| Hi has anyone been or bought from Lost World Reptiles in Teynham? Website has long list of snakes and other repiles they breed and supply. Am considering getting a royal at some point and as there dont seem to many places near me wondered if this place any good? May have a wander over there the end of this week to have a look but is always nice to get recommendations if possible |

I got the baron (my brb) from there, and also Buster my Carolina. My OH also got her spotted python from there, as will I in a couple of weeks.
It's a good shop. I'd say one of, if not the, best in Kent. They don't have a huge stock of accessories, but the place is crawling (literally!) with livestock and the people that work there are very pleasant.
The only thing is, for me, I think they feed too large portions. They said my brb was eating large mice, when to me it's clear he should have been on mediums at best, and preferably a rat fuzzy. They also said Buster was almost big enough for fuzzies, but he still struggles with a pinky if it's a large one. And the spotted python struggles a fair bit with the fuzzies they said she was eating, although she gets there eventually.
But it's def my favourite reptile place and recommend you pay a visit.  |

| I went here last weekend to get my first ever snake, the staff were very friendly, they let me hold a few of their snakes before deciding to take one home, and even let my toddler come in and aclimatise to the snake i chose (a 3month old candy corn) they gave me loads of advice and made sure I was set up properly. They also said any problems I could call when they're open or Facebook them out of hours. I travelled over 20 miles on recommendations about them despite having a few options nearer.to me, and it was well worth the trip. |

Can't see you leaving without a new family member unless you leave your purse indoors...! lol
Just so many reptiles to see and you're bound to fall in love with one of them!
Am looking forward to my next visit in a week or two, when hopefully they'll have a spotted python for me. Will also take in 2 of my corns as they will sex them for me for free. |
