African Spurred Tortoise
Get to know me:
- Make you’ve got plenty of space, I can grow to as much as 91cm in length and weigh over 90kg!
- I am a fantastic escapologist, so make sure you keep me safe and secure if I am roaming outside.
Ball Python Morphs
Get to know me:
- I am very low maintenance and easy to care, perfect for a busy owner.
- Escaping is one of my talents, so make sure my tank is very secure!
- I can be a picky eater, so make sure any treats or changes in my diet are only short term.
Bearded Dragon
Get to know me:
- I like to live alone in plenty of space where I can explore and hide.
- Please handle me gently! I prefer to live with older children as I hate having my tail pulled.
- My typical demeanour is very laid-back, but I can be very inquisitive and curious!
Burmese Python
Get to know me:
- Make sure we have time to play together so I don’t just associate you with food.
- Be prepared to offer me a lot of space, I can grow over 600cm in length if cared for properly!
- With proper handling I can become very tame, but remember I can become defensive around mealtimes.
Chameleons
Get to know me:
- I am an independent soul who prefers to live alone, I like my own space.
- Make sure my home is full stocked with trees and foliage as this is where I will spend all of my time.
- I don’t really like cuddling, I am the perfect pet for observation with my gorgeous colour-changing skin!
Crested Geckos
Get to know me:
- I can have trouble settling into a new home, so let me have my space for the first month!
- Make sure I am kept with plenty of trees to climb, I like the views from up high!
- The men of my species don’t get along, so be sure to keep them in groups of females.
Leopard Geckos
Get to know me:
- I am best living alone, but can become a very friendly pet if handled regularly with care!
- I am not very demanding, so creating the perfect home for me can be easy for first-time owners.
- Remember to keep me nice and warm so I can stay happy and healthy, I don’t like the cold.
Spotted Turtles
Get to know me:
- Handling me can stress me out, so please limit our interactions to around 20 minutes a week.
- I can live with lots of other turtles, but I like to be the only male in a group of females.
- Make sure my tank has a place for me to bask, whilst I am active, I relax out of water.
Leopard Tortoises
Get to know me:
- I love making friends and can be kept with lots of roommates with no problems!
- I do not hibernate but please be aware of the temperature as I need my temperature to be maintained.
- Whilst I like my roommates, I can be shy around humans and will hide in my shell.
