Hi everyone my good friend sells TCGs on Vinted and got some really good cards including graded cards.
If you ever can drop him a follow that would be amazing

One community, thousands of brands, and a whole lot of second-hand style. Ready to get started? Here’s how it works.

Hi everyone been a while since I have posted anything but I have got some exciting news.
I’ve just taken a big step and officially applied for business funding and if everything goes well, there’s a real chance that R&R Exotics and The Mythic Vault could be opening this summer.

This has been years in the making, and I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who’s supported me, encouraged me, and believed in what I’m building. The goal has always been to create something special for the community, a space for reptile keepers, TCG players, collectors, and SEN‑friendly families to feel welcome and included.

Fingers crossed for the next stage. I’m excited for what’s ahead and can’t wait to share more updates soon.

Hey everyone,
This is a big one for me.

I’m working to open The Vault a creative, reptile friendly, neurodivergent safe space right here in Dover. A place where you can play tabletop games, open TCG packs, paint minis, read a comic, or just chill out around reptiles and exotic animals in a calm, friendly environment with no judgment and no negativity.

Some of you know my story.
Four years ago, I tried to open a shop. I was only weeks away from launching when I was attacked. I lost the hearing in my right ear, my confidence collapsed, and the business I had worked so hard to build slipped away.

But I don’t believe in giving up.

I’ve spent the last few years rebuilding myself, learning, growing, and creating something new from my spare room. Now I’ve found the perfect small shop space affordable, central, and with all bills included and I’m ready to try again.

This time, I’m building something even bigger:
A safe, inclusive space for neurodivergent people, hobbyists, families, and anyone who just wants somewhere welcoming to be themselves.

If you’d like to support the journey, I’ve set up a GoFundMe to help with the shop deposit, setup, and initial stock. Every donation, share, or kind word genuinely means the world to me.

Thank you for believing in me and helping bring The Vault to life.
Let’s build something amazing together. 💛🦎🎲📚

2026 is where it all comes to life.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported me so far. This is just the beginning, and I can’t wait to show you what’s coming next.

Welcome to the new look. Welcome to The Vault.

Hi everyone just an update

Unfortunately the Recent bad weather damaged the shed I’ve been building, so I’ll need to rebuild from scratch starting March–April. Our breeding project hasn’t begun yet, so we currently have no animals in stock.

What’s still happening (soft launch in January)

• Soft launch will go ahead in January as planned.
• Stock will be limited to curated gear, plants, custom décor, merch, and Vault teasers while the rebuild is underway.
• No live-animal sales until after breeding begins and welfare checks are in place.

Timeline and priorities

• Rebuild work planned for March–April with a focus on animal welfare, secure enclosures, and proper vet checks.
• Breeding project to start only once the workspace meets all safety and husbandry standards.

If you’ve pre-ordered or enquired

• I’ll message anyone with reservations or commissions directly about availability and delivery options. Priority given to Skool members and local customers.

How you can help or stay connected

• Join our Skool for early access, priority delivery slots, and member-only updates.
• Follow our socials for rebuild photos, DIY time‑lapses, and soft‑launch product drops.
• DM for commissions, questions, or to be added to the waiting list for animals once breeding begins.

Thanks

Thanks for your patience and support — I’m focused on rebuilding safely so we can open properly and put animal welfare first.

🦎 Calling all animal lovers and reptile enthusiasts! 🐍

We’ve been asked to help spread the word about a fascinating study by Cai Brown, a postgraduate researcher at the University of Staffordshire. Cai is exploring how people respond to different animal species—with a special focus on reptiles—and is looking for participants to take part in a short online study.

🧪 What’s involved?

• Watch a series of short videos showing animals being handled
• Share your preferences and reactions
• Takes just 10–15 minutes to complete

This is a great opportunity to support reptile research and help shape how these amazing creatures are understood and cared for.

👉 Take part here: https://staffordshire.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_ai3bE8yFc33fgH4
