Expert reptile husbandry to help your animals thrive - not just survive
PRO Herpetology is an observational approach to reptile and amphibian husbandry.
Built from real animals, real behaviour, and the gap between care sheets and reality. Based in Solihull in the UK, we are dedicated to helping you provide the best possible environment and care for your reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. Species-specific and individual husbandry advice, enclosure optimisation, consultations, and evidence-based reptile care.

Tales from the Vivarium
Every reptile has a story to tell. These are ours.
From remarkable rescues and fascinating natural history to behavioural observations and the science behind modern husbandry, our tales explore the animals we've encountered and the lessons they've taught us.
Some stories will make you laugh, others might challenge what you thought you knew. But each offers a glimpse into the lives of these extraordinary animals and reminds us why understanding them is the foundation of better husbandry.
Species specific care guides
Looking for a care sheet?
Whether you're preparing for a new reptile or amphibian or reviewing the care of an existing animal, we're here to help.
Email us to request a species-specific PRO Herpetology care sheet. Tell us a little about the animal you're keeping, or planning to keep, and we'll help you get started with the information you need.
Good husbandry starts with understanding. Let's start a conversation.
One-on-one appointments
Expert Advice, Tailored to Your Reptile.
Every reptile is an individual, and good husbandry isn't always as simple as following a care sheet. Our personalised consultations offer practical, evidence-based guidance tailored to your animal's specific needs, behaviour and environment.
Whether you're facing a husbandry challenge, planning an enclosure upgrade or simply looking to improve your animal's quality of life, we're here to help. Drawing on years of hands-on experience and an understanding of natural history, we'll work with you to identify practical solutions that support better welfare and encourage natural behaviour.
Frozen Food
Quality Frozen Food for Healthy Reptiles.
Good nutrition is an essential part of responsible reptile husbandry, and choosing the right food is about more than simply filling a stomach. Our range of frozen reptile food offers convenient, reliable feeding options to help you meet the dietary requirements of your animals.
Whether you're feeding snakes, lizards or other carnivorous reptiles, we're here to help you select appropriately sized prey and establish sensible feeding routines. With practical experience and an understanding of species-specific nutritional needs, we aim to make feeding straightforward, informed and focused on your animal's long-term health and welfare.
