Experienced team
Pete‘s lifelong passion for reptiles began at 12 with his first garter snake. By 16 he was already working in a reptile shop, and soon after began breeding snakes himself. His hands‑on experience grew even further at 20, when he travelled to Australia to study reptiles in the wild and spent time working with crocodiles and sea turtles at Crocodylus Park in Darwin.
Back in the UK, Pete continued building his expertise before founding Evolution Reptiles in 2007. What began as a small online shop has grown into a trusted, specialist reptile business dedicated to exceptional welfare, expert advice, and responsible keeping.
Over the years, Pete has bred a wide variety of reptiles—favouring Woma pythons and yellow rat snakes—and now focuses on bearded dragons and leopard geckos in-store. With decades of experience and a front‑row view of how the industry has evolved, Pete brings deep knowledge and unwavering commitment to his work, both at Evolution Reptiles and in his role with REPTA.
