- Animal welfare, husbandry, and record keeping are inspected and assessed in detail

- Systems are in place for veterinary care, biosecurity, and emergency planning

Mossy Gecko – Mniarogekko Chahoua
I am incredibly excited to be working with an outstanding collection of pure white-collar Pine Island Chahoua.
My foundation animals were sourced from some exceptional American breeders, and I am now proud to be adding my own UK-bred generation into the collection.
Crested Geckos – Correlophus Ciliatus
Crested geckos are where the obsession began, after being gifted two hatchlings back in 2010.
Today, I maintain a small but carefully selected collection, including drippy tricolours, Lilly Whites, Sables and Cappuccinos.
Chameleon Gecko – Eurydactylodes
The newest species to join the collection, Eurydactylodes have quickly become a firm favourite.
These small geckos with big personalities include: E. Symmetricus, E. Occidentals, E. Vieillardi, E. Agricolae.
Bavayia Robusta
A fairly uncommon gecko in captivity is the robust forest Bavayia.
Very new to my collection. I’m looking forward to working with the species in the future
