Reptile rehoming across Yorkshire
If you can no longer keep a snake, lizard, or tortoise, I'll take it in, assess what it needs, and find it a proper home — with me, or with a trusted local reptile shop.
A short process, built around what's best for the animal.
01
Species, age, health, housing, and why you're rehoming. Photos help but aren't essential.
02
I look at welfare needs and space before deciding whether I can take the animal in directly.
03
The animal is placed with me or handed over to a vetted local reptile shop for rehoming.
From a single gecko to a full collection. If it's not listed here, ask anyway — most reptiles can be placed somewhere.
Corn snakes, royal pythons, and similar
Any age or temperament, including animals that need handling experience.
Bearded dragons, leopard geckos, and similar
Including animals with specific lighting or heating needs.
Indoor and outdoor set-ups
Long-lived animals often need a specialist next home — I know who to ask.
Vivariums, heat lamps, substrate
Happy to take equipment alongside an animal, or on its own.
Reptiles bought and sold quickly online often end up with people who aren't set up for their needs.
Every handover is assessed against the animal's actual care needs, not just who asks first.
Where I can't take an animal in myself, it goes to a reptile shop I know and trust in the area.
Circumstances change. Getting the animal somewhere better is what matters, not why you can't keep it.
Tell me about the reptile and your situation, and I'll come back to you.
