New videos every Friday! 🎥🐍🌱

Hi! I’m Ellie from Birmingham, UK. I’ve been a reptile mum for over 7 years, and I’m passionate about keeping my scaly pets in the most natural, ethical setups possible! 🦎🐢

On this channel, you’ll find fun, educational videos covering reptile care, enclosure builds, product reviews, and more — all based on science, not guesswork. I love sharing what I’ve learned so you can give your reptiles the best life possible.

Whether you’re new to keeping reptiles or a lifelong keeper, there’s something here for you! Expect cool builds, myth-busting tips, and lots of reptile fun along the way.

Everything I share is backed by evidence. If you’d like to see my sources, just contact me via email or social media — I’m always happy to chat!

Subscribe and join me every Friday for new reptile adventures! 🌿

Hey all, Just letting you know that there is no video this week as I have been super busy in scotland searching for orca!

We have had so many sightings overall and I even got to see a couple orcas myself 🫍❤️

Back to usual scheduling next week... in the mean time, who will be attending IHS?

Hey all!
I've been up to a lot of non-reptile related stuff recently but I'd still love to share it with you all.

For instance, next week i'm heading to Scotland for 10 days to volunteer for an Orca conservation team! If you've been watching for a while then you'd know just how much I love Orcas, so I'm very excited for the opportunity.

How would you feel about some behind the scenes / non reptile related content for members only?
(Don't worry you'll still be getting the usual style videos every friday for non members!)

The other day I set up this huge bioactive enclosure for a new member of the family! A full build video will be out soon, but in the meantime…

What species do you think will be living in here? 🦎

Tomorrow marks the start of the "Building my dream Reptile Room" series!
In EP 1 I'll be walking you through the early stages of a project like this, like emptying the room, building enclosures and making backgrounds.

This has been a long and tiring process but it has 100% been worth it and I can't wait to share it with you all!

So stayed tuned for the first video at 7pm BST tomorrow night (Friday 17th April) 🐍

Cheese and I did a little photo shoot for the channel rebrand 🦎

A pink reptile room, calls for a pink banner and profile pic!

Reptile room updates will be coming soon I promise, I just want to get it all finished before I start uploading the videos.

Who’s excited to see the new room? I promise it’s worth the wait 👀

I got to hang out with this beautiful girl at the Viperia breed facility yesterday! This species is at the top of my list but unfortunately their price tag is holding me back 😭

Who can guess the species? 🐍

I’ve just gone through and made 10 separate playlists that are listed by species 🦎

Hopefully this will make it easier for you all to research certain animals!

It has also helped me realise which species I need to make more videos on, Kenyan sand boas definitely being one of them 🐍
