Hey,

Has anyone got any experience with these guys?

Looks to be a pretty professional outfit from the website but speaking to someone who has got experience with the place would be good.

It's a 2 hour drive for me so don't want to be wasting half a day driving down if it's not that great.

Cheers

Gaz

Hi Gaz, if you're referring to Northampton Reptile Centre, I can assure you that you will be dealing with the best

We purchased both our Corns from them; they were happy to spend as much time with us as we needed (approx 2hrs) to help and advise what equipment etc was required to keep our Maizie & Smudge happy and healthy, despite it being a busy Saturday afternoon. Five years on, we still only ever deal with them.

I know Sam, the Manager, personally and have also dealt with the Owners and their Son; if you decide to pay them a visit and see Sam, please feel free to mention that Keri had recommended them to you

I would totally recommend a visit and I don't think you'll be disappointed at having driven so far. They're an extremely professional outfit and I think you'll struggle to find better.

I hope this helps

Thanks for the great reply Kez.

I will be sure to tell them that you recommended them.

I've already got everything I need for my setup, kept it from when I kept snakes a few years back, so it's just the Hatchie that I am going for.

Thanks again,

Gaz

You're more than welcome, Gaz; glad I could be of help

I really hope you find one you love, I'm certain you will, they've always got lots of lovely little shoelaces

Have a look round when you get there, they have some amazing reptiles etc, sooooo tempting and so difficult not to come home with a car-full good luck, would love to see pics once you've got your new baby!

You can actually see what animals they have in-store, on their website, just in case you hadn't noticed

Ooooh, whilst I'm sitting here thinking about it, I'd just thought I'd let you know that Sam's Mum, Sally, runs a reptile rescue and also does holiday boarding. So if you don't have anyone nearby that can board your reptile(s) when you're away, I can personally recommend her. What she doesn't know isn't worth knowing, as with Sam, and she absolutely loves the animals

The website is http://samsspecies.yolasite.com and as you will see, Sally & Sam have worked with various TV personalities, including Steve Backshall on Deadly 60

Thanks very much Kez. That's certainly worth knowing.

Cheers
