Our geckos and dart frogs get a lot of attention here at The Reptile Room but we have a lot more to see here if you look close enough! We have bugs!!! Some of the enclosures we use for our pet insects Insects, beetles, arachnids and invertebrates can make fantastic little pets for people who are short on space, who are renting and cant officially have a pet, collectors who have gotta catch em all and people who, like me, are bug enthusiasts! Heres how we care for them......

Welcoming 2026 in The Reptile Room- Ireland. We have had a fantastic start to 2026 with the arrival of two baby crested geckos, one baby mourning gecko AND MY VERY FIRST TARANTULA! Santa was very good to me this Christmas - he bought me my very first tarantula! I've wanted a T for years and finally the powers that be allowed it to happen.

This week we have had the strangest baby crested gecko hatch out, well baby geckos - conjoined twins! Smeagol and Gollum. They pipped early this morning, but by late evening there was no progress. I gently manoeuvred the egg and then candled it but there was no sign of life so I went ahead and opened it up.  They have one head, three eyes, seven arms, two tails and two twisted conjoined bodies. I wasn’t sure if I should post this but the scientist in me couldn’t not! Like all

Who's in, who's out and who's surprising us in The Reptile Room. What a month we have had! The launch of our website has been a huge boost for us and our beasties; with 14 adoptions we were able to upgrade our room heater to better maintain an ambient room temp of 22 degrees Celsius, which means that we don't have to provide supplemental heat to the geckos in The Reptile Room, (with the exception of the Klemmeri geckos who need 30.C).
