Reptiles- snakes

 These snakes are found in the tropical areas of Honduras and Northeastern Costa Rica. They are an egg-laying species that can reach 5 feet in length. Jinx our milk snake is very inquisitive and is always investigating. He is an amazing hunter, as soon as his food is presented he senses it and the hunt is on! amazing behaviour to observe.

Royal Python's originate from Central and Western Africa, inhabiting grassland and forest. Some African communities see these animals as sacred, protecting them from poachers. Zulu our Royal Python has the most relaxed personality of all our animals. Any more relaxed and he would be horizontal! He sits quietly in your hand whilst you observe, sometimes going off to smell your feet!

Monty our young Royal Python was given to us due to not being wanted, along with his sister Cleo. Although young, he is doing great with meeting people and a great help in sharing the workload with Zulu. She has a lovely calm nature and will be a great addition in meeting everyone.

Rainbow Boa's originate from Brazil, with subspecies found throughout South America, Central America, and southern North America. Nebula our Rainbow Boa is the coolest snake, with her iridescent scales making her sparkle like a gemstone, she has the best temperament too. 

Boa Constrictor's are native to tropical South America. Being ambush predators, they do not 'size you up for dinner', instead they wait for the prey to come to them. Athena our Boa Constrictor was rehomed to us due to no longer being able to care for her. She is our gentle giant at 10.5ft in length so far. She really enjoys stretching out and is often in our garden soaking up the sun.

Indi our female corn snake is our older girl, having been rehomed because of her age. Just like Reuben she works part time for now, and similar to Reuben she loves a good gossip and wants to know everything! She is happy when there is not too much noise so  if you would her to attend, please be mindful of this. 

Bearded Dragon's as native to Australia inhabiting  deserts, subtropical woodlands, savannas, and scrublands.

Like a dragon, it’s equipped with spiny scales, which include a “beard” of spikes under its chin that puffs up depending on their mood. Luki our beard dragon is so placid so is great to introduce those new to reptiles as he just sits and let's you stoke him from head to toe.

Binky our other leopard gecko was found abandoned in an empty house with no food, water or heat and so given to us. She is the more excitable one, always wanting to go for a walk and investigate her surroundings so you need to keep up with her when she pays you a visit!

Mice can be found in nearly every country and in all types of terrain. We have 3 groups of mice who are available for visit's. Our female group and two male groups. All visit in small group's of 3 and have amazing temperaments! They always get a lot of love when out and about.

Aurora our little spiderling is native to Brazil and  Uruguay. A little shy as she is only a baby so is viewing only until she gets bigger, however she is has had 3 moults now!

Olivia our red knee originates from Mexico. She is a beautiful spider and handles well but she has hit her teenage years and so has decided she no longer wants to be handled. We respect this and so viewing only, however she is great watching her feed!

Quaver our curly hair originates from Costa Rica. She is our 'middle child' and has such gorgeous curly hairs and she makes some fabulous webs! Quaver thinks everything is food, despite her calm nature, so we do not handle her. Quaver is viewing only but amazing to watch feeding!

African Land Snails are native to East Africa but now are found all over the world. These snails are dustbins, eating everything in their path! great for any of our household fruit and veg waste!

These invertebrate are native to the island of Madagascar. They live in colonies and are not pests as they not inhabit our homes. They are our clean up crew, eating through all of our waste so great to have around!

These crabs can be found within the West Atlantic, Southern Florida and the West Indies. Our two crabs named Merlin and Mertel are two opposites, Merlin is outgoing and always out for a stroll, whereas Mertel likes to remain a recluse.

Giant African Millipedes are found in  lowland rainforests of East Africa.  Although the name millipede means “thousand-feet,” most giant African millipedes only have about 300 to 400 legs. This species is the largest of the 10,000 species of millipede!

Chocolate Millipedes, also known as African Giant Chocolate Millipedes are  commonly found in areas of dry savanna in Ghana and Nigeria, with distinct rainy and dry seasons.  This species is omnivorous and will consume a wide range of fruits, vegetables and animal protein. 

Death head cockroaches are found across Central America, hiding within the forest floor in dead rotten wood and leaf matter. They play an important part within the local ecosystem by eating the dead rotten woods and leaves, as well as other organic food matter. They are large in size and a great addition to any event, especially the creepy ones!

The Question mark cockroach  is native to India and lives in moist, warm, dark areas, such as leaf litter, tree bark, and scrub forests. It is omnivorous, eating fruit, dead animals, and vegetables. It is also a detritivore, eating kitchen waste which is great for us so no fresh food waste!. These can be held but have some speedy legs on them so you need to be ready and on your guard!

These slimy creatures are native to Jamaica and are considered a pest. They are know as  are hermaphrodites (have both male and female reproductive organs), laying 3-40 eggs every 2-3 weeks, and hatching within 15 days. Being an omnivore they feed on fruit, veg and meat.  

This species is originally from Thailand  and mimics bark and camouflages perfectly on trees and between twigs and branches. When handled they will walk around or will feign death by allowing themselves to drop to the floor and remain motionless. Don't worry though, they generally just pretend to be  stick in your hand!

Thai Rainbow Millipedes are endemic to South East Asia and are famously known for their remarkable colours. Like other millipedes, they have stout and segmented bodies, which allow them to curl up if threatened. The head of the millipede has two sensory organs on each side for use in exploring its surroundings. 

This scorpion is a species of scorpion found in the Middle East, including Israel, Jordan, and Egypt. They are nocturnal predators that hunt insects and other small prey, and are burrowers so often found in sandy or rocky environments. Like our other scorpion we do not handle as they like to be left to it, but he is beautiful to look at and a great comparison of just how diverse scorpions are.

The Bumblebee Millipede is a small species which is found in the Caribbean. Living amongst the leaf litter, they are great for the local eco-systems as they clean up all the dead rotten wood and leaves, consuming between 10-25% annually. These little guys make a great addition to any event.
