The Spring Festival, as Chinese New Year is also known, stands as a cornerstone of Chinese culture. It's a time for families to gather, honouring cherished traditions and embracing a fresh start. To celebrate the Year of the Wood Snake, Birmingham Reptiles is offering a series of exciting discounts throughout the month of February.
Unlike the Gregorian calendar's fixed 1st January start, Chinese New Year follows the lunar cycle, resulting in a shifting date each year. In 2025, the festivities commence on 29th January, marking the arrival of the Year of the Wood Snake.
The Year of the Wood Snake extends from 29th January 2025 to 16th February 2026. The Snake, occupying the sixth position in the Chinese zodiac, embodies traits such as keen intuition and strategic thinking.
With the Wood element exerting its influence, 2025 is a year that emphasises growth and meticulous planning. To coincide with this period of renewal, Birmingham Reptiles will be offering exciting weekly discounts throughout the month of February to celebrate the Year of the Wood Snake.
Keep an eye on our social media pages and website homepage each week for the latest offers!

Are you ready to shed your old skin and move forward into the New Year? As the world enters the Year of the Wood Snake later this month, those born in the Years of the Rat, Monkey, Rooster, Horse, and Dragon can expect good fortune.
We are entering a year of death and rebirth, a time to make responsible decisions to evolve spiritually, moving away from old ways and habits that no longer serve us well. Among all living creatures, the Snake is uniquely equipped, thanks to its magnetic resonance, to perceive the heartbeat of Mother Earth. This is a dynamic year for learning from the past, moving forward with wisdom, awareness, transformation, and compassion.
The Snake represents wisdom, knowledge, intelligence, intuition, and creativity. Snakes are also associated with good luck, prosperity, fertility, and longevity. In some legends, snakes are considered divine messengers and guardians of sacred places. Snakes are also revered for their ability to shed their skin and renew themselves, symbolising transformation and rebirth.
A Year of Opportunity and Recognition:
Expect to bask in the spotlight this year! Your star is shining brightly, attracting attention and opening doors to new opportunities. This is a year for you to shine – your talents and accomplishments will be recognised. However, with this increased visibility comes the need for strong personal boundaries. Maintain your integrity and focus on consistently delivering your best work.
Career Success and Navigating the "Game of Snakes and Ladders":
The Year of the Snake is poised to bring significant career advancements. You may find yourself climbing the ladder of success quickly, but remember to always act with integrity and adhere to legal and ethical guidelines.
Cautionary Notes:
Beware of Deception: Be mindful of potential scams and disappointments from certain friends or acquaintances.
Maintain Harmony: According to traditional beliefs, you may be deemed to be "offending Tai Sui," the god of the year. To maintain harmony, consider visiting a temple for blessings and protection.
Prioritise Self-Care: To minimise the risk of accidents and injuries, particularly during your weaker months (February, May, and November), consider a minor bloodletting ritual, such as a professional teeth cleaning, before the end of April.
Embrace the Wisdom of the Serpent:
The Year of the Snake encourages you to be wise, strategic, and adaptable. Embrace your inner serpent – be graceful, cunning, and always aware of your surroundings. This is a year for you to thrive – seize the opportunities that come your way and make the most of this auspicious time.
