“Just a short thank you for looking after the two Rankins dragons for two weeks for us. We both felt that you would take good care of them and it was clear that you look after your pets well. An added thank you for letting me hold one of your snakes – loved it”

Boarding Client - August 2011

We have a range of enclosures to cater for different types of snakes, lizard, tortoises, frogs, newts and salamanders depending on their size and needs. Individual control units are installed in our reptile enclosures so we can regulate the temperature and daylight hours each occupant receives. We will also spray enclosures where appropriate to maintain the correct humidity. We supply fresh water each day and feed our animals good quality live food that have had supplements, fresh food and water to ensure maximum nutritional content. Where vegetation is used we aim to use organic produce that has been well washed. Alternatively we can feed animals with food that you supply or a specialised diet upon your recommendation. Enclosures are cleaned and spot checked every day and the animals inspected for illness or injury.

Frequently Asked Questions


What happens if my pet falls ill? We will contact you as soon as we are concerned with your animal to confirm whether you are happy with us to transport your pet to the vets. If we cannot contact you we will rely on the advice of your emergency home contact so please make them aware of any actions you may wish to undertake. You will be responsible for any vet bills upon your return.


What happens if our flights home are cancelled? We appreciate that things can hinder arrangements, however, if we are informed prior to the collection date we will try to accommodate longer stays where possible and charge this at our normal rate. If we are not informed prior to the collection date then any further stay in our care may be charged at an inflated cost. Please note that if animals are not collected within 10 days of the arranged date without notice or reason then we will assume the animals are abandoned and assume ownership.
