Well I went with the O/H to Halifax today so he could get some bits for the Nova he's doing up and on the way home I spotted a pet shop which we ended up calling in at. It's one of the nicest pet shops I have been in. The reptile section was fab, the enclosures were clean and full of enrichment and hides for the animals they accommodated, they had good sized viv's and a varied amount of species to make it interesting to people looking round but there wasn't the usual of lets put lots of snakes in one viv! The only down side is that they are too far away to become my new local oh and the name of this shop is Paw Prints, well worth a visit.

It's always great to hear about a good reptile shop.
Approval, via word of mouth, is the best recommendation as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks

never mind the pet shop, a NOVA why did he choose that of all cars
only joking I always wanted nova when I was 17 as the SR (I was realistic about insurance premiums and the GTE would have been well out of my range) would have been ideal, just one problem that I didn't have a driving licence

p.s. I bet there are a lot of our younger members who don't even know what a nova looks like (god I'm getting old)

Erm, excuse me My granddad used to have a Nova so I know what they look like. Unless you're talking about this one(http://priceofhistoys.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/blue-nova-kit-car-61.jpg), in which case I still knew what they looked like(and love them!) but my granddad didn't have one of these lol.

Not in Kent, but if anyone travels to/near Derbyshire there is a really good pet shop called Wharf Aquatics. They do sometimes house corns together but as a rule they are very friendly and again clean set-ups and full of knowledge.

I want to go to the one in Halifax now... [:-(]
