I came across a clicky link to 888Reptiles website http://www.888reptiles.co.uk/index.php and was wondering if anyone else has any good or bad experiences of using them? The frozen food is cheaper than my local petshop even taking petrol to get there into account (and I drive a thirsty car!) but I'm not keen on using a place I don't know or heard anything about. They've got a gorgeous black striped cali king too http://www.888reptiles.co.uk/images/products/full008.jpg shame I'm not allowed any more snakes

I'm going to use them, because I've heard they are ok. It's a secured site, so you should be fine.

Seen a few things I want, just trying to decide what type of stat to buy for my Royal. It's all gobble-de-guke to me

The website's quite good and they have (basic) care sheets and recommend you do your homework before buying your first reptile - which is quite responsible for a petshop.
Prices for mice seem really good compared to either of the places I usually go to.
Thanks Kazerella I might give them a go, my other half is going to love a freezer full of frozen mice, lol

I made my order from 888reptiles and everything has been fine. The mice were very well packaged so they were still frozen when I got them.

I'd definately use them again anyway

I was worried too, but it's so much cheaper that I had to try.

They are wrapped in plastic bags and bubble wrap, them wedged between a strip of mini ice packs, then securely fastened into a polystyrene box.

Mine were fine when I got them. You need someone in the sign for the box though
