A FEW THINGS WORTH KNOWING
Curious?
You’re in good company.
How are my matches chosen?
We first check whether their care fits your home, time, budget, experience and comfort. Then we compare the animal groups you like, your routine and the interaction you want. Think of your results as helpful starting points. They are based on care requirements and your answers, not a scientific test or professional approval.
What if no animal is a good fit?
We explain the reasons and any preparation you need. An animal’s care requirements cannot be cancelled out by a high preference score. Waiting is a responsible outcome.
How did you choose these 100 animals?
We started with familiar animals in reptile, amphibian and invertebrate keeping, using published ownership surveys and specialist care resources. This is a curated collection, not a verified worldwide popularity ranking. Common does not always mean easy, and some of these animals need a very experienced home. See the UK ownership survey ↗
Where does the care guidance come from?
Profiles link to RSPCA advice and, for the new insect profiles, Amateur Entomologists’ Society care sheets. New specialist profiles link to Chameleon Academy, ReptiFiles, Keeping Insects and PetMD. Experience labels are editorial guidance informed by care complexity, not a formal certification. Costs and time are illustrative estimates; always confirm current species needs with a specialist. Exact species matters, especially for skinks and insects. Reviewed 15 October 2026.
Do you sell animals or check legal eligibility?
This collection focuses on reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. No animals are sold here, and we don’t automatically verify legal status. Check GOV.UK guidance, your local authority and your housing permissions. This tool does not recommend venomous snakes or large predators. Availability and local rules still need checking.
Can I come back later?
Yes. Your answers save in this browser, on this device. They are not submitted to an answer-collection service. External fonts and links involve normal network requests.
