๐Ÿ๐Ÿค Meet this absolutely stunning Blue Eyed Leucistic Royal Python ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ

With her pure white colouring and those incredible icy-blue eyes, sheโ€™s definitely not short on personality โ€” but thereโ€™s just one problemโ€ฆ

She doesnโ€™t have a name yet! ๐Ÿ˜ญ

So we need your help! ๐Ÿ‘‡
What would you name this beautiful girl? Drop your suggestions in the comments โ€” the more creative, ridiculous or completely inappropriate-for-a-snake, the better! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‡

A few fun facts about her:
โœจ โ€œLeucisticโ€ refers to a reduction of pigmentation, giving her that gorgeous white appearance.
๐Ÿ‘€ Her striking blue eyes are a signature feature of the Blue Eyed Leucistic morph.
๐Ÿ Royal pythons are also known as ball pythons because they famously curl themselves into a tight little ball when they feel threatened.
๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Theyโ€™re ambush predators and are perfectly happy waiting patiently for food to come to them โ€” honestly, living the dream. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Now the important questionโ€ฆ

What should we call her? ๐Ÿ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™

๐ŸฆŽโœจ LETโ€™S TALK SUPPLEMENTS! โœจ๐ŸฆŽ

One of the biggest things we see in reptile keeping is people thinking that โ€œthey eat well, so they must be getting everything they need!โ€ โ€” but nutrition doesnโ€™t stop at the food bowl! ๐ŸŒฑ

Just like us, reptiles need a balanced supply of essential vitamins and minerals to support strong bones, healthy growth, muscles, metabolism and overall wellbeing. ๐Ÿฆด๐Ÿ’š

And when it comes to supplementation, these are the products we use, trust and LOVE here at Elm Court Reptile House! ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐ŸŒฟ EARTHPRO-A
Our broad-spectrum mineral supplement, helping provide the wide range of minerals and trace elements reptiles need as part of a balanced diet.

๐Ÿฆด CALCIUMPRO
Calcium is essential for healthy bones, muscles and normal body function โ€” and CalciumPro is a staple in our supplementation rotation.

โ˜€๏ธ REVITALISED3
Providing D3 alongside essential vitamins and minerals, helping reptiles utilise calcium effectively where dietary D3 is appropriate.

๐Ÿ”„ OUR SUPPLEMENT ROTATION
Rather than relying on one product for everything, EarthPro-A, CalciumPro and RevitaliseD3 are the three supplements we love using as part of our rotation.

This gives us a simple way to provide a broader range of nutritional support while avoiding the temptation to just โ€œdust everything with everything!โ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚

โš ๏ธ BUT HEREโ€™S THE IMPORTANT BIT:
There isnโ€™t a single supplementation routine that works for every reptile.

Species, age, diet, UVB, growth rate and individual needs all matter. Some reptiles need dietary D3, while others may get sufficient D3 through appropriate UVB exposure. Supplementation should always complement a proper species-appropriate diet and correct UVB setup.

๐Ÿ’š Good food + good UVB + good supplementation = a much better foundation for a healthy reptile!

Want to know what supplements your reptile actually needs and how often to use them?

Come and chat to the team at Elm Court Reptile House โ€” weโ€™re always happy to help you build a supplementation routine that makes sense for your animal. ๐Ÿ๐ŸฆŽ๐Ÿธ

โœจ Fresh setup, happy geckos! ๐ŸฆŽ๐ŸŒฟ

Weโ€™ve just upgraded one of our leopard gecko enclosures using the new HabiStat Elements Leopard Gecko Bedding, and weโ€™re really impressed with the results! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Designed to replicate the dry, rocky habitats leopard geckos naturally come from, this expertly blended mix of sand, clay and soils encourages natural behaviours such as digging and burrowing while providing a stable surface for secure footing. Itโ€™s also supplied pre-hydrated, helping to create natural humidity gradients and making it easier to maintain those all-important humid retreats for healthy sheds. Best of all, itโ€™s ready to use straight from the bag, making enclosure upgrades quick and simple.

To complete the setup, weโ€™ve introduced three stunning new leopard geckos:
๐ŸฆŽ Classic
๐Ÿค Blizzard
โค๏ธ Raptor

Theyโ€™ve settled in beautifully, and we canโ€™t wait to watch them explore their new home! Swipe through to see these gorgeous morphs enjoying their fresh enclosure. ๐Ÿ˜

Are you thinking about upgrading your leopard geckoโ€™s setup? Pop into the shop and chat with our team! Weโ€™re always happy to help you create a naturalistic habitat thatโ€™s both enriching and practical.

๐Ÿขโค๏ธ When the food hits just right...

These adorable baby red-footed tortoises canโ€™t get enough of their soaked Mazuri Tortoise Diet! ๐ŸŒฑ

Mazuri is a fantastic staple diet, providing balanced nutrition to support healthy growth, shell development, and overall wellbeing. We recommend soaking the pellets before feeding to make them easier for young tortoises to eat, then offering them alongside a varied diet of leafy greens, edible flowers, and other appropriate foods.

Weโ€™re proud to stock the full range of Mazuri favourites, including:
๐ŸŒฟ Herbivorous Reptile Diet
๐Ÿฅฌ Tortoise LS (Low Starch) Diet
๐Ÿข Tortoise Diet

Watching these little ones tuck in never gets old! ๐Ÿฅน

Do your tortoises love Mazuri too? Let us know in the comments! ๐Ÿ‘‡

A huge thank you to one of our wonderful customer Jord ๐Ÿฆ‰ for sharing these absolutely stunning photos of his Crested Gecko! ๐ŸฆŽโœจ

We love seeing our animals thriving in their new homes, and these pictures are truly incredible. The detail, colours, and personality captured in every shot are amazing โ€” and whatโ€™s even cooler is that theyโ€™ve managed to capture some fantastic feeding behaviour in action! ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ

Seeing these natural moments up close is always fascinating and makes the photos even more special.

Thank you for taking the time to share these with us and for being part of our community. Seeing updates like this is one of the best parts of what we do, and itโ€™s wonderful to watch these animals flourish with dedicated keepers! ๐ŸฆŽ
