Educational Evenings
Join us each month for our Educational Evenings – relaxed, informative sessions designed for adults and hobbyists who want to deepen their understanding of reptile care, welfare, and husbandry.
Each evening explores a different theme, from bioactive setups and nutrition to first aid and enrichment. You’ll learn practical skills, see live demonstrations, and have the chance to ask questions, share experiences, and connect with other reptile keepers.
Each session lasts around an hour and is held at the end of every month, starting in the new year!
