Reptile Shops In Scotland

[KarlW]

Thankyou,

We are starting an online store to go with it first, so i will be possibly advertising it a little bit on here (offering RFUK members special biscuits )

Other than that we've got an SEO campaign i will be doing soon (as i am primarily a webdesigner)

So fingers crossed.

Feel free to drop me a pm if you fancy offering some advice on the best places to market such things.

Hi Karl,

My experience in marketing is extensive. Not marketing inverts per se, but marketing businesses, and marketing new ideas.

Despite the distance, there is no logical reason why I cannot help you, in some way, even from this distance, as we have the phone, the net, etc.

I will do all I can to help you.

Perhaps we could chat on the phone, so that I can find out more about your business, and advise you accordingly?

If my knees behave, we are hoping to head to Kirkaldy tomorrow, then work our way back via some others.

We went to serpentus on Friday. Lovely =] the couple were really nice, although the young lass that was there as a worker seemed either out of place or just not wanting to talk.

Their customer service was great and we sat for ages. I didn't think they were too pricey either for what they were selling, and i did like the fact they only get in and sell on captive bred stock... big thumbs up for that from me and Colin All stock was lovely and clean, apart from a few crickets running around.

I just felt let down by the size of the place and the range of equipment available, however we were very very impressed by the whole shop =]

I am hoping to get there on the way back from Kirkaldy tomorrow, then Bathgate as a final stop before home.

Sounds like a great day out.

i love serpentus not only for the reps but for the atmosphere in the shop, it's like a big family. i don't know what i would do without ryan and nicky they are always on hand to advise me and answer any questions i have and they never have a problem with looking over any reps i have bought from else where, not a lot of people would do that.

Agreed. So far Serpentus Exotics is the best I've seen of the shops up this end. That said only been to 3 so far. The one on the Hilltown is ok, and don't even get me started on the one in Monifith! I wouldn't even buy livefood from those guys.

Will be going back to Serpentus to pick up our new carpet python in about 2 weeks. Ryan and Nicky are very friendly and obviously care abotu what happens to their animals. Great after sales service as well! We were lucky enoughto be taken through to see all Ryans private collection as well. Dark room was very funky!

Was in the neon gecko in glasgow recently. Wasnt really impressed as they was housing a tortoise AND a bearded dragon in the same small viv. They also had bearded dragons right at the top with no lights atall, poor little things. Worst of all though they had an Anole on display below the desk which was dead!

In my opinion. Not a very good impression for my first time in the shop. I was quite upset by it and would defo not buy anything there.

Thanks
