We need your support
You'll appreciate that it costs a substantial amount of money to keep Reptilicious Reptiles open. We are entirely reliant on the generosity of the general public and our members to provide heat, light, equipment, food etc, and also to fund the collection and delivery of animals. All donations are welcome, however little it may be. If you would like to donate anything including equipment or even food for the animals, we would be most grateful.
100% of all monies received go directly to the upkeep of the animals in our care. We have no paid staff.
Its takes a lot to keep a place like this running, the basic running costs themselves are significant each month, that's before money has been spent on medical treatment and enclosure improvements. Therefore any donation is gratefully received.
Helping doesn't always have to involve giving money, as there are plenty of other ways in which you can help us. Below are some examples:
CASH FOR CLOTHES
Are you due a wardrobe clearout? Or perhaps your children have outgrown their old clothes.... either way, here at Proteus we take in unwanted clothes and are able to trade them in for much needed cash for our reptiles.
Below is a list of all the items we can trade:
Any unwanted CLEAN clothes
Old shoes, trainers, flip flop
Bed linen such as duvet covers, pillowcases, sheets, blankets
Old handbags
KEEPING OUR REPTILES WARM
Reptilious spends hundreds of pounds each year on replacing heat bulbs which are essential in maintaining our reptiles health. We mainly use the following bulbs at the moment:
-
Bayonet spot bulbs in Green, Red and White (40 watt)
-
Bayonet spot bulbs in Green, Red and White (60 watt)
-
Bayonet spot bulbs in Green, Red and White (100 watt)
-
Bayonet spot bulbs in Green Red and White (150 watt)
-
Screw fitting spot bulbs Green Red and White (100 watt)
-
Screw fitting spot bulbs in Red or White (150 watt)
We also use the occassional UV heat although we appreciate that these aren't the cheapest!
So if you have the odd spare bulb or no longer have a use for yours, please consider donating them to us.
