Thanks Jack,
It's a share of a share - Glad to hear Gizmo still hitting the keyboards 🤣

It's wonderful to have such great suppliers of healthy reptiles, fingers crossed for even better hatches this year 🤞🤞

We can confirm Gizmo still tries to help out with our admin work and is really getting a handle of the excel sheets!
We love working with Redwood Aquatics Aquarium & Water Garden Centre
As sad as it is when our baby leopard geckos make the move to Redwood Aquatics, it's always exciting to see them begin the next chapter of their journey and find their forever homes. We know they'll receive the very best care from the Redwood Aquatics team while they wait to meet their new families.
If you're ever looking for reptile advice, supplies, or an enclosure upgrade, we couldn't recommend a better place. Their knowledge, passion, and care for animals are second to none.

Our reptile season officially finished a few weeks ago with the last three Leopard Geckos going to their forever homes.
Happy and sad at the same time.

As usual, never enough baby bearded dragons for demand, fingers crossed for next season.

Lots of Leopard Geckos off to new homes this last season. It's awesome to see customers doing lots of research and equally asking lots of questions about care, housing and feeding.
Some have waited for 4 years before Mum and Dad finally said yes!

Here is a bit of a montage of some of the babies sold in the last year plus three special. Gizmo (Bearded Dragon) on my computer keyboard, he now stars along with Jack from Jax Critters giving interactive reptile experiences.
Mr Hissypants, a grumpy Blue Tongue that was rehomed to us, with some time and attention, became a big softie. Love to see him when he comes to visit.
Minne (Leopard Gecko) visiting with Samantha, she's visits regularly over summer.

Until next season 🥰

Plenty of plants in stock.
5 types Java Fern and Anubias Barteri for driftwood and features.
Amazon Sword, Green Lotus and larger potted stems in big tank
Foreground and Ambulia in smaller tank.

Terrarium plants - great size. These are also fantastic for height at the back of open aquariums. Let their roots soak up your nitrates.

Officially winter but surprisingly mild, 14 years ago we were digging out the place from very heavy snow ❄️

Some customer favourites into store this week or by tomorrow:
Marble Hatchetts
Ember Tetra
Forktail Rainbows
Albino Cherry Barbs - stunning colours
Orange Tuxedo Swords - what I'm calling them as an accidental new line bred by us!
Harlequin Rasbora
Male Guppies 2 for $18
Female Guppies 2 for $15
Assorted Black/Marble Mollies $7.50

A few betta from the cabinet, not behaving for photos today. Best I could do 😉
Have turned over a huge amount in the past two weeks, some lovely fish coming through.

As always, our fish our quarantined for a couple of weeks (out the back) before coming into store. It does delay new fish but its safer for our customers. Its not 100% guarantee but better than cold shipping and straight into sales tanks.

Its always a pleasure to get great feedback about our plants.

JD sent me a video of his planted aquarium, 90% of the plants have been purchased from our store, new addition this week: Red Lotus.

Lovely to see a Fire Eel in such a stunning set up. I did query how he is with the plants as they can carve up the aquarium base but he is very well behaved and leaves the small fish alone.
Mr Fire Eel also sold by us!

Awesome JD!

EDIT: Thanks for all the interest. A new owner has been found. 🦎 😁

A very good customer of ours is wanting to rehome his 2 year old Male Bearded Dragon, comes complete with Reptile One Vivarium (no cabinet), Arcadia UVB, Heat Lamp & fittings & Reptile One Ezistat Thermostat.
Price $850 (Beardie dragon and all items listed above)

He also has a male Beardie and they can no longer have the two in the same home.

I am happy to pass on your details if private messaged to us but we are not involved with this sale at all.

Just trying to find the perfect home for this boy 🥰
