Reptile Boarding

Tips, tricks and advice from the experts

You have a great holiday and we care for your pet.

We love looking after reptiles and getting to know the character of your pets.

Reptile Holiday Boarding at Evolution Reptiles

If you need someone to care for your reptile while you’re away, our team at Evolution Reptiles is ready to help. We genuinely enjoy looking after reptiles and getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Because we have years of hands‑on experience, we provide safe, reliable holiday boarding for snakes, lizards, amphibians, and invertebrates.

Expert Care You Can Trust

We run a fully insured, dedicated in‑store reptile boarding area designed around the specific needs of each species. Every day, we care for bearded dragons, leopard geckos, corn snakes, royal pythons, mantis, tarantulas, frogs, and many other reptiles and exotics. As a result, your pet receives consistent, knowledgeable care throughout their stay.

Booking & Availability

Because space fills quickly—especially during school holidays and peak travel periods—we encourage you to book early. We only offer in‑store boarding and do not provide home‑visit services.

Animal Boarding Terms and Conditions

1. Boarding Eligibility

Evolution Reptiles provides holiday boarding exclusively for reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. We do not accept mammals, birds or any other animals.

All animals must arrive healthy, feeding normally, and free from contagious diseases or parasites. Because your pet’s welfare comes first, we assess every animal at drop‑off. If an animal appears unwell, underweight, or poses a risk to others, we will decline boarding to protect both your pet and the rest of our collection.

Additionally, we encourage owners to check their reptile’s condition before travelling, especially during seasonal changes or after recent veterinary treatment. By ensuring your pet arrives in good health, you help us provide safe, consistent care throughout their stay.

2. Booking & Payment

All boarding must be booked in advance. We cannot accept walk‑in bookings.

To secure your space:

  • A non‑refundable deposit is required at the time of booking.
  • Full payment is taken at drop‑off.
  • We accept cash, credit cards and debit cards.

3. Cancellation Policy

  • 14+ days before drop‑off: Your deposit is credited to your account for future boarding or store purchases.
  • 7 days before drop‑off: A late cancellation fee of £50 (or the cost of the booking, whichever is lower) applies. Any remaining balance becomes store credit or can be used for future boarding.
  • Less than 48 hours before drop‑off: The deposit is fully forfeited.
  • After boarding begins: No refunds are given for early collection.

4. Health & Welfare

We reserve the right to decline boarding if an animal shows signs of illness, injury, parasites, or any condition that may compromise welfare. To ensure a safe environment for every pet, all animals must arrive healthy, feeding normally, and completely free from contagious diseases or parasites.

When you arrive for drop‑off, our team carries out a quick welfare check. If we notice that an animal appears unwell, underweight, stressed, or poses a risk to others, we will decline boarding. This approach allows us to protect your pet, safeguard the rest of our collection, and maintain the highest possible welfare standards.

For a smoother experience, we encourage you to check your reptile’s condition before travelling, especially after recent veterinary treatment or any changes in behaviour. By bringing your pet in good health, you help us provide consistent, safe, and species‑appropriate care throughout their stay.

5. Personal Belongings

All items brought with your animal must be clearly labelled with your name. Evolution Reptiles cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage to personal belongings.

6. Feeding & Daily Care

We follow your care instructions and provide regular feeding, monitoring and husbandry. Any special dietary needs must be discussed before drop‑off.

7. Medical Emergencies

If a medical emergency occurs during your pet’s stay, we will contact you immediately. However, if we cannot reach you, we will act quickly to protect your animal’s welfare. In these situations, we may seek urgent veterinary care on your behalf, and you will cover all related costs, including travel time and any treatment fees.

By taking this approach, we ensure your pet receives prompt, appropriate care even when you’re unavailable, keeping their safety as our top priority.

9. Liability

We take all reasonable steps to ensure the health, safety and comfort of animals in our care. However, Evolution Reptiles cannot be held responsible for illness, injury or loss of life during the boarding period.

Owners must sign a liability waiver before boarding begins.
