Sharing REPTA (Reptile and Exotic Pet Trade Association)'s stance on negative genetic genes and ethics in reptiles. We can confirm that we do not breed nor sell any of the genes on this list, although we do still get some in for rehoming - so it's clear there are people, even in the local area, who are continuing to breed despite overwhelming evidence about the negative traits. If you see any of these in store (for example, we currently have a spider morph that was handed over last week), they will be with a clear rehoming/rescue label on them and rehomed strictly only to pet homes who understand the potential problems.

Anyone breeding any reptile for any reason has a responsibility to educate themselves about the health of those reptiles and all of the potential complications. Ignorance is no excuse.

Sharing this Kickstarter because I'm so excited about the project and can't wait to get my hands on mine. We love to support small businesses, local businesses and independent creatives. This Rainbow Isopod plushie is designed and being sold by Squishy Fauna who also did the logo that you'll find on our shop uniforms, shop pin badges and stickers. They are Cardiff based and have supported the shop for many years, have lots of rescues from us and you may have met them selling their artwork on stickers, keyrings and badges at the birthday weekend.

If you're not familiar with Kickstarter do be aware of the shipping date as you're backing now to receive the product once it's fully produced.

Apologies for any delays in setups or deliveries, we've had to put a pause on some services as Ben has had to rush to the USA for a family emergency. We are unsure at this time how long he will need to stay but things should get back to normal in a few weeks time. The team are pulling together to cover his shifts at short notice and the shop opening hours, sales in store, and holiday boarding will be unaffected.

It will affect our ability to get photos and answer questions on social media quickly so apologies for any delays there.

We really appreciate people being patient and understanding during a very difficult time for Ben and the family.
