Our Story

Reptiles dont bark, jump up at you, shed hair etc and despite what many people think, some are incredibly sociable, thriving on human interaction. Many are incredibly intelligent and each has their own personality and I love nothing more than sharing my fascinating animals to people , each and every one is amazing in their own right . When reptiles are mentioned, many people immediately think or cobra's and crocodiles, feeling slimey or being aggressive, I want to show people that there is much more to reptiles than this. From my brightly coloured Panther Chameleon 'Bruce' to the incredibly docile, gentle and cuddley Ball Python 'Hank', you cant help falling in love with them and their personalities. I have many Google reviews and client added pictures, just search for me and see for yourself how fun and educational my sessions are.

Experience

I have been fascinated with reptiles from a very early age and had my very 1st reptiles from around 9 years of age. Im a huge advocate of replicating natural environments for the animals I keep and heavily research continuously on how I can improve even further on their care and enclosures.

Typical Clients

I can cater for private parties/functions, schools and educational settings, clubs such as Scouts, preschools, Care settings etc . We have done numerous palliative care ward tours which always brings joy to everyone we meet.

Credentials

I am a member of Portsmouth Reptile and Amphibian Society as well as Responsible Reptile Keeping. Im proud to hold a 5* Higher Standards Animal Activities Licence and Animal Exhibitions Licence meaning both my animals and every aspect of their housing and care has been inspected by my local authority . I also have a DBS check in place and hold a Zoology Diploma
