Adopting
If you are looking to adopt a new pet, our team are here to help. We can help with advice on care, set ups and help to find a perfect new addition to your family.
We ensure the new owners are fully aware of the correct temperatures, dietary needs, environment and other aspects of care before allowing them to have responsibility for the reptile.
We do sell complete full set ups. Our set ups come with a second hand (in great condition) vivarium with all new electrical equipment and decor. We can also do complete new set ups with a (new) vivarium, new electrical equipment and decor.
All of our set ups will come as 'Plug and Play'. We will run through how everything in the enclosure works so all you need to do is take it home and plug it in ready for your new pet.

Finding a Reptile a New Home:
We ensure the new owners are fully aware of the correct temperatures, dietary needs, environment and other aspects of care before allowing them to have responsibility for the reptile.
We can sometimes provide a fully set up second hand vivarium for the particular species of reptile if we have a spare, if we do not then we offer extensive advice on possible places to buy the vivarium, what size vivarium and what heating and lighting equipment will be needed.
If you have any questions about reptile care or husbandry just send an email and we will respond as soon as we can with any advice we can offer or sign posting to others.
Our heartbreak rescues
Green Iguana "Precious"
Photo: Day 1 Of Rescue
One of the heart break rescues; Precious was under weight and dehydrated with metabolic bone disease (MBD), seven layers of dead skin dried over her body and missing most of her spines. Decaying food had been left to rot away her nose which had eaten away her flesh.
She could not feed herself, could barely walk and only in an unbalanced circle.
Green Iguana "Precious"
Photo: 30 days after Rescue
Four times a day we bathed her to help remove the dead skin built up on her body, while syringing water, blended food and calcium water in to her mouth to help hydrate and give her energy.
She began to climb and would sit on Tom's shoulder as he cleaned and changed the other reptile water bowls.
Sadly the damage to her body only allowed her six months to share life with us:
We educate, promote understanding and caring as we feel Precious in reptiles.
