Florida Snapping Turtle
The most heavily-spined of the four Chelydra subspecies - a fierce, heat-loving carnivore from Florida and Georgia. Adults are aggressive; a meat or farm turtle more than a pet.
Helmeted Turtle
A common, hardy African side-neck turtle - small, gregarious, a strong carnivore, and a good tropical-community water turtle (no brumation).
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.
Red-tailed Boa
The Red-tailed Boa (Boa constrictor) is a large, non-venomous constricting snake with variable coloration and an average lifespan of 20–30 years. One of the most striking snakes, it has 10 recognized subspecies.
Flattened Musk Turtle
The Flattened Musk Turtle (Sternotherus depressus) is a small, critically imperiled musk turtle endemic to the Black Warrior River system in Alabama, USA. With a distinctly flattened shell and a shy, nocturnal nature, it is prized by keepers but almost never captive-bred, and habitat loss has left only about 15% of healthy populations.
South American Snapping Turtle
The South American Snapping Turtle (Chelydra acutirostris) is a large, heavily built chelydrid ranging from Honduras and Nicaragua through Costa Rica and Panama to Colombia and Ecuador. Fierce-looking and meaty, it is a popular but challenging pet, and nearly all specimens in trade are wild-caught.
Burmese Black Turtle
The Burmese Black Turtle (Melanochelys trijuga indopeninsularis) is one of the seven subspecies of the Indian black turtle (three-keeled turtle). Common in Chinese pet markets — almost all sourced from wild capture — it is inexpensive but plain-looking, so it is kept in modest numbers.
Radiated Ratsnake
The Radiated Ratsnake (Coelognathus radiatus), also called the Tri-rope Beauty Snake, is a non-venomous colubrid from southern China and Southeast Asia. It is protected in China under the 'Three-Have' wildlife list and is best not taken from the wild.
Brazilian Orange Tarantula
The Brazilian orange tarantula (Nhandu carapoensis) is a large, striking New-World tarantula from the Brazilian rainforest. Its urticating hairs are more irritating than most and it is nervous and quick to kick hair, so it is best left to experienced collectors rather than first-time keepers.
