our story
Hi, I'm Liam — founder of L&E Ball Pythons, based in Chorley, Lancashire. What started as a simple need for better reptile gear for my own ball pythons has grown into a small business creating practical, 3D-printed reptile equipment for fellow keepers across the UK.
We couldn't find hides, bowls, and accessories that actually fit our snake rack — so we designed our own. Every piece is reptile-safe, durable, easy to clean, and available in custom sizes and colours. From feeding tweezers and incubation trays to stackable hatchling drawers, water bowls, hides, and cable clips — every product is tested on our own reptiles first.
Designed by keepers, for keepers — science-backed, practical, and built to last.

Our Story — Why We Started
L&E Ball Pythons began from a simple problem we experienced ourselves. When setting up our snake rack, we struggled to find reptile hides, water bowls, and accessories that fit properly, were practical to use, and still looked good. We wanted gear that worked for real enclosures — but we couldn't find exactly what we were looking for.
So I decided to start making my own. Drawing on years of experience keeping ball pythons and other reptiles, I began designing and 3D-printing pieces right here in my workshop in Chorley, Lancashire. What started as a way to create better products for our own reptiles gradually grew into something we wanted to share with other keepers — and that's how L&E Ball Pythons was born.
What We Make
Everything we print uses reptile-safe filament and is designed by me and my family. Our range includes:
• Reptile Hides — perfectly sized for tubs and racks, custom colours available
• Water Bowls & Dishes — stable, easy-clean, secure fit
• Feeding Tweezers — extra-long reach, keeps hands safe from strikes
• Hatchling Drawers & Incubation Trays — stackable, space-saving design
• Cable Clips & Accessories — tidy, practical, reptile-safe
We offer custom sizes up to 256mm and a range of colours — because every reptile setup is different. All our items are durable, easy to clean, and built for everyday reptile keeping.
Why We Exist
We don't just sell products — we create gear we'd be happy to use with our own snakes. Every design is keeper-tested before it goes on sale — because we know what matters when you're caring for ball pythons, hatchlings, and other reptiles.

• Reptile-safe materials — filament tested and safe
