Marks Exotics
Reptile and amphibian hobbyist and breeder.
Let me introduce myself....
I'm Mark of Marks Exotics . I have been a small hobbyist keeper and breeder of various reptiles and amphibians for over 20 years. This is not just a hobby for me, but a passion. I also love interaction between other keepers and fellow breeders to improve on our husbandry skills and in turn provide better care, breeding and enrichment for our captive animals.
Currently as well as a few long term favorite animals I'm also working with a select few species that deserve more popularity and focus within our hobby here in the UK to help them become more obtainable.
These include obligatory egg feeding dartfrogs of both Oophaga pumillio and Oophaga histrionica. Various Uroplatus leaf tailed geckos an endearing group of geckos found exclusively on the island of Madagascar. The strikingly coloured Lygodactylus williamsi, the Electric Blue Day Geckos and the ever curious Lamprolepis smaragdina the Emerald Green Tree Skinks, with more projects in the wings.
I feel very strongly on each animals husbandry requirements, and may ask to see your set up or ask husbandry questions if you are buying animals from me. This is only to ensure the best start for your new animal. if you need help achieving this, I'm happy to help.
If you have any questions regarding any of my animals or simply just need some help. please get in touch, I'm more than happy to help.
I recommend methods and husbandry that have and do work for me and the animals I keep, this is by no means the only way to do things. If you are finding alternative ways working better, reach out. Lets have a discussion. I'm always happy to learn and improve my own care methods and interested to hear how others do things both in regards to care and enrichment.
