About us

Welcome to Pandas Pods & Friends, a family‑run passion project created by myself, Amanda, and my son Tyler, who is now 14. What began as a simple Instagram page to share our love for all creatures great and small—from reptiles and amphibians to invertebrates—has grown into a wonderful part of our lives. It has connected us with an incredible community of like‑minded keepers, breeders, and nature enthusiasts that we never knew existed.

Over time, our extended family of critters has grown, and you’ll find plenty of photos in our gallery showcasing the many species we care for. Every animal here is a beloved pet, raised with dedication, respect, and proper husbandry.

We proudly offer handling sessions across the UK, giving people the chance to meet and learn about these amazing animals up close. Booking forms are available on our website.

From time to time, we have captive‑bred animals available for sale when our breeding projects are successful. We only sell captive‑bred animals—never wild‑caught, unless clearly stated (which is extremely rare). We believe the hobby should be accessible to everyone, so we keep our pricing fair and reflective of that value.

We are also working on special breeding projects aimed at producing captive‑bred invertebrates that are typically only available as wild‑caught. Our hope is to support the hobby while helping reduce pressure on natural habitats and wild populations.

For reputable reptile and invertebrate stores, we offer wholesale pricing on captive‑bred stock. Please feel free to email us for more information.

Alongside our animals, we’re a creative pair and love making things. You’ll find handmade enclosure décor, practical items like bowls, and fun critter‑themed creations available for purchase as well.

We hope you enjoy exploring our page. If you need anything or would like to make a request, please reach out through our contact page—we’re always happy to help.
