Due to no fault of his own Lennie the beautiful Royal Python is looking for his forever home again!

Royal Pythons are one of the best pet Reptiles and Lennie is no exception, he’s such a friendly Snake and will make an amazing pet for the right person/ family. He comes with his fully set up Vivarium kit too 😁

If you’re interested in Lennie and believe he may be the right fit for you then please contact us and we can discuss further!

We currently have two beautiful and rare New Guinea Forest Dragons available!

This gorgeous living dinosaur of a species isn’t for the complete novice keeper as they are wild caught and therefore knowledge of continuing their acclimation process must be possessed to ensure they continue to thrive moving forward.

That being said they’re seriously incredible lizards, the shop we got them from did a lot of work with their socialisation and they are a joy to keep!

They will be available for the right person to purchase with their current, fully set up vivarium 😁

Behold the Black Tailed Cribo. A treasure amongst all Snakes and a pure example of a living gem!
Drymarchon is a genus of Snakes unlike any other I’ve personally shared space with before they are one of a kind, extremely unique in many ways and a joy to keep. The word Drymarchon translates to “rulers of the forest” and they certainly live up to that!

Freyja our gorgeous female is no exception to this and one of you may be very lucky to experience her if you wish to. She is available to the right person if someone is interested, these Snakes aren’t for everyone though. They use sheer force and power whilst feeding and do not constrict their prey, don’t like it too hot and they express many behaviours which I’ve never seen in other species we keep and are very active meaning they require a spacious environment to truly thrive.

She is currently housed in a 5x2x2 Vivarium which will be available with her if someone does decide they’d like to keep this extraordinary species but in the future an upgrade may be necessary if she exceeds 5ft in length! Even better if you’ve already got a larger vivarium ready at home 😁👌🏼

I have so much love for this species and genus, they are incredible, also incredibly rare here. They’re a higher end Snake so carry a high value but are without a doubt worth every penny and more.

If you have any questions about Freyja or believe she may be a great fit for you please don’t hesitate to contact us for further information!

(If she doesn’t find a new home I certainly won’t be disappointed 🤣)

***Both now found amazing homes***

Leopard Geckos, much loved by many people and for good reason. One of our personal favourite species here and by far one of the best choices as a pet Lizard!

We currently have 2 beautiful adult females looking for their forever home and I hope that we can find them their new family’s in time for Christmas 🤞🏻

Lizzy is a lovely wild type, around 9 years old. Freya is a hypo morph and she’s 7 years old!

These beauties will both be available with their current vivarium set ups, fully kitted out and ready to go 👌🏼 If you’re interested in buying either of these Geckos please don’t hesitate to contact me and we can discuss further details and requirements 😁

With Christmas fast approaching we are more than happy to hold onto animals purchased especially for the big day, until nearer the time!

If you’re interested in an animal that you see available here and would like us to organise a Vivarium Kit now is definitely the best opportunity to get in touch so there’s plenty of time for us to organise everything for you 😁

We have lots to offer currently so I hope you find something you like!

Well to say we’ve been very quiet for a while would be an understatement but we are back and ready to post more on our social media platforms again. It’s been a crazy time between September and now, some overwhelmingly good and some unimaginably bad but overall I’m very excited for the future after an uncertain couple of months and in that time a lot of progress has actually been made!

-Exciting new additions! 😍

-Animals ready to find new homes through our very successful rehoming service!

-Several species preparing for another hibernation!

-Plenty of unique, first to Jersey species’, now available!

-Educational experience slots ready to be reserved!

-New projects which we will announce in the coming months that will help propel this community in the right direction, hinted at in the last two photos! 👀

Despite being a very niche business on a small island I have high hopes that through all the slow, quiet times we have experienced we can still build an empire and grow this unique business in many ways to a really great degree. We’re very thankful for all of the support and we hope to see many new faces over the coming months 👌🏼

We’ve just had this beautiful Californian King Snake, Morphin brought to us. Morphin is roughly 3 years old and in need of a new home due to no fault of his own!

He’s a typical King Snake, very motivated by movement as they think everything is food so ideally his new owner will be aware of basic Snake behaviour and know how to manage him properly.

If you’re interested in offering a home to this stunning boy please contact us and we can discuss his requirements with you 🙂

He will come with a suitable Vivarium Kit if needed!

Just a heads up that I’ll be away for the next week or so.

Any messages, emails and calls will be dealt with once I’m back and all the animals will be well taken care of whilst we’re away!
There will even be some new faces here when we return, exciting times ahead 😁

Thanks to .ts we now have this gorgeous adult female Psalmopoeus Reduncus (Costa Rican Orangemouth Tarantula) here. The end goal is to keep a select handful of species in beautiful display style enclosures for you to all see when you visit us and Psalmopoeus are by far my favourites to keep and observe 😁

Such a great experience seeing such a beautiful animal go through their Ontogenetic Colour Change so fast, absolutely obsessed with Bumblebee! 😍

King Rat Snakes are awesome, especially tame ones 😂👌🏼

16/08/2024

Another great socialisation session with our 2 pretty Pythons! Short positive interactions like this are key to build any Animal’s trust and confidence overtime to ensure they become amazing ambassadors, it can take time but the time and effort is well worth it ☺️
