Eastern Painted Turtle
One of four painted-turtle subspecies - smaller, plainer and a bit harder to keep than the western form, but a classic, hardy North American pet with a red-edged shell.
Burmese Star Tortoise
A beautifully starred tortoise from Myanmar, once thought extinct in the wild and now the focus of an intense captive-breeding rescue - a true conservation emblem.
Flame Turtle
A flame-pattern morph popular in the pet trade - in practice a richly marked red-eared slider or painted-turtle lineage rather than a separate species.
Florida Box Turtle
A strikingly patterned subspecies of the common box turtle from Florida, with a high domed shell, a hinged plastron, and a lifespan that can exceed a century.
Albino Ball Python
The albino ball python is a colour morph of the royal python (Python regius) from west and central Africa — a famously docile constrictor that curls into a tight ball when stressed, and a mainstay of the pet-python trade.
Dione Rat-snake
The Dione rat-snake (Elaphe dione) is a widespread, docile, non-venomous colubrid of northern China and across temperate Asia — a hardy feeder-snake and a popular beginner pet snake.
Flying Dragon (Draco)
The flying dragons (Draco) are agamid lizards whose elongated rib pairs spread wing-like patagia, letting them truly glide between trees — unlike the non-gliding agamas, this is the real 'flying lizard' of Asian rainforests.
Black Spiny-tailed Iguana
The Black Spiny-tailed Iguana (Ctenosaura similis) reaches about 1 m as an adult, gray with black cross-bands, though mainly green as a juvenile. Diurnal and arboreal, it is more aggressive than the green iguana and needs long taming — not for beginners or homes with young children.
Iverson’s Turtle
Iverson's Turtle (Mauremys iversoni), also called the Fujian stone turtle, is a China-endemic turtle found only in Fujian and Guizhou. Very rare, it is listed under China's protected-wildlife category, and its taxonomic status is debated — some research suggests it may be a hybrid.
Red-headed Side-necked Turtle
The red-headed side-necked turtle (Platemys platycephala) is a flat-headed South American side-neck from the Amazon and Orinoco basins, with a dark orange-red head. Shy and cold-sensitive, it is best kept much like a box turtle.
