Working with Foulsham Caramel- our story so far…
Our most recent clutch of PURE FOULSHAM CARAMEL Reticulated Pythons along with Morphs; Platinum Foulsham Caramel, Classic het Foulsham Caramel, Platinum het Foulsham Caramel are now feeding, growing and shedding well… and what a colour change (update pics coming soon!)…
Pure Foulsham Caramel Hatchlings 2017
We have worked with Foulsham Caramel Lineage for 8 breeding projects and 5 years to produce Amaretto (Clark Strain Purple Albino x Foulsham Caramel) , Coral (Clark Strain White Albino x Foulsham Caramel) and Pure Foulsham Caramel morphs. Throughout this time we have endeavoured to create the purest lines of Foulsham Caramel, originating in the wild, which we have now accomplished.
Our main aim throughout this project has been to follow these genetics back to the wild, breed it through to morphs and back again to the original animals to create the pure Foulsham caramels which we started with.
Mother to our most recent clutch is our adult het Foulsham female, who was previously bred to produce half a clutch of visual pure foulshams some years back, which were exported and sold in the USA.
Platinum Foulsham Caramel Father and Son
Working with this original clutch is what fuelled our passion to work with Foulsham Caramel.
Father of this clutch is our Platinum Foulsham Caramel male (born in 2013) , son of a female het caramel (produced from the Original wild caught Borneo Foulsham x wild caught Calico breeding) and a male Platinum poss het Foulsham Caramel (produced by the same female to a male platinum in 2010).
There is a lot of confusion surrounding this gene and which lines are purest to those in the wild, however, from working with these genetics for such an amount of time, and being able to trace the true lineage of these animals and the genes, we are able to supply 100% Pure Foulsham Caramel hatchlings.
Throughout the project, we have worked closely with Stewart Swaine who produced the father to this clutch, along with other breeding’s of Foulsham Caramel, which enables us to know the true pure heritage of our Foulsham Caramel lines.
We have learned a lot from Stewart who has been working with Reticulated Pythons for over 2 decades. He has worked with Foulsham Caramel from its very beginning and we are proud to have produced some amazing morphs with the gene, we continue to work with Foulsham Caramel to discover more about its capabilities.

Today has been my favourite day in a long time. My mum and I arrived at Blackpool Reptiles & Aquatics. I knew that I wanted one or two pretty royal pythons. The manager, Dean, went and brought out loads of baby snakes for us to look at. I picked some out that I loved the look of and Dean explained how all the genetics worked and the possibilities of crossing the different combinations of snakes. He answered all the questions I had and his sense of humour made the experience even more enjoyable. He also let me hold one of his adult royal pythons which was happy to slither around me whilst I was choosing my snakes. We finally narrowed it down to three snakes, a male and two females and I decided to get all three. Dean offered me a fantastic deal for all three and then kitted me out with the supplies I needed. The snakes are happily relaxing at home now, switching between laying on their heat mat and swimming in their water bowl. The atmosphere at Blackpool Reptiles & Aquatics was so relaxing and welcoming. The staff were helpful and friendly and I can't imagine going anywhere else to purchase a reptile. I spent about an hour in the shop with Dean, who made me feel very valued as a customer and I can honestly say that my shopping experience was the best I've ever had! I also know that if I have any issues, the staff would be more than happy to help. You will not regret visiting!read more

Absolutely brilliant experience! Best exotics shop in the North West by far. Friendly, expert staff and a huge range of animals and equipment. As a prospective snake owner but with little hands on experience, I asked if I could handle some of their varieties. Not only were they very happy to assist me but they taught me so much about snake care and allowed me to get close to boas, pythons and hognose, which was a dream come true. Thank you so much Dane for all your time and trouble. I hope to be back and buying a boa from you in future! I think you made the day of a lot of children who were in the shop today too. Definitely go and check out their shop!read more

A great shop with very knowledgeable staff and very clean , healthy animals. I've been a customer for a few years and I've bought animals, equipment and have have my snakes probed by the staff. I've nothing but praise and respect for the boss man and his staff for running a friendly , helpful and professional store. I've never seen a sickly or distressed animal in my many visits and I would buy with absolute confidence 🙂read more

This place is amazing, we found it a couple of months ago when we wanted to purchase some frogs, the staff are very euthusiastic and knowledgeable. We'd looked elsewhere locally but the animals looked better looked after and also healthier and the choice was far far better. We've been back since for further advice as our understanding on what we want and are doing has increased and they've not let us down. Also worth mentioning is that they always have a fresh stock of critters that the frogs have as food. Besides the frogs there is just about everyother type of reptile inc his two crocks!! Highly recommended this place and i normally don't get involved with reviews or praise but it's well earned in this instance. Thanks guys!read more

Alll the staff are fantastic and very helpful! They have a vast knowledge of all the animals they stock and of animals they do not but are still happy to help. The quality of their animals is fantastic and the two snakes I have bought from them are the tamest in my collection. The only downside is I end up spending all my money here 😭😭😭read more

Absolutely faultless in every way. Amazing variety of reptiles and awesome staff. We popped in today with the kids with a view to possibly getting them their first beardie and tortoise later in the year and we were blown away by how great the 2 Dane’s were with the kids. In particular, ‘new’ Dane really went out of his way to encourage the kids and really sparked their enthusiasm. Really got the feeling that all the staff truly care about what they are doing and about the animals in their care.Can’t recommend the place highly enough!Thanks!read more

This store is by far the best on the north west. We use this store on a regular bases from buying our 1st bearded dragon and set up to our crested geckos. The staff are extremely helpful even helping us with advise on a malnourished crested gecko that we rescued from a online breeder. The owner and staff bend over backwards to help where ever they can. Allowing customers to interact with the reptiles on request. They create amazing setups too better than zoo standard. Thank you for all your help so far.read more

By far my favourite retile shop. The guys there have superior knowledge of the animals which are all in clean healthy environments. If they dont have it they can get it. Always try and call in when in the area to see what they have in. Holding the chameleon and learning about the species was a box ticker for me.read more
