๐Ÿธ๐ŸŒฟ Starting the week with an update on our Mossy Frogs!

These masters of camouflage are thriving in their enclosure. Most of the time they're so well hidden amongst the plants and dรฉcor that spotting them can feel like a game of hide-and-seek. That's what makes it all the more exciting when they decide to reveal themselves and remind us they're there!

Native to the moss-covered forests and rocky streams of Vietnam, these fascinating frogs have evolved to resemble clumps of moss, helping them blend seamlessly into their surroundings and avoid predators.

๐ŸฆŽ One of the smallest day gecko species, adults typically reach just 4 inches in length.

โ˜€๏ธ Unlike many geckos, Neon Day Geckos are active during the day, making them a fantastic species to observe.

๐ŸŒˆ Their vibrant green bodies and striking blue markings help them blend into tropical foliage while still looking absolutely stunning.

๐Ÿ‘… They have specialised toe pads that allow them to climb smooth surfaces with ease, making them expert acrobats.

๐Ÿฏ In the wild, they feed on insects, fruit, and nectar, often visiting flowers as they move through their habitat.

๐Ÿ๏ธ They are native to Madagascar, an island famous for its unique wildlife found nowhere else on Earth.

๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸฆŽ Time for a terrarium refresh?

We've just expanded our range of artificial reptile plants, vines, backgrounds, hides, and climbing dรฉcor, making it easier than ever to create a naturalistic environment for your reptile.

Not only do artificial plants add a splash of colour to your setup, but they also provide valuable cover, enrichment, climbing opportunities, and visual barriers to help your reptile feel secure. ๐ŸŒฑโœจ

Whether you're building a tropical paradise for a crested gecko, adding cover for a shy snake, or giving your bearded dragon some extra enrichment, we've got plenty of options to choose from in-store.

Pop in and see what you can create! ๐ŸฆŽ๐ŸŒฟ

Talk to the tail, face not listening!โœจ

This leopard gecko did NOT want to take part in a photo opportunity. Leopard geckos are ๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฟ, meaning they are most active at dawn, dusk, and overnight. During the day, they typically sleep and hide to avoid intense heat and daytime predators.

๐Ÿชณ **Did You Know?

Madagascan Hissing Cockroaches are one of the few insects in the world that can make an audible sound!

Unlike crickets or grasshoppers, they don't rub body parts together to create noise. Instead, they force air through tiny breathing holes called spiracles, producing their famous hiss. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

They use different hisses for different situations, including warning off rivals, attracting mates, and letting predators know they're not to be messed with.

Despite their intimidating name, these fascinating insects are harmless, easy to care for, and have become popular pets and educational animals around the world. ๐Ÿชณโœจ

Would you keep a hissing cockroach, or are they a little too creepy-crawly for you? ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿธ Pacman frogs are ALWAYS our forever mood.

No thoughts.
No plans.
No responsibilities.

Just sitting in the same spot, waiting for snacks to magically appear. ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿฝ๏ธ

Honestly, if we could spend our days buried in a cosy substrate blanket and only emerge when food arrived, we probably would too.

Who else is feeling a little Pacman frog today? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š

๐ŸฆŽ๐ŸŒ World Environment Day โ€“ 5th June ๐ŸŒ๐ŸฆŽ

Lizards have survived ice ages, mass extinctions, and over 200 million years of change. Yet today, some species are struggling to keep pace with a warming world.

Rising temperatures don't just affect where reptiles live โ€“ they can influence how much time they spend feeding, how successfully they reproduce, and for some species, even the ratio of males to females being born.

Every species plays a role in the ecosystems we depend on. By understanding the challenges wildlife faces, we can make informed choices that help protect habitats for generations to come.

๐Ÿ’š Awareness is the first step.
๐Ÿ“š Education inspires action.
๐ŸŒ Small changes can make a big difference.

๐ŸฆŽ๐Ÿฅฃ Crested gecko baby season is in full swing here in Reptiles!

Here's one of our newest arrivals making themselves right at home... and apparently deciding that a food bowl is the perfect place to relax and excaping the egg! ๐Ÿ˜ด

These little geckos may be tiny, but they're already full of personality. Keep an eye on our pages as more babies continue to hatch throughout the season! ๐ŸŒฟโœจ

Trying to photograph a Madagascan Giant Day Gecko is a challenge in itself... โšก๐ŸฆŽ

One second they're posing perfectly, the next they've teleported to the other side of the enclosure!

Native to Madagascar, these stunning geckos are known for their incredible green colouration, bright red markings, and lightning-fast speed. They're one of the most eye-catching reptiles in the hobby... if you can keep up with them long enough to get a photo! ๐Ÿ“ธโœจ
