Stowaway Gecko Rehoming Package
Stowaway Geckos are not to be handled. The Stowaway geckos we get here at the RSPCA Reptile Rescue are wild animals. They have accidentally come to us when hiding in peoples luggage when on returning from holidays.
Due to these geckos being wild animals we want to provide them a stress free life with the most up to date care.
White’s Tree Frogs Rehoming Package
The White’s tree frog is a green or blue-green frog native to Australia, Indonesia, and New Guinea. It’s a popular frog because of its petite size and facial expressions, which include sleepy-looking eyes and a smiling mouth. Its skin also has a waxy coating that allows them to tolerate more arid conditions than other common tree frog species, making them a better match for home environments.
Rankins Dragon Rehoming Package
Rankin’s Dragons are often overlooked in favour of their Bearded Dragon relatives which are more common and well known (check out our Bearded Dragon guide if you’re interested). In nature, they inhabit the arid, rocky regions of Australia.

Sulcata Tortoise Rehoming Package
Sulcata tortoises (Geochelone sulcata) also known as the African spurred tortoise, are a unique pet tortoise to care for.
They are one of the largest tortoise species in the world and are often seen in zoos and conservatories. Despite this, the sulcata tortoise has also become quite popular in the reptile trade in recent years.
This species can live for over 100 years.
Royal Python Rehoming Package
Royal pythons, also known as ball pythons, are a small to medium-sized snake species native to West and Central Africa. They are named “ball” pythons because of their tendency to curl into a tight ball when stressed or threatened. Known for their calm demeanor, they make popular pets due to their manageable size (typically 3 to 5 feet long) and gentle temperament. These snakes are nocturnal and primarily feed on small mammals, such as mice and rats. With proper care, they can live for 20-30 years in captivity.
Pacman Frog Rehoming Package
The Pacman frog, also known as the South American horned frog, is a popular pet due to its distinctive round, bulky body and large mouth, which resembles the classic video game character Pac-Man. Native to the rainforests of South America, these frogs are ambush predators that rely on their camouflaged appearance to capture prey, including insects, small rodents, and even other frogs. They are typically low-maintenance but require a humid environment and a diet rich in protein. Despite their small size, they have a surprisingly strong bite.
Musk Turtle Rehoming Package
The common musk turtle is a member of the family Kinosternidae. It has a blackish-brown carapace that is highly domed with a vertebral keel. The keel tends to flatten out in adults, but is very prominent in hatchlings and juveniles. The plastron is reduced in size. The head of the common musk turtle typically has two distinct parallel yellow stripes that extend from the nose to the neck, though these may fade in older animals.
Leopard Gecko Rehoming Package
The leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius) is a small to medium-sized, nocturnal lizard native to arid regions of Afghanistan, Pakistan, northwestern India, and parts of Iran. They are popular pets due to their docile nature, ease of care, and distinct spotted appearance, which resembles the coat of a leopard.
