About Us
Presto Exotic Pets
Preston Exotic Pets is a specialist exotic pet and reptile store dedicated to responsible animal care, quality products, and honest advice.
We’re passionate about reptiles, birds, invertebrates, and exotic animals of all kinds, and we believe that keeping them should be both rewarding and done properly. Whether you’re new to the hobby or a long-time keeper, our goal is to support you with the right animals, the right equipment, and the right guidance.
Our shop offers a carefully selected range of exotic pets alongside everything needed to care for them properly — including enclosures, heating and lighting, thermostats, substrates, live and artificial plants, bioactive supplies, décor, and a full range of live, frozen, and dry foods. Every product we stock is chosen because we trust it and use it ourselves.
Animal welfare is at the heart of what we do. We take pride in maintaining high standards of husbandry, sourcing responsibly, and ensuring every animal is healthy and well cared for. We’re always happy to talk through setups, answer questions, and help customers make informed decisions that are right for both them and the animal.
At Preston Exotic Pets, we’re more than just a shop — we’re a place for advice, education, and a genuine love of exotic animals.
Our Mission
At Preston Exotic Pets, animal welfare and responsible ownership are at the core of everything we do. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of care, ethical sourcing, and husbandry for all exotic animals in our care.
We believe exotic pets should only be kept with the correct knowledge, environment, and long-term commitment. Our mission is to educate and support keepers by providing honest, informed advice, properly maintained animals, and equipment that meets each species’ specific needs.
We actively promote responsible decision-making, discourage impulse purchases, and work to ensure every animal leaves our care healthy, well-supported, and placed in a suitable home. Through education, transparency, and high standards, we aim to raise the level of exotic pet care within our community.
Why Choose Us
Welfare comes first
Animal health and welfare are our top priority. Every animal in our care is housed, fed, and maintained to high standards, with setups designed around the needs of each species — not convenience or volume.
Honest, knowledgeable advice
We take the time to give clear, accurate guidance based on experience, not sales targets. If something isn’t suitable, we’ll say so. We believe responsible ownership starts with informed decisions.
Ethically sourced animals
We work with trusted, responsible breeders and suppliers and do not support unethical or unsustainable practices. Impulse purchases are discouraged, and we ensure animals are matched to appropriate keepers.
Quality equipment you can trust
All equipment we stock — from heating and lighting to enclosures and substrates — is chosen because it performs reliably and meets real husbandry requirements. We only sell products we would use ourselves.
Support beyond the sale
Our commitment doesn’t end at the till. We’re always happy to help with setup advice, ongoing care questions, and problem-solving as your animal grows and its needs change.
A responsible, specialist store
We’re not a general pet shop. We are a specialist exotic store focused on education, welfare, and long-term care — providing a safe, professional environment for both animals and keepers.
