Leaf Me Be is a small but intricate operation blending science, passion, and design into something truly unique. Richard and Alicia’s journey with Leaf Me Be started as a perfect fusion of their passions. Richard, a lifelong reptile enthusiast, grew up fascinated by the intricate behaviors and striking allure of reptiles. His love for these creatures only deepened over the years, leading him to keep and care for a variety of species.

Alicia, on the other hand, had always been captivated by the natural world in a different way—through the beauty and complexity of plants. As a microbiologist, she had a deep appreciation for the tiny ecosystems that flourish all around us, from the roots of plants to the unseen microscopic world that supports life.

When Richard introduced Alicia to the world of reptiles, she quickly fell in love with their charm and individuality. She began to see how plants and reptiles complemented each other—not just in aesthetics, but in function. The two worlds intertwined, creating the foundation for Leaf Me Be.

Now, Leaf Me Be is more than just a business – it’s a carefully curated experience that brings together the best of both their passions. They provide high-quality, healthy, and rarely offered species alongside an array of plants perfect for bioactive enclosures or home décor. Each reptile and plant they offer is a reflection of their shared knowledge and dedication, ensuring that every customer receives not just a pet or a plant, but a piece of a thriving, living ecosystem.

What started as Richard’s lifelong hobby and Alicia’s love for plants has grown into an entity that bridges both worlds, bringing the beauty of nature into the hands of others. Leaf Me Be isn’t just about reptiles or plants—it’s about creating harmony between them.
