Codicote Reptiles is the home of Matthew Payne and Jade Finnecy. We have been keeping exotics for a number of years and have gathered a wealth of knowledge and experience. We keep several species here including a variety of snakes, lizards, amphibians, chelonia and invertebrates. Aside from our love of the cold blooded we also have a soft spot for furries! ENTERTAINMENT SERVICES
We are fully licen

sed (ANI/8594) and insured to take our animals out to meet and greet, both at public events and private functions! We are available for any function, from birthday and private parties to scout troop and school talks! We can bring a variety of animals (all of which can be handled) including snakes, lizards, amphibians and inverts to our events and we pride ourselves on giving the best experience we can. If you are interested in booking us, or would like any further information about this service please feel free to get in touch. REHOMING
We take in many animals here which arrive for a number of reasons. Many of which require veterinary treatment as well as space, housing, feeding, cleaning and general care and attention. Animals left with us will be rehomed once we are happy with their condition (NEVER before, no exceptions) We will always put a small rehoming fee on them to help us continue to operate. AVAILABILITY
Our current availability list will always be pinned to the top of our page. We will not rehome any animal that isn't ready for its new home and we reserve the right to halt adoptions at any time if for any reason we become unhappy with the condition. We would much rather keep an animal then let it go before it's ready. Any animal will have spent a minimum of 4 weeks with us. REPTILE SITTING
We also offer an in house pet sitting service. If you have a number of animals and boarding simply isn't an option, we can offer to look after your pets in your own home! Rates for this service are dependant on distance/ job description so feel free to message us with what you'd like us to do and we can quote you a price. Prices are negotiable for this service. We obviously specialise in reptiles but we're more than happy to look after any animals you may have. From dogs and cats to small furries and birds. HELP & ASSISTANCE
We're more than happy to share our knowledge and advise where we can. We can also take in or even temporarily board snakes with minor health issues, non-feeders or aggressive snakes to try and get them back on track (veterinary and food costs as well as a small contribution to our cause will need to be met by owner in the case of temporary boarding). We have a very high success rate for finding the feed response in the most stubborn of snakes! We also have an incredible reptile vet who shows a great love and passion for the animals. If you would like to help us continue our work. We are always grateful for any donations. Whether it be enclosures or equipment that you may have spare, or our PayPal is set up to [email protected]. All donations go directly to the rehome and rescue animals we have here :)

REVIEWS
We are always very pleased to hear of your experiences with us. Any feedback on how we can improve our service is always very much appreciated! There is a review section to our page which we are very proud of. If you have had an experience with us, feel free to leave your thoughts there for others to read :)

Viewings of our animals are happily organised on request. Matt & Jade x

The Pacman Frogs have now passed quarantine here :)

Picture 1 is an excellent feeder and very chill.
Picture 2 doesn't have the biggest appetite but no cause for concern as it is certainly eating.
Picture 3 has a misshapen bottom jaw and walks a little funny due to MBD, however, is by far the most ravenous of the three.

All are gorgeous.

We have a couple of 45×45×30 Exo Terras that could potentially go with them if needed. Otherwise, proof of a suitable setup will be required. Give us a message if you'd like any more information.

We are still looking for somewhere for 3 Roosters. 2 Silkies and a Pekin.

We have built a temporary enclosure for them in our garden, but they desperately need somewhere to go long term. They are friendly boys which all let you pick them up. They do not need to all go together.

A little event during our outing today, when we found this little Gosling with a length of fishing wire wrapped tightly around its leg and trailing about a metre behind.

After cutting it off, it rejoined its family group on the lake. Fortunately, mum didn't mind the intervention. :)

Beautiful and so fluffy!
