They didn't dress up for Halloween. They were born this way.
Every October someone tries to put a tiny hat on a reptile. These five never needed one. They are all in store right now, and every one of them looks like it showed up to the party in costume.
Diablo Blanco Leopard Gecko
The name is Spanish for “white devil”, and once you see the eyes you get it. Pure white from nose to tail, with solid red eyes and no pattern at all. Care is the same as any leopard gecko, with one adjustment. Albino lines tend to be more sensitive to bright light, so give this one well shaded hides and it will be perfectly happy.
Brazilian Rainbow Boa
In plain light it's a handsome orange boa. Put it under a lamp and the whole body flashes blue, green and purple, like a rainbow shimmer. That shimmer isn't pigment. It comes from the structure of the scales bending the light. Adults usually reach 4 to 6 feet, and they need more humidity than most boas, so plan the enclosure around that before anything else.

Angolan Python
With Halloween around the corner, the Angolan python already looks like it came dressed for the occasion. Its scales have a naturally raised, beaded texture that gives the snake a rough, almost armour like look compared with the smooth scales of most pythons. Under the right light, those little “beads” catch a subtle shine, giving the Angolan python an extra spooky, almost dragon like appearance.
CB Red Eye Tree Frog
By day it sleeps tucked under a leaf, all green, eyes closed. Disturb it and the eyes snap open, bright red, along with orange feet and blue and yellow sides. Those colours are thought to startle a predator for a split second, long enough to jump. The sharp change in color truly is a shock when you see it happen in front of your eyes. Not a reptile, but it earns its place on this list, and it's a great project if you want to try a tall, planted, humid setup.
CB Helmeted Chameleon
That raised casque on the head looks like armour straight out of a fantasy film. Helmeted chameleons come from the cool highland forests of Kenya and Uganda, and they thrive cooler than most reptiles, with nights that can drop into the upper 50s°F. If you have kept veileds and want something different, this is a great next step.
Captive bred animals like these don't sit around for long, especially this close to Halloween. If one of them has caught your eye, come see them in person or reach out and we'll tell you more about the individual animal.
