Mr.Grumpy the snapping turtle

Most of the animals we chose to bring to shows are chill and friendly, but there are a few exceptions.

Mr. Grumpy is an alligator snapping turtle. Obviously, he is always very grumpy. That’s typical of this species. The healthier these turtles are the angrier they can get to scare you.

Many people like our gentle animals. But if you think no one likes Mr. Grumpy you’re wrong. People are scared of him but at the same time fascinated by the unique nature of him. He has a lot of fans indeed! Are you one of his fans?

 

Introducing Ajani the African tortoise

Have you met / fed this awesome gigantic tortoise in our shows?

Ajani is the alpha male of our African tortoise gang. The name Ajani comes from the African origin meaning a warrior who fights for possession and wins the struggle. As a leader, Ajani keeps the tortoise gang in order and stops other tortoises from fighting for fruits (mainly because he will grab all the juiciest fruits before anyone else) The strategy is that he will push the food to a corner and occupy the entire corner with his big fat shell so nobody else can reach the food. Remaining greedy is how they survive in the wild in an arid desert where food is scarce.

It’s Snake Season!

Hong Kong python

There are merely a few things that might make bungalow or house residents in Hong Kong want to rather live in an apartment . Having wild snakes hide around home is one of them we often heard from residents of the Peak, Southside, Sai Kung, Clearwater Bay and DB. It would be a drawback of a natural living environment in warm places around the world, except for New Zealanders.

Now, the snakes out there are well awake! They will remain active until end of year.

The more common snakes of Hong Kong include the non-venomous Python, Rat snakes, and the venomous Cobras, Bamboo Viper, Kraits, Coral snakes, Red-necked Keelbacks, etc

If you have encountered a snake and would like to know if it’s venomous or not, or want a species identification, feel free to send us the photos.

If you have a snake problem and would like professional advice or a check for your residence, fill in the booking form of our Snake Inspection/Removal service and schedule an inspection.

 

 

A reptile as Christmas gift?

As animal lovers we do not like to see people easily giving pets as gifts. It is a lifetime commitment and full of responsibilities.  But for those who are serious, we are happy to choose some of the most suitable ones for them to keep as pets. It also comes with the terrarium, food, and all equipment required, as well as care sheets and our professional advice.

Earlier today a very lovely parent just picked up their leopard gecko lizard terrarium (together with the nice lizard and all stuff) at JG Club. Now their lucky kid should be home getting the special Christmas surprise soon. 🙂 The lizard has been on the kid’s wish list for a loooooong time. He finally got it.
