Our Reptile Team
the urban reptiles
When it comes to events, our urban reptiles are beautiful examples of Australian wildlife, both in appearances and temperaments. Whether its a school, fete, party or any event, our reptile team are a great addition to the event.
Merlin
Blue Tongue lizard
Merlin is the friendliest blue tongue we know, especially if food is involved.
Blue tongues like Merlin are a common Australian skink. They use their awesome blue tongues to smell and scare off predators.
Jeff and Dorothy
Shingle back Lizard
Jeff and Dorothy love two things, sleeping and eating strawberries!
They are shingle back lizards from the goldfield region in Western Australia. These guys look like they have 2 heads because of their stumpy little tails.
Liza
Central Bearded dragon
Liza looks really spikey and scary but don’t let her fool you, she is a big softy.
Bearded dragons like Liza stick out that beautiful, orange beard of spikes to scare off predators. They also flatten out to look like a big spikey pancake.
Rose
Frill Neck dragon
Rose is a bit of a sensitive lizard, she is doesn’t like change at all!
That beautiful big frill is one of Australia’s most iconic displays. Frillies like Rose spend almost all of their time in trees and rarely come down.
Fat Albert
green tree frog
Fat Albert loves only two things in life, crickets and cockroaches! Yuk!
Green tree frogs like Fat Albert have really special skin, they can breathe and drink through their skin. Frogs can even change the colour of their skin.
David Beckham
Short Neck Turtle
David Beckham unlike his name sake is not great at soccer, his claws would puncture the ball.
Turtles like David Backham are freshwater turtles that are great diggers. They love to eat plants, crustaceans and bugs!
Edison
Darwin Python
Edison was named cause he is bright like a lightbulb, however, he is by far the silliest snake at Urban Reptiles. He regularly ties himself into knots he cant untangle.
Edison is an albino Darwin python.
Tangles
JUngle Python
Tangles joined our family as a young jungle python.
She loves climbing which makes sense for a ‘jungle’ python. Jungle pythons are found in Northern Qld up in the rain forests.

He can be a bit wriggly to hold especially as he’s very heavy.
Nova
Carpet Python
Nova is our gentle giant! She is an awesome carpet python at three meters.
Nova joined our family as an older lady . Carpet pythons like Nova are really common around Brisbane. They are one of the more impressive animals in Brisbane.
Aurum
Black-headed python
Aurie looks dangerous but is just a calm teenage python.
Aurum is a black-headed python so he will grow much bigger than he is now. In the wild these guys love to eat reptiles (even venomous snakes and goannas) so we always need to keep a close eye on him.
Maple
Rough Scale Python
Maple is a young lady with still a bit of growing to do.
Her beautiful rough scale have a very different feel to our other pythons and just look at those beautiful blue eyes!
They are only found is a small area in WA.

These pythons are found through the centre of Australia and parts of WA.
She loves to dig around in sand.

He loves to climb all over you and then give you a little kiss on his way to the top of your head.
Diamond pythons are found in NSW in places like Sydney.
Gonzalez
Eastern Water Dragon
Gonzale loves his food and then going for a good swim afterwards.
They are local to our greater Brisbane area and often visit us in our yards.
He is a beautiful young man with a bright red chest and a very long tail but he is still a little shy.
Lilly
Green and Golden Bell Frogs
Lilly is one of our 7 Green and Golden Bells. Sadly these frogs are an endangered species.
When it rains these guys love to sit around their water and croak all night long. Its sound a little like a motor bike.
We feed them maily crickets but frogs will eat anything that moves.
Rango
Eastern Bearded Dragon
Rango is a shy young man that lets you know if he’s a bit grummpy by changing his beard colour to black.
Eastern beardy’s are a little more spikey than central bearded dragons.
These dragons are local to the outer areas of Brisbane and can be seen darting accross the roads at full speed.
Buddy
Eastern Long-Neck Turtle
Buddy is one our smaller turtle species.
These turtles are also known as the snake-neck turtle. If scared they tuck their head sideways into their shell. They do not go completely in their shells. They love to eat small fish, tadpoles and any insects that mey fall into their water.
Thorn
Frilled-neck Lizard
Thorn is a typical frilly, everything scares them. When scared they flare up their frill, open their mouth and stand on thier back legs.
As he gets older he is becoming calmer and doesn’t mind a bit of a cuddle now.
Vegetables are not his thing, moving bugs are more appealing to him.
Captain Black Beard
Central Bearded Dragon
Capt Black Beard is a dragon with lots of personality. Every morning his beard is jet black as he gets a little grumpy until he has his breakfast.
He also thinks he is the Captain of the reptile room and will head bob anyone that looks at him.
