Where's best to buy red or citrus babies in the UK?

[Hindle]

Hi guys i am currently building my own viv as i am a joiner by trade so thought I would have a project. I was just wondering if there is any breeders for red or citrus babies for sale in the UK? Or is it safe to get them shipped?

I wouldnt have them shipped from abroad. I found a few breeders in the UK, they ship with specialist reptile delivery services. You may have to wait with some until clutches are ready, usually a deposit is required. I started dealing with these guys :

They were pretty cool, but we had a communication breakdown so I got impatient and bought from my local pet shop. They sell reds and leatherbacks, but not citrus. You may have better luck than me.
These people have the citrus that you are looking for, but dont expect the process to be quick. At least they tell you when each clutch is due and show you the parents. You would be best just contacting them and thell them you are interested

Ahh wicked thanks alot for that much appreicated! Also if you was to use polystyrene for inside the enclosure whats best to cover it and seal it?

Use grout, the powdered type you mix yourself. It comes in various colours or can be painted with suitable non toxic paint. A few coats of that and it looks like quite convincing stone. This might give you some ideas

I got this red baby (double het leather back) from Land of Lizards. I know some of her siblings are still available.

She is a great eater and growing at a crazy rate!

Ahh thanks for that! Just need to know the basics really because i am quite handy with wood and i currently have the outer shell to my viv at 4"x2"x2" but thats about it at the moment ha. Got my polystrene just need to purchase my grout and a few vents. Also what bulbs would you recommend for the viv off that size?
