Who You Can Meet
Char – Bearded Dragon
Char is our mascot and original resident. Bearded Dragons are one of the most popular reptile pets, and it's no surprise why. These unique and fascinating lizards are known for their docile nature and friendly personalities. They come in a variety of colors, patterns, and sizes, making them a favorite among reptile enthusiasts of all ages. Bearded Dragons are native to the deserts and scrublands of Australia, and in the wild, they can grow up to 24 inches long. In captivity, they typically reach a size of 18-24 inches. They have a distinctive "beard" of spiny scales under their chin, which gives them their name.
Central African Egg Eaters - Dasypeltis Fasciata
Central African Egg Eaters, also known as Dasypeltis, are a unique and fascinating species of snake native to Central Africa. They are known for their specialized diet of eggs, which they swallow whole, and for their small size, typically reaching a maximum length of around 4 feet. Central African Egg Eaters are small, slender snakes with smooth scales and a shiny appearance. They come in a variety of colors, ranging from dark brown to black, with yellow or white markings.
