About the shop
A small maker, obsessed with reptile gear.
Shackelford Exotics is a one-person workshop turning out snake hooks, gecko holders, and bowls for keepers who actually use their gear. Every piece gets made, cleaned up, and checked by hand before it ships.
The goal is simple: honest, well-priced equipment that holds up in the room and in the field. If you need a length or color that isn't listed, email — most one-off requests are a small upcharge and a quick turnaround.
