Perfect timing for these 😂🎃

🎃🐍 HALLOWEEN PUEBLAN MILKSNAKES! 🐍🎃

Could these have arrived at a better time of year?! 😍👌🏻

We’ve just had some absolutely gorgeous Halloween Pueblan Milksnakes (Lampropeltis triangulum campbelli) arrive, and with those incredible orange, black and cream tones they are looking VERY seasonal right now 😂🔥

They’re such striking little snakes, with bold banding and a colour combination that makes them stand out instantly.

Pueblan Milksnakes are active, inquisitive and make a brilliant display snake with the right setup, plenty of cover and good enrichment.

🌿 Care:
• Secure terrestrial vivarium
• Proper basking area and temperature gradient
• Plenty of hides and cover
• Fresh water always available
• Enrichment and structure to explore

🐭 Diet:
Appropriately sized defrost rodents.

If you fancy adding something a little spooky to the collection this Halloween… these couldn’t be more appropriate 🎃😂

Halloween Pueblan Milksnakes available now at Ely Exotics! 🐍🔥

If you want, I can also do a matching Halloween-themed reel caption for them.

🕷️😱 GIANT CRAB SPIDERS! 😱🕷️

Heteropoda venatoria — and when we say GIANT… these ladies are absolutely living up to the name 😂👌🏻

We currently have a few females available, and they are seriously impressive spiders. Long-legged, fast, athletic and built like proper hunters, these are the kind of spiders that make people stop and stare.

Unlike tarantulas, these are true spiders, and they rely much more on speed and active hunting rather than sitting back and waiting for prey to wander past. Watching them move and feed is absolutely fascinating. 👀🔥

🌿 Care:
• Secure, well-ventilated enclosure
• Plenty of vertical and horizontal structure
• Cork bark, hides and climbing surfaces
• Appropriate humidity without keeping things stagnant
• Fresh water always available

🦗 Diet:
A varied diet of appropriately sized live insects.

These are definitely best suited to keepers who are comfortable with very fast, very mobile spiders — because once one decides to move, it REALLY moves 😂

🐍💚 TWO ABSOLUTELY STUNNING MALE ARU GREEN TREE PYTHONS AVAILABLE NOW! 💚🐍

And these two are looking seriously good 😍👌🏻

We currently have 2 male Aru Green Tree Pythons in stock, both really well established and feeding like little piggies 😂🔥

Aru animals are such beautiful snakes, with that classic Green Tree Python shape and incredible colour that makes them one of the most impressive display snakes you can keep.

These guys are settled, eating brilliantly and looking fantastic — exactly what we like to see before offering them for sale.

🌿 Care:
• Tall, secure arboreal enclosure
• Plenty of suitable perches and cover
• Correct heat and humidity
• Good ventilation
• Fresh water always available

🐭 Diet:
Appropriately sized defrost rodents — and as mentioned… these two are certainly not shy when dinner arrives 😂

Green Tree Pythons are best suited to keepers who understand their more specialist requirements, but for the right person they are absolutely incredible animals.

🔥🦎 MALE THUNDERBOLT BEARDED DRAGON AVAILABLE NOW! 🦎🔥

Just look at this absolute stunner 😍👌🏻

We currently have this gorgeous male Thunderbolt Bearded Dragon available, and he is a seriously smart-looking little dude.

He’s got a cracking combination of colour, pattern and that classic Beardie expression that always makes them look like they’re judging every decision you make 😂

Bearded Dragons are still one of our favourite pet reptiles for good reason — they’re interactive, full of character and, with the correct setup, make fantastic long-term pets.

🌿 Care:
• Minimum 120 x 60 x 60cm enclosure
• Strong UVB
• Proper basking provision
• Correct temperature gradient
• Suitable substrate and plenty of enrichment

🥬🦗 Diet:
A balanced mix of suitable leafy greens and livefoods, with correct supplementation.

If you’ve been looking for a standout male Beardie, this one is definitely worth coming in to see.

🐍🔥 OUR LAST DWARF MOTLEY RETICULATED PYTHON… AND WHAT A LITTLE STUNNER THIS IS! 🔥🐍

This gorgeous Dwarf Motley Reticulated Python (Malayopython reticulatus) is now our last one available… and honestly, just look at it 😍👌🏻

That Motley pattern gives it such a clean, striking look, and with this being a dwarf, it offers something a little different for experienced keepers who love Retics but are looking for a more manageable option than the truly gigantic mainland animals.

That said, this is still a Reticulated Python — intelligent, powerful, active and absolutely deserving of the same serious planning when it comes to enclosure size, handling and long-term care. These are not a beginner snake and should only go to someone fully prepared for what the species requires.

🌿 Care:
• Large, secure enclosure with room to stretch and move
• Strong climbing opportunities and enrichment
• Correct basking area and thermal gradient
• Large water provision
• Regular handling and management from an experienced keeper

🐭 Diet:
Appropriately sized defrost rodents, increasing with the snake as it grows.

Retics really are incredible animals, and this one is a proper little beauty.

If you’ve been thinking about one… this is the one left. 🐍👌🏻
