DJL Exotics
Specialist Reptile Breeders & Animal Experiences
At DJL Exotics, we’re passionate about reptiles. We specialise in captive-bred snakes and geckos, offering high-quality pets, and unique, fun and hands-on animal experiences for families.
All our reptiles are hatched and raised in our purpose-built, 5★ licensed reptile room, cared for to the highest welfare standards. Daily handling ensures they are friendly, well-adjusted, and ready to join your family. Our breeding focuses on temperament, health, and structure, often enhancing special morphs while always prioritising welfare.
Meet Our Animals
At DJL Exotics, we care for a wide variety of amazing animals, from our much-loved Dumeril’s Boa and Royal Pythons to some of our smallest residents, including millipedes and other invertebrates. Every animal has its own unique personality, and we love introducing families to them during animal experiences.
We also run small, carefully managed breeding projects for leopard geckos, corn snakes, western hognose snakes, and ball pythons. Our focus is always on health, calm temperaments, and responsible breeding, so our animals are well-started, confident, and ready to thrive in their new homes.
Before and after taking your new reptile family member home, you get full support from us.
