At Northampton Reptile Centre, reptiles are more than just pets; they are a lifelong passion.

Founded in 1995, Northampton Reptile Centre began as a small family-run business built around a genuine love for reptiles, amphibians and exotic animals. What started as a specialist reptile shop in Northamptonshire has grown into one of the UK’s best-known reptile retailers, trusted by beginners, experienced keepers and reptile enthusiasts across the country.

From our store in St. James, Northampton, we continue to provide expert advice, high-quality reptile supplies, captive-bred reptiles and exceptional customer care to customers both in-store and online.

Our website, reptilecentre.com, launched in 2008 with a simple goal: to make professional reptile care advice and trusted reptile supplies accessible to keepers throughout the UK. Since then, we’ve helped thousands of customers create healthy habitats for their animals through carefully selected products, detailed care information and friendly support from experienced reptile keepers.

In 2016, we expanded further with the opening of Northampton Reptile & Fish Centre at Bell Plantation Garden Centre in Towcester, allowing us to offer even more expertise, livestock and specialist aquatic and reptile products to our growing community.

A Family Business Built Around Animal Welfare

As a family-run reptile shop, animal welfare has always been at the heart of everything we do. We strongly believe in responsible reptile keeping, ethical sourcing and promoting high standards of care throughout the reptile hobby.

We specialise in healthy captive-bred reptiles and work hard to ensure every animal receives the care, nutrition and environment it deserves. Whether you are purchasing your very first leopard gecko or expanding an established reptile collection, our team is here to offer honest advice and ongoing support.

We aspire to embrace our animal-loving community. We live to promote the ethic of animal and environmental welfare. We provide on-going knowledge and education for peace of mind. We nurture animals for the enjoyment of like-minded people.

Supporting Reptile Keepers Across the UK

Today, Northampton Reptile Centre is proud to serve customers nationwide through our online reptile shop, offering everything from reptile vivariums and heating equipment to live food for reptiles, substrates, lighting, décor and specialist reptile supplies.
