Last night we had a break in to my animal room and several of my snakes and geckos were taken. If possible, could people please keep an eye out as most have distinct appearances and are not hugely common. I am in the Enfield area of North London, so others local please be aware for your pets!

I had two snakes, 5 crested geckos and 5 electric blue geckos stolen...

1. Comanche, tessera corn snake, she was born in 2011 but is a little on the small side for her age but still very chunky. She is about 16inches long



2. Diablo, normal royal python, he was born in early 2012 and has a slight joining of the pattern on his back, and is about 14inch long and very slightly chubby



3. Altair, male crested gecko, fires up black and cream, is greyer in daytime, has a missing tail tip and very large crests



4. Arcturus, male crested gecko, fires up dark yellow or red, brownish in daytime. Has distincttive "snub" nose



4. Adhara, female crested gecko, dark chocolate and yellow-cream fired, pale brown and yellow, unfired. Yellow is very bright like a highlighter pen and she is very large for a crestie and has an optical illusion of having a kinked tail



5. Blondie, young unsexed crested gecko, fires black and yellow with pinstripe, slightly lighter unfired, tailless



6. Alphecca, male crested gecko, very distinctive yellow and brown markings, thin lines of brown on spines



7. 5 electric blue geckos, two male and three female, pics taken when colours not brightest, males were very bright blue with yellow bellies, females a greenish colour with brown/yellow bellies. Only 10cm long






please either PM me or email me at joyfulhedgehogs@live.com with any information

thank you everyone...

I'm so sorry Hayley , you must be devastated/angry/worried. It does sound as though they knew something about reptiles and targeted certain ones. Have you increased the security of your animal room? I'd hate to think of them coming back, but you never know with people like this....I could have used so many other descriptive words for them, it's almost worth getting banned for !

I'm assuming you've contacted the police, local pet shops, reptile shops, RSPCA, any local reptile groups, etc??

Please keep us informed about what happens. I do hope they are found safe and that these 'people' are brought to justice.

Xxx
