when they are able to leave :)

Picture 1 is a White Bamboo *RESERVED*
Picture 2 is a Leopard Lemonblast.
Both are in good health and handle without any problems.

If you are interested in taking on this species, please give us a message. Proof of suitable setup including heating and thermostat will be required prior to rehome. No exceptions.

Absolutely no breeding homes for this species!!

Currently available for rehome we have.

The cutest Leopard Gecko ever.

A stunning Gargoyle Gecko.

An adorable Moorish Gecko.

All three are healthy and feeding well :)

Next to pass quarantine (but not for a few weeks), we have 2 Royal Pythons. We will line homes up for these two once they've had their second feeds here.

In quarantine:
2 Pacman Frogs, both doing well
1 Moorish Gecko expected to pass no issues.
1 Leopard Gecko. Came in emaciated, will be ready once we're happy.

Please give us a message if we can be of any assistance :)

The first of the Moorish Geckos to find its way to us is now ready to go to its new home. It's a lovely little Gecko but very quick. It came into the country on a shipment of pallets from Spain, but has settled in well to captive life and is feeding well.

As always, proof of a suitable setup will be required prior to rehome. Please give us a message if you have any questions.

Both Pacman Frogs seem to be rehydrated and have returned to the surface of their substrate. Both are now confirmed feeding, too, which is excellent.
As they both came to us being non feeders, we now know their lack of appetite was down to incorrect conditions. We'll give it another week, and if they continue to feed well, we won't have any concerns about either one passing quarantine :)

Feeding nicely and very friendly :) Perfect.

Quail eggs make an awesome treat for a number of species, either hard boiled or raw :) The 5 Red Footed Tortoises with us all love them. However, the little one is by far easiest to get a decent video of! We have quail eggs available either by the dozen or half dozen. They are £5 and £3 respectively. They can be posted via Tracked24 to guarantee next day delivery for £5 for up to two dozen. Please give the page a message if you would like any. We are happy to transport down to Codicote on any of our planned trips to Hertfordshire for collection from there.

Weekend breakfast :)

Helping Reuben understand how to eat a treat.

I would like to formally apologise to my tortoises for getting in their way during clean outs.

Meet Joseph Starling. Young Joseph here has been with us from an early age and is now having outside time to get him used to the sights and sounds of garden life. However, it seems he's not quite ready to go just yet. Which would be fine, if he stopped pecking my face and pooping on all my earthly possessions.

Morning mist!
