How cute are these two? 🥹

Our gorgeous Emerald Tree Monitors have decided that the best place to rest is apparently on top of each other!

We couldn't resist sharing this adorable little moment. They're such stunning animals, and clearly have no concept of personal space! 😂

We have a gorgeous range of shop-bred Bearded Dragons available here at Repxotics! 🦎

These stunning youngsters are the offspring of RJ, our legacy Coral Citrus Hypo Trans male, who was bred right here at Repxotics, and Bea, our lovely low-expression Citrus female.

The morphs from this pairing are wonderfully varied, ranging from little mini-me versions of dad (Coral Citrus Hypo Trans) to Citrus Hypos, Citrus Trans, and low-expression Citrus!

This pairing really does produce something for everyone. Whether you prefer the more classic Bearded Dragon look with a little extra colour or the striking reds and oranges of the Coral Citrus line, there’s plenty to choose from!

All absolutely stunning in their own way, and we’re so pleased with how these youngsters have turned out!

Pop into the shop to meet them and find your favourite! 🦎

🦎🩺 Monkey-Tailed Skink Baby Update! 🩺🦎

Back in May, we shared the exciting news that our female monkey-tailed skink might be gravid after Lucy from The Tiny Vet spotted what looked like a tiny gestational sac on ultrasound.

Well… there’s definitely no “might” about it anymore! 😂 She is very much gravid and looking like she could be getting ready to pop fairly soon!

Lucy came back to scan her again today and, although baby wasn’t quite cooperative enough to give us that perfect cute little outline on the ultrasound, we did get a brilliant look at its ribs and spinal column! 👀

Monkey-tailed skinks usually give birth to just one very large, fully developed baby, so seeing how much this little one has developed since that first tiny scan back in May is pretty amazing.

Mum is doing really well and we’ll be keeping a very close eye on her over the coming weeks. Now we’re just waiting for baby to decide when it’s time to make an appearance! 🦎

A huge thank you again to Lucy at The Tiny Vet for coming out and checking on her for us.

Check out our story for a video of today’s ultrasound! 👀

We’ll keep you updated… hopefully the next update involves a tiny monkey-tailed skink! ✨

Apologies if you’ve tried to contact us by phone this morning! Our phone line was unknowingly down, so we weren’t receiving any calls.

It’s now back up and running as normal. Sorry for any inconvenience caused!

What a difference 4 months can make! 🦎

The first photo is the day this little guy came to us back in May, and the second is him now!

Sadly, he arrived with us as a pretty severe case of neglect. He was extremely underweight, had significant problems with his eyes, retained shed stuck in his mouth and throat, retained shed around his toes which had caused them to bleed, and a prolapse.

We contacted our vet (The Tiny Vet!!) immediately and, with such a long list of problems, we genuinely feared the worst. There was a very real possibility that he may simply have been too far gone.

But he was a fighter, and before taking the saddest route, we wanted to give him every chance we possibly could.

After veterinary treatment, lots of care, good food and plenty of time to recover, look at him now! 🥹

Four months later he’s a completely different gecko and is finally ready to find his new home. The only thing that seems to be lingering from everything he went through is that his vision isn’t quite as good as your average leopard gecko, but he manages absolutely brilliantly.

His rehoming fee is £65, or £45 with the purchase of a complete set-up from us.

We think this little fighter has more than earned his happy ending. If you think you could offer him his forever home, please get in touch! 🦎
