Our reptile retreat provides a relaxing and secure home-away-from-home for your scaly family member whilst you are away. Your loved one will receive quality care and lots of attention from our specialist trained staff members.
Daily Enrichment & Interaction
Enrichment and mental stimulation is particularly important for active pet reptiles housed in enclosures. Reptiles in their natural habitat keep active by exploring new areas to obtain food, moving over different terrains, basking and water bathing. Your loved one will be provided with a range of environmental enrichment opportunities on a daily basis, including time outside of their enclosure and outdoor time, unless specified otherwise.
A High Quality, Breed- Specific Diet
All reptiles staying with us will be provided with a high quality diet specific to their breeds’ requirements. Lizards, such as Blue Tongues and Bearded Dragons will receive a variety of fresh vegetables & greens, a small amount of fruit, live insects and a complete vitamin supplement on a daily basis.
Turtles will be offered a combination of turtle blocks, blood worms, fresh insects, fresh greens and pellets, all with added reptile supplement.
Snakes will be provided with a diet that mimics their normal diet at home. Please note that we do not support the feeding of live animals to pet snakes and refuse to feed live animals to any of our boarding snakes, even at the owner’s request. Owners are encouraged to bring along any specific food items that we may not normally provide, as a sudden diet change can be stressful to your pet.
Medical Treatments and Intensive Care
Our vet nurses and trained specialist carers are more than happy to cater for any reptiles requiring medication, at an additional cost. A current history is required if your pet has any pre-existing health problems, however this can be organised with your veterinarian prior to boarding.
Add Special Care to your pet’s stay starting at $7.50 per day.
Peace of Mind, Health Checks
The health and happiness of our guests is of primary importance to us, which is why we highly recommend annual health checks for all reptiles staying with us.
