🌟 November Highlights! 🌟

November is always a little quieter than the rest of the year as things wind down for Christmas and the New Year, but we’ve still entertained plenty of parties and visited lots of schools over the last few weeks!
We’ve also toasted to the 2nd birthday of both Venom the reticulated python, and of Walk on the Wild Side as a company! 🎂

It’s now time to gear up for the festive season with a very exciting December planned🎄

We’ve taken a rare Saturday off for some chill-out time, and thought it would be the perfect time to introduce a very special addition to our private collection.
He’s more than 6ft of pure muscle and attitude (no, I don’t mean Josh)!

He’s our first truly venomous snake - a false water cobra

🐍 Don’t let the name fool you: they’re not true cobras but are instead members of the colubrid family (like corn, rat, and milk snakes)
🐍 He is ‘rear-fanged’ meaning he has to chew his prey to deliver venom from enlarged fangs located at the back of his mouth
🐍 Their venom is only considered mild to humans, but hasn’t been heavily studied

He’s such a beautiful snake, but we’re finding ourselves stuck on a name for him. Please drop any name suggestions in the comments! 👇

It’s a very frosty morning ❄️No encounters for us today, giving us chance to catch up on paperwork and poo-picking! 💩

Something we’ve been curious about for a while - how big is Quintus? We broke out the tape measure today to discover that he’s exactly 4ft.

FOUR FEET! 😧

That’s a whole lot of lizard! Despite getting a little hangry when we’re late with his supper, our Quintus is a true gentle giant 🦎

Today we were back at Woodfield Nursery School to showcase our amazing tarantulas to all classes. Each and every one of the children were so brave! 🕷️
A big well done to everyone from today, this school is always a pleasure to visit 😊

No, this isn’t a boot lace, but our newest member to the reptile team 🐍 Everybody, meet Voodoo - baby Brazilian rainbow boa! These are one of our absolute favourite species because of their stunning colouration and iridescence. It’s been a good few years since we’ve had one in our collection, so we’ve got high hopes for this colourful piece of spaghetti! 🌈
