Welcome to Fathom Reptiles
Situated inside Basingstoke Garden Centre, we offer an extensive selection of reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. We also stock a full range of livefood, frozen food, housing and all relevant care equipment.
With a passion for the rare and unusual, we aim to supply a wide variety of captive bred reptiles and amphibians. Many of which we breed ourselves or are sourced from other likeminded private keepers.
We love sharing our knowledge for these incredible animals, and will be more than happy to answer queries on keeping, housing, and the best use of the latest equipment.
Please come and visit us in store to see our awesome reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates!

About Us
Fathom Reptiles is essentially the culmination of a hobby gone too far! Owned by Faye and Tom, both avid reptile keepers with extensive experience keeping and breeding a large range of species.
We have always loved sharing our knowledge and passion as hobbyists with other private keepers, and after years of working in the reptile industry, pet shops, aquatic shops, laboratories, government facilities, zoos and veterinary practices; we have now decided to take the plunge to become our own bosses and pass on our love of reptile keeping to the general public.
Our combined 35+ years experience of keeping and breeding has meant that many of our animals, bred at Fathom HQ, have reached keepers across the UK, Europe and the Rest of the World, with some individuals being sent to zoos and educational institutions. Many reptiles are becoming increasingly threatened in nature, and so we aim to help conserve captive populations with our breeding efforts.
Our aim is to not be your average reptile shop, and to showcase the rare, weird and wonderful alongside the more common pet species.

Wide Range of Species
We aim to offer a diverse selection of Reptiles, Amphibians and Invertebrates. Specialising in the rare and unusual, produced mainly by ourselves and other UK hobbyists!
Help, Support & Advice
Please get in touch if you have any questions regarding reptile and amphibian health and care.
Also if you are searching for a specific species, we can possibly assist in sourcing it for you!
Unfortunately we are unable to take in unwanted pets at this time.
