Honestly, this place has got to be the best reptile centre I have ever been too. It's where I got Dimika from and the quality of the animals lifestyle is amazing. They always have clean vivs, fresh food, clean water and healthy animals with beautifully decorated enclosures. On their website it tells you that people from York travel down just to stock up on their criters!

I've been to a few places round here for stuff for the snake, but this is the best by far and due to their success in recent years they have expanded twice so they now include loads more I'm not usually one to rant about shops, but I feel if you're in my area and looking to purchase an animal, it's worth the trip in my opinion, as they are very reliable and friendly. Oh, and they are also very hygineic (ignore the spelling) about handling - they have antibacterial handwash (It's important to me anyway xD) And they let you handle pretty much all of their stock - obviously if you're looking to purchase or if you're an interested child, not just for the fun of it

Sorry, pretty pointless topic, but still - they are a very good reptile shop -nodnod-

EDIT: They are however quite expensive animals, but you are probably paying for the quality of the rest of their stocks lives to be preserved, so still worth the money and the trip in my case.

Yep, totally agree with opening post. We bought our babies from Northampton 3 months ago and wouldn't go anywhere else. We tried a couple of other local places but didn't find quite the same friendliness and cleanliness. We trust them completely and, as I said, wouldn't go anywhere else.
