As a reptile lover owning a shop has been a dream come true , I’m able to have species I could only dream off before due to space limitations , with large space about to start building I’ll be able to educate and show how large space some of these animals need and thrive in , it’s hard to sometimes get across the adult space required while they are babies and for sale in the shop so we hope with the expansion it will inspire to what is possible.

🐢 TORTOISE BABIES HAVE ARRIVED! 🐢💚

We’ve got some gorgeous little tortoises looking for their new forever homes! 🥰

🌿 2 × Baby Leopard Tortoises
🌿 5 × Baby Horsefield Tortoises
🌿 1 × Horsefield Tortoise – approx. 18 months old 🐢❤️

The 18-month-old Horsefield is looking for a special forever home and would make a fantastic addition for someone wanting a slightly older tortoise rather than a tiny baby.

All our tortoises are available with advice on their care, diet, lighting, heating and setup to make sure they get the best possible start in their new homes. 🌱☀️

Pop into Thomas Reptiles and come and meet these little characters! 🐢💚

📍 Come and see us in store
🐢 Responsible homes only
💚 We’re always happy to offer advice before you buy
