Reptiles in the green - Aberdeen - was a bit dingy looking inside, staff were friendly, Some of the water dragons had bad nose rub and shedding problems, but still wanted to sell me.
East coast exotics - Aberdeen - lovely shop, staff really friendly, usually spend ages chatting, proffessional inside, everything up to top standards.
Strictlyexotics - Dundee - Value this shop alot, great staff, friendly, good prices, always great deals and a great variety of animals available.
Strictlyexotics - kirkcaldy - Same as above
Monifieth pet emporium - Monfieth - Animals kept in awful conditions, too over crowded with bearded dragons, some attacking each other, prices high for some animals, Can easily source what you want, but takes time to get in. alot of bad stick this shop, most of which I agree on.
Aquacadabra - edinburgh - Big store, sells alot of fish etc, reptiles can be a bit pricey, had baby leo's on bark ships which is not the correct substrate.
Rintouls - Bathgate - overcrowded on the furry pets side, lots of corns and reptiles available, lots of reptile equipment also. Have never bought a reptile from them before so not sure on quality but know of people who have.
serpentus exotics - Dunfermline - large and spacious, staff friendly, animals kept clean and in the correct set up etc. good shop.
Neon gecko - Paisley - No words to decribe this shop.....
Neon gecko - Glasgow - Same as above, will never visit it again
olympia - Somewhere in glasgow - small selection of reptiles, visited once, seems ok, part pet store so not sure how much they know about keeping reptiles.

Ultimate aquatics also sells a small collection of reptiles and they are in cupar - Reptiles kept in correct set ups, clean, friendly staff, great prices, great store.

Water Wonders in Edinburgh are now doing reptiles. They are very good price wise as far as I am aware. They have a very good reptile expert who is in most days. I have been going there of years to get my fish, and even worked there for a couple of years, and now that I am onto reps it is still my local shop.

The butterfly world is great. Not been in a while tho. I think the person who first suggested this place as a reptile shop is getting mixed up with Dobbies garden centre, which is on the same site. its just the other side of the car park. They do fish and fluffys and have recently diversified and started doing reptiles as well. They seem a little dear but that does not come as a surprise as they were always dear for their fish.

Yes, it is good for a visit, and reasonably priced.

The leaf cutter ant display is v impressive.

The dobbies next door now sells reps. However their tortoise was kept on the wrong substrate, looked slightly runny nosed (a hermans) and the UV bulbs all looked like they needed changing.
They sell wild caught anoles as beginners reptiles aswell.
Their fish section was good though, maybe they should stick to fish

[maddragon29]

Just thought i'd add that Dobbies is now selling live poultry.... i know how i feel about that

i'd personally not give them my business but thats peoples choice
