About me

First and for most i am a passionate keeper of exotic animals and have been for over 30 years. It all started for me when i was 8 years old and received my first ever pet reptile. He was a Common garter snake and i knew very little about his care. In those days the standard advice was to house him in a fish tank with a light bulb for heat, and to feed him worms and fish fingers. Thankfully we have come a long way since then and our knowledge or reptile and amphibian husbandry has come on leaps and bounds.

I have witnessed the hobby move out of the back rooms and into the mainstream as exotic pets now out number Cats and dogs as the most commonly kept animals in captivity.

With Cats and Dogs its common practice to board or hire a sitter for your animals if you are away from home, sadly this practice isn't as common place in the reptile side of the pet trade.

I have set up Frogeyes reptile sitters as a way to change this. 

Over the years i have seen the good, the bad and the ugly of this hobby, with animal rights companies, poor keeping practices and bad news stories giving an incorrect perception of our hobby.

Owning exotic animals is an honour and something we should never take for granted. I have been fortunate to keep and breed nnumerous species of snakes, tortoises, lizards and bugs over my 30 plus years in the hobby. 

I can talk for hours on end about my passion for our animals and often end up doing just this when i meet a like minded keeper.

At Frogeyes reptile sitters i want to offer a service that's reliable and discreet to all reptile keepers which ensures your animals health is not endangered when you have to leave them alone for more then a couple of days.

By choosing me you are leveraging my 30 plus years of experience to help give you piece of mind that your animals are in safe hands
