Family-run reptile shops in the UK
Hello from Jenna, Kyle and family! We run Jungle Reptiles along with our team of reptile enthusiasts.
A bit more about us…
We are a family run business specialising in reptile and exotic animal care. We cater towards the dietary requirements of reptiles in the form of live foods, frozen food and dry food as well as all the housing, electrical and species-specific decor you may need for your animals.
Our main goal is to ensure we are constantly educating and keeping ourselves and our customers up to date with the latest advances in reptile keeping. 5-star welfare has always been the main priority within our business and we want to make sure that the animals we keep and sell not only survive within their new homes but also continue to thrive.
We always push for naturalistic and well enriched care, whilst also being sympathetic towards everyone’s financial and personal situations. We provide full specialist setups where we have carefully compiled all the best equipment, whilst still providing budget friendly options. We want to match people with their perfect reptile companions, so coming in and chatting with one of our qualified and friendly staff members is the best way for us to advise on what would suit you best.
We provide a number of services in store, ranging from sexing, nail clipping, holiday boarding, basic health checks, as well as equipment assembly services. We also provide a rehoming service as we understand that situations can change and we want to provide a non-judgement zone to ensure we do the best we can for these animals and get them into new homes.
You can find us in two locations: Iver and Moss End. We appreciate every customer who has purchased from us, and we want to make sure everyone has the right knowledge and tools needed when buying an animal — as well as further offering our knowledge and help for the future.
Love from all of us here at The Jungle Reptiles x
Meet our reptile experts
Jenna
I've been keeping reptiles for most of my life and started breeding a lot of the more common species kept today while still keeping and breeding things like Bearded Dragons, Leopard Geckos and boas. I have a very extensive collection of Crested Geckos and really enjoy the huge array of colour mutations the species has to offer. I also keep and breed new Caledonian gecko species, and a fair few leaf tailed geckos (uroplatus). I really enjoy keeping and breeding a lot of the madagascan species too, including the Chameleons and Dumerils boas.
I opened the Jungle Reptiles in Iver in 2007 and since then have opened a shop in Bourne End and now more recently Moss End. Together with my team of reptile enthusiasts we strive to set a good example of how to keep reptiles in captivity for others to see and replicate in naturalistic and bio active enclosures.

With a history in exotic mammal and equine care, I originally joined Jungle Reptiles as a volunteer wanting to diversify my knowledge before my animal management studies. I fell in love with the store, the people and of course the animals — choosing to become full time and learn practically while on the job.
Now I am proud of my extensive animal collection and multiple breeding projects all supported by the store. I have a particular soft spot for those with a sob story or anything big and cuddly.

I’ve been working as part of the Jungle Reptiles team for a year and a half. My favourite things about working with the Jungle is all the amazing animals that we look after, helping our wonderful customers expand their knowledge and find the best reptile for them and developing my knowledge further along the way. My favourite animals in shop to work with have to be our snakes 🐍 and our tegu. At home, I have 4 crested geckos of my own and a royal Python (and it won’t stop there!)

Well, I’m a chameleon. And I was tired of blending into the background in my old job — I was a sniper in the army.
I was a master of camouflage but not so great at sniping. I was discharged from the army when I accidentally shot my sergeant in the backside.
Life as a civilian was tough at first. No one seemed to notice me. I’d go for a walk in the woods and people would brush right past me.
I tried to get different jobs, but everyone said the same thing: they couldn’t see me in the role.
Eventually I came across Jungle Reptiles and they gave me a job! Here I get to work with great humans and brilliant creatures.
I like to play hide and seek after work. I’m especially good at disappearing when it’s my turn to clean out the tanks, or buy drinks for everyone at the pub.
