Hi everyone. Figured I’d make this post to share some resources I’ve come across that are great sources of food, supplies and healthcare for us aussie owners.
I am based in the Hunter region of NSW so some of these will be more for people in this area.
Reptile Realm (reptilerealm.com.au) - great little online store that offers primarily live feeder insects but also sells home-grow seed packs for reptiles that are all dragon safe greens and they also sell some other items like food bowls.
They offer smaller sized insect packs but you can also buy bulk insect packs with is great if you have a LOT of reptiles to feed. One of the only places I’ve found that actually sells live BSFL.
I’ve bought both like BSLF, seed packs and food bowls from this place and can confirm that they package products well, are reasonably priced and the packages arrive in a timely manner.
Sugarloaf Animal Hospital (sugarloafanimalhospital.com.au) - located in West Wallsend. This is who I go to with my two rescue dragons and I’ve found they do a great thorough job with both general checkups as well as more specific issues, imaging and procedures. Their reptile specialists really seem to know their stuff and I can highly reccomend Dr Kathy, Dr Brett and Dr Daisy. As with all ‘exotics’ it can be a little pricey but their thoroughness and expertise are well worth it.
Jonaths Animal Kingdom (www.jonathsanimalkingdom.com.au) - Located in Beresfield this is a family owned and run pet supplies store. I find they have a much better range of reptile supplies (specifically lighting) than a lot of bigger pet stores like Petbarn. Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for a decent product range.
Kellyville Pets (www.kellyvillepets.com.au) - I buy from this place online on occassion and find the products are well packaged and ship pretty quick. Again they seem to have a larger range of reptile products than Petbarn does. I’ve specifically bought lighting and a water fountain from them before and haven’t had any issues with anything.
That’s all I have for now but I do plan to update this list whenever I come across any other places worth a mention.
