Well I promised an update and here it is! 🌿

This habitat is officially grown in and on display in The Pet Shop Liskeard!

This shop holds a special place in my heart as it's where I got my first snake Oracle (see pictures) and definitely helped to kick start my passion for reptiles, to have one of my habitats on display in there really hits home for me.

I'd like to give a massive thank you to Mel, i'll be popping in on thursday to see what you put in there, enjoy your new addition!

Don't forget to swing by if your in the area and see the great range of stock they have!

Massive thanks for letting me do this paludarium and for sending through the update pictures! Check out his page He's got some incredible isopods and inverts and some of them even need new homes 😉

All planted and ready to grow in! It's all looking a bit sad after the move but they'll bounce back in no time!

This is gonna be on display soon but more info coming on that at a later date ;)

Just under 2 months of growth and I'd say the plants are acclimated and starting to pop now, just look at that Peperomia! 😍

Can't wait to see it in a year's time!

Had a busy morning taking cuttings and planting propogations, all of them have been planted in a reptile safe potting soil so no waiting for pesky fertilisers to be processed by the plants! 🌱

Because of the storms today Ive got an impromptu day off from my main job on the recycling trucks so I figured I'd make a a little post so you can get to know me a little more. My name is Rowan and Ive been keeping reptiles for about 5 years now, like most of us I caught the reptile bug and now have a few different species under my roof and always looking into others, I'm currently keeping 2 woma pythons, 3 spotted pythons, a Mexican red knee tarantula, leopard gecko, a red eye tree frog and even a few tubs of woodlice. (I definitely can't forget the small jungle of plants I've been collecting aswell 😅)

From the very start I found standard enclosures boring and always found myself wanting to spice them up and make them more interesting, then I found out what a bioactive enclosure was and my mind exploded. With a background in carpentry and making things, studying zoology, and a massive interest in eco systems as a whole this seems like a perfect route to try and head in whilst trying to improve the lives of our scaley friends along the way! Some of you may even know me from the reptile shop I worked in for a bit! This is something I've been doing on the side for a little while and as with every small business it takes a while to grow but its getting there day by day and I'm looking forward to getting to know you all, anyway here's a little collection of some of my animals and plants and even my favourite hat 😉 feel to drop me a message anytime 🐍
