HOME FOUND :)

We've had a little interest but still have not found a home for this gorgeous Pleco! I think it would be best suited to tanks 300L+

If you believe it would make a good addition to your tank, please let us know :)

27/08/2024

Still no luck in locating the true home of the Snake we recovered from a local garden in West Walton. I am going to reveal it to be this young Corn Snake.

We will give it until the end of September, but then we will have to find a new onward home. Rehoming Corn Snakes seems to be very difficult at the moment. We have three that are here waiting for their new homes. If it is a species you are interested in keeping, please get in touch with us :)

26/08/2024

The last two Musk Turtles were finally rehomed today out of the Turtle pond 😀
The only resident is now a big Pleco that we've been looking for a home for with no luck at present.

If you have a large fish tank and would like to take it on, please let us know :)

25/08/2024

We have this adult male Crested Gecko looking for his new home :)

He's a lovely boy, age is unknown, but he is at least 6. Feeds and sheds well and handles without any problems.

Proof of suitable setup will be required prior to rehome. Any questions please ask us :)

22/08/2024

This Snake has been a Royal (Ha!) pain in the bum!
However, it is finally consistently feeding, so we are tentatively looking for its new onward home. It still needs to take its next couple of feeds before it is ready. It generally is in good health and shed this morning without any problems.

It will only eat Multis.

If you are interested in potentially taking this beauty on, please get in touch. No breeding homes, please!

Noted. Thank you.

14/08/2024

Oh no! A redfoot.

This beautiful little tortoise arrived with us this afternoon. It is a little underweight and has a few patches of shell rot on its underside. Most likely, due to its setup being too damp.

It is currently getting some sunshine while we prepare it a quarantine setup. It will need to be kept separate from my herd due to the shell condition being contagious as well as it being far too small.

I will update how it is getting on as it goes forward.

Welcome, wee one.

13/08/2024

Time for the tortoises to devastate a different part of the garden for a while.

13/08/2024

I am back from my weekend away :) I had an amazing time in a field with my fellow metalheads!

Home again now, though, and it is business as usual! We are still in need of homes for:

3× Corn Snakes
1× Musk Turtle
2× Lasiodora Parahybana
1× Crested Gecko

Remember to check on all your temperatures in this hot weather. Even stated enclosures can overheat and too hot is just as bad for your animals as too cold.

Take care all.

09/08/2024

I will not be contactable this weekend. Due to coming down with a terrible case of Heavy Metal!

If you're at Bloodstock. Buy me a beer and get a free lizard anecdote.

Have a good weekend, everybody. I'll catch up with messages on Monday!

We received our frozen snake food order today and would like to thank everyone who donated to our fundraiser. Due to all your kindness, the expense of feeding our rescue snakes for a good while has not hit us at all :)
This takes away some of the stresses we have and makes us able to continue what we do without having to worry (too much)

I'll leave the fundraiser open for another couple of days. If you would like to contribute to our efforts, it means the world to us. Every penny goes towards the animals that find their way to us. We currently have 13 rehome animals in our care.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We are very close to our fundraising goal! If you are able to pop a small donation on, it would mean the world to us :) This is the last time I'll share this fundraiser before placing the order today.

As a lot of you are aware at the start of the year I decided to step away from taking in so many animals. Funding being one of the main reasons. However, it seems that when people message me for help, I am incapable of saying no. When big expenses like this snake food order come up it is very humbling when people help us, its makes running possible.

Thank you everyone, from our family :) x

Our current rehome availability!

2× Musk Turtle
1× White Lipped Mud Turtle
2× Lasiodora Parahybana
2× Amelanistic Corn Snake
1× Snow Corn Snake
1× Crested Gecko

All three turtles are adults and in excellent health and are bold and active :)

We have one juvenile and one adult Lasiodora Parahybana (Salmon Pink Bird Eating Tarantula) with us. Both are feeding well, and the juvenile has just finished a moult with no issues whatsoever :)

The first pictured Amel (red and white) Corn Snake has a flat spot on its top third, which doesn't impede its day to day at all. It feeds well and handles ok.

The second pictured Amel is very flighty and not really handleable but is in perfect health and feeds/sheds well.

The last Corn is the juvenile Snow, it is in excellent health, feeds and sheds well, and is overall a perfect snake :)

The Crested Gecko is an adult male. It is excellent health and is handleable :)

Please give the page a message if any of these animals interest you. They all deserve to go to their new permanent homes :) Proof of suitable setup will be required prior to rehome. No breeding homes, please.

I would like to extend our warmest thanks to Little Fish Aquatics UK near Snettisham for their very generous donation to our rescue today :)

They dropped off well over £300 RRP worth of equipment to us to either use ourselves or add to our funding sale.

Here is their page link. They are a lovely shop well worth a look in.

https://www.facebook.com/LFAUK2022

We do not recieve donations like this very often and it is incredibly gratefully received. We are overwhelmed with the generosity and its amazing when people think of us :)

We are also getting a very touching response to our Justgiving page to help feed all the snakes we have here.

Here is the link if you'd like to help!

From all of us, thank you so much!

Hi everyone!
It is that time again when we are placing an order to Ridgeway Frozen to feed all the many rescue snakes that find their way here.

If you are able to help, no matter how little, it means the absolute world to us. Any assistance is gratefully appreciated.

We have set up a justgiving page to show the progress of the fundraiser. You are welcome to share it 😊 Alternatively, if you would like to contribute, the rescues PayPal is set up to [email protected]

Our family is incredibly grateful for your ongoing support :)
