So many snails :0

We've got giant african land snails in both dark form and albino (Archachatina marginata o**m), plus the really cool giant tiger land snails (Achatina achatina)

The tigers are definitely the coolest as they’re one of the largest land snail species in the world! They can reach some seriously impressive sizes, with shell lengths of up to around 27cm.

The dark forms and albinos are lovely too, so there's a bit of variety depending on what you prefer.

Not your usual shop residents, but we love a slightly different invert!

RED VINEGAROONS

You don't see the red ones come up very often, so we're pretty chuffed to have these in!

Vinegaroons are such an interesting invert, and the red colouration on these makes them stand out even more. They're a type of whip scorpion and, despite the name, aren't true scorpions at all!

They can also spray a vinegar-smelling liquid when threatened, which is where the name comes from.

Definitely a cool one for anyone who likes keeping something a bit different!

WOAH BLOOD PYTHON

She’s only a little girl at the moment, but don't let her size fool you because she's going to grow into an absolute unit!

Blood pythons are a seriously impressive species, known for their thick, muscular bodies and those gorgeous reds, oranges and deep contrasting patterns. They might not be the longest pythons out there, but they certainly make up for it in build!

A proper chunky species with loads of character, and one that's definitely going to turn heads as she grows!

SHES SO PRETTY

I've had a few people ask me about F10 recently and the fact it's no longer DEFRA-approved, so I thought I'd clear a few things up!

You can still use F10! Losing DEFRA approval doesn't mean it's suddenly stopped working or is unsafe to use.

DEFRA approval involves testing disinfectants against specific pathogens at set concentrations and under particular conditions. It's not a general measure of how effective a product is for everyday disinfection.

F10 actually published a document explaining why it withdrew from the DEFRA approved list. The issue was the concentrations required to pass the testing, which went beyond the scope of the manufacturer's toxicity studies. They weren't prepared to recommend its use at concentrations where safety hadn't been established.

F10 is a broad spectrum veterinary disinfectant that works by damaging the cell membranes of microorganisms, disrupting their function and helping to kill them. It's effective against a range of bacteria, fungi and viruses when used at the correct dilution and contact time.

For everyday cleaning and disinfection, you can still use F10 according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you're dealing with a notifiable disease outbreak where DEFRA approval is specifically required, you'll need a product approved for that purpose.

The short of it is: no need to panic or throw your F10 away! Just make sure you're using it correctly and for the intended purpose.

Day off? Nope.
Rejigging all the vivs? Yes.

Despite me completely forgetting, we’ve now been open for a whole YEAR! (+ 3 days) So obviously, what better way to celebrate than to spend my day off moving half the shop around.

We’ve been having a bit of a shuffle to make some more room for growth, and we’ve now got a much bigger shelf for our livefood, which is long overdue.

Still got a few more bits to sort out, but I’ll leave those as a surprise for now.

A massive thank you to everyone who’s supported us over the last year. It’s been a busy one, and there’s plenty more to come. Here’s to year two!

Ornate uromastyx!

Look at this little unit. Ornates are such underrated lizards, and the patterns on these guys are gorgeous!

They're big fans of basking, munching their greens and generally looking like they own the place. They're primarily herbivorous too, so no tubs of bugs needed for these guys!

They do need a proper hot basking spot, good UVB and a setup that lets them really make the most of their natural behaviours, so definitely one to do your homework on before bringing one home.

Fancy something a little different from the usual beardie? Come and meet them in store!
