It’s far better than other pet shops, while the price is still acceptable.

For me this is by far the best reptile shop in the area. I have brought reptiles from here and food on a regular basis. The staff are very knowledgeable in their animals and equipment. The welfare of their animals while at the shop and when going to their new homes is of upmost importance to them, to ensure they have a happy and healthy life.
