About Us
Specialists in exotic pet keeping. We have a wide range of products and want the best for every animal.
Since 2019, we have been helping customers all over the UK make the best choices for their reptiles and other exotic pets. Starting out as a vivarium builder; HerpXotics are industry experts and have seen it all when it comes to poorly made and overpriced animal enclosures. We wanted to be better and stand out above the rest, and we believe we have done so with our unique vivarium design.
Coming from a retail background we take pride in our customer service, we aim to help people make the right decision to ensure their animals have long and happy lives. Whether it’s some of our ‘off-the-shelf’ tanks, tortoise tables, vivariums and racking systems or a completely custom designed enclosure – we can help.
Our high quality PVC enclosures are built to last, and have much longer lifespans than more commonly seen wooden vivaria. Through extensive research, many hours of designing and a passion for what we do – we believe we have cracked the formula for perfect long-lasting reptile housing.
We built our first 33lt RUB rack in 2019, after a lengthy design phase, and our enclosure range has grown progressively since then. Our design means we have better insulating properties than other racks and the modular form means you can start out small and extend whenever you need to, without having to rebuy.
All of our products are created using 13mm PVC plastic (most companies use 10mm) and 4mm toughened glass (most companies use normal glass). Our products are cut using a CNC machine, we currently have 2 on site. Using these machines means all edges are neat and smooth cuts.
For our vivarium’s we developed a unique ventilation systems, holes are drilled into the vivarium’s meaning animals can not push out and escape, no need to glue or screw them in! An additional backing can be added to take the holes from 5mm to 3mm.
In the snake racks, all heat mats are individually recessed into the shelves so tubs slide in/out with ease. Ventilation and plug holes are already cut into them. Unique stacking design to safely stack multiple racks.
Our tortoise tables have toughened glass viewing areas.
Arboreal vivarium’s have a deeper bottom plinth, allowing extra room for substrate for digging, behaviours or for adding live plants.
All enclosures 1200mm long or longer, have a central plinth machined into the design, making the vivarium stronger with no sagging or bending at the front
Our enclosure range continues to grow and we are always looking at new designs and styles to offer our valued customers across the UK.
Following the success of our reptile enclosures we wished to improve the care of the animals contained within them by releasing top quality general care products. This started with the release of our range of coco-based reptile beddings: HerpChip, HerpHusk and HerpCoir.
Our Coco and Coir substrates are made from the husk of coconuts. As a by-product of the coconut farming industry; they are 100% organic, sustainably sourced and perfect for all reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. It holds humidity very well, making it perfect for animals from humid environments that require high levels of moisture.
The HerpXotics range has continued to grow and 2024 has seen the addition of a range of metal snake hooks and tongs; enclosure disinfectants; professional reptile egg incubators; feeding ledges; display stands and more!
We aim to continue to focus on producing top quality, reliable reptile keeping products at competitive prices.
