Frozen mice are what all of our small and medium sized snakes get to eat every Wednesday (the bigger guys get rats or rabbits). Out of the freezer in the morning and fully defrosted by the afternoon. Last week I thought I’d film Sarah and Duncan serving up dinner to a few of our snakes and put [...]

How do Bearded Dragons lay their eggs? Watch this video!,
You’re probably already aware that we breed a lot of Bearded Dragons at our Northampton shop. But you may be surprized to know that it’s very rare for us to see any of our girls laying their eggs. Usually we’ll just find a clutch of eggs whilst checking the nesting boxes in the morning. So, [...]
Have your reptiles tried Calci-Worms yet?
Calci-Worms are very new to us in the UK. We’ve heard a lot of good things about them from America where they have been used for a long time. Over there they are branded as Phoenix Worms or Soldier Grubs, you may have heard of them. But what are Calci-Worms? Calci-Worms are the larvae of [...]

I cannot believe how many Bearded Dragons have hatched out here this year. I gave up counting a long time ago! Maybe this would make a good competition for next seasons breeding? Here’s a few photos of some babies that hatched a few days ago. Don’t forget we are still giving the babies away free [...]
Baby King Snakes Hatching

Yesterday we were greeted by a clutch of corn snake eggs hatching. These are Amelanistic corn snakes (amels). They look very healthy [...]
Are you ready for breeding time?
This week has seen an explosion in reptiles starting to lay their eggs! However, everybody who already breeds reptiles will know that getting them to lay is the easy bit. A good diet, the right environment and a member of the opposite sex is usually enough to get many of the commonly kept reptiles going! [...]
Have you ever seen a freshly hatched Leopard Gecko?
Everybody loves baby animals, so when these guys started popping out of their eggs I thought I’d better grab a camera and share them with you guys! These are Leopard Geckos that have literally just hatched. The eggs had been in the incubator for 2 months. The interesting thing about these lizards is that you [...]
Have you ever seen Madagascan Giant Day Geckos breeding?
Sometimes, you just can’t get any privacy! That was the case for our pair of Madgascan Giant Day Geckos the other day. Luckily, a crowd and a camera didn’t seem to put this pair off! Please enjoy the photos and I’ll keep you informed if everything is successful and we have some more babies!
