Codicote Reptiles is the home of Matthew Payne and Jade Finnecy.

We have been keeping exotics for a number of years and have gathered a wealth of knowledge and experience.
We keep several species here including a variety of snakes, lizards, amphibians, turtles and invertebrates.
Aside from our love of the cold blooded we also have a soft spot for furries! We have ferrets an African pygmy hedgehog, a big white bunny and two house cats Douglas and Annabelle!

ENTERTAINMENT SERVICES
We are fully insured to take our animals out to meet and greet, both at public events and private functions!
We are available for any function, from birthday and private parties to scout troop and school talks!
We can bring a variety of animals (all of which can be handled) including snakes, lizards, amphibians and inverts to our events and we pride ourselves on giving the best experience we can.

If you are interested in booking us, or would like any further information about this service please feel free to get in touch with us!

BREEDING
We have bred a number of our snakes here. In 2017 we are having quite a quiet year, only pairing Pueblan and Mexican milk snakes. You can keep up with all our breeding projects on our page as well as see our current list of available animals! Feel free to ask for updates on our progress, as well as our future plans : )

FOR SALE
Our current availability list will always be pinned to the top of our page. All the snakes we sell are guaranteed 100% healthy and feeding when they leave here. We will not sell any animal that isn't ready for its new home and we reserve the right to take any snake off sale at any time if for any reason we are unhappy with its condition. We would much rather keep an animal then let it go before it's ready.

Any animal we have for sale that was not born here will have spent a minimum of 6 weeks with us and will need to meet the same standards as any animal bred by ourselves.

All our snakes can come with all records of their time here and a lifetime of aftercare advise should you need it. We'd rather you ask us what you think to be a silly question then for you to worry about your pet!

ENCLOSURES
We also have the capacity to sell our snakes with enclosures all of which are subject to availability but can all be ordered on request. We can supply plastic faunariums as well as wooden vivariums with or without all other items required for a setup.
Feel free to ask if you are looking for something that we don't stock and we'll be happy to see if we can source it for you. As well as equipment, if there are any animals you're looking for but cannot find feel free to try us too. If we can help source something for you we'd be happy to help.

DELIVERY
We are more than happy to courier our snakes and equipment certain distances for fuel cost. Price on request.

REPTILE SITTING
We also offer an in house pet sitting service. If you have a number of animals and boarding simply isn't an option, we can offer to look after your pets in your own home! Rates for this service are dependant on distance / job description so feel free to message us with what you'd like us to do and we can quote you a price. Prices are negotiable for this service. We obviously specialise in reptiles but we're more than happy to look after any animals you may have. From dogs and cats to small furries and birds.

HELP & ASSISTANCE
We're more than happy to share our knowledge and advise where we can. We can also take in or even temporarily board snakes with minor health issues, non-feeders or aggressive snakes to try and get them back on track (veterinary and food costs as well as a small contribution to our cause will need to be met by owner in the case of temporary boarding). We have a very high success rate for finding the feed response in the most stubborn of snakes! We also have an incredible reptile vet who shows a great love and passion for the animals.

REHOMING
We get a number of animals left with us here for a number of reasons. Many of which require veterinary treatment as well as space, housing, feeding, cleaning and general care and attention. Due to our limited space here most animals left with us will be rehomed once we are happy with their condition (NEVER before, no exceptions) We will always put a small rehoming fee on them to ensure a suitable home is found.

CAN YOU HELP?
Yes. If you would like to help us continue our work. We are always grateful for any donations. Whether it be enclosures or equipment that you may have spare or monetary donations are naturally always welcome!

REVIEWS
We are always very pleased to hear of your experiences with us. Any feedback on how we can improve our service is always very much appreciated! There is a review section to our page which we are very proud of. If you have had an experience with us, feel free to leave your thoughts there for others to read : )

Feel free to message us anytime : )
Viewings of our animals are happily organised on request.
