V.I.P Reptiles is a family based hobby of keeping
and breeding reptiles. We pride ourselves on our customer service as
well as the quality of the reptiles we produce.
We are private breeders of Corn snakes,
Leopard geckos and Water Dragons and hope in the next year to include Royal
pythons and Crested Geckos to that list.
We have been involved with reptiles for 11
years now and for 8 years of the 11 we have been keeping and breeding our
own collection. My husband only had a little experience with reptiles
until we started our own collection 8 years ago. We are lucky enough to
have 2 young sons who are also reptile mad and have been involved with
them from birth really. It has got to the point where our 5 year old can
tell you what requirements a snake has and how to meet these in a
captive environment. A budding herpetologist I'm sure. Our younger sons
interests are more of the amphibian kind and even has his
own frog tank.
My self and my husband have been members of the
FBH for 2 years now and I have been a member of the
BHS for 2 years. We
have joined
PRAS this year as a family.
I have a Foundation and Advanced Certificate in
Herpetology both of which I received good grading (merit and distinction
respectively), both of which I attained though the Proteus Reptile
Trust, I also have a National Diploma in Animal Care from Sparsholt
College.
Our future aims are to continue producing
quality reptiles and hopefully add some new species to our collection as
well as to do some further herpetology courses when they become
available. Our aim for this site is to provide keepers or prospective
keepers with some information on certain species of reptile as well as
offering quality reptiles for them to purchase.
In the past we have done school visits as well
as visits to local charities offering activities to school children
during the Holidays. We hope to continue to do this and if you would like
more information about us coming and doing a presentation then don't
hesitate to get in contact. In the meantime you can look on the
testimonials page to see some feedback from one such visit.
