Reptile Shops In Scotland

[biohazard156]

Serpentus is absolutely fab, friendly and helpful and they will make you a cuppa too! I go here every weekend and end up staying and chatting till like 9pm!! Deffo worth a visit!

If I have to go somewhere very local in an emergency, then I use aquacadabra in Edinburgh. They can be very helpful and have things quite resonably priced. a 45x45x60 exoterra is only 52.50 which is brill. Other things can be a bit expensive...

There is a shop in Aberdeen which I would avoid like the plague after having two dealings with them and getting the wrong things sent (animals)...

Rintouls is well overpriced and cramped, would prolly avoid it tbh.

I also use neon gecko glasgow i do sometimes wish there were more reptile shops because we dont drive so we have no option but to go there but with how popular reptiles are now you would think there would be more hope another opens in glasgow area ..

1 prob i have with neon gecko was i put my reps in to get looked after recently as i had to go away and i found out he had housed my 2 beardied dragons with his own breeding project beardies which in my opinion they should have asked my permission first.

and i have a friend who has had really bad experiences with him.

i would say neon gecko for his prices i have been to a few and had bad experiences with both classical pets in whiteinch and dalmuir pets in dalmuir near glasgow dalmuir pets went ape shit when she found out that i had bought a corn from another shop she charges anything from £100 up wards for hatchlings that are nothing special she is arrogant and when found out i bought the corn else where said she wouldn't sell me anything and was the worst person i have ever delt with i now only go in thereto wind her up as she hates me so much lol

I live up by Fort William... absolutley nothing up here...
Been to Aquacadabra in Edinburgh who were very helpful, got my 2 corns from them. Also visited East Coast Exotics in Aberdeen which was quite small, but Serpentus Exotics is easily the best! Really friendly and helpful with a good selection Mind you, still takes me 2 and a half hours to get there lol

Well the sign said open, so I am thinking that they maybe had to run an errand or some such thing. No matter, I'll send the mrs in tommorow. It is a good shop, having gotten a bit bored with spiders and such (I already punted my pede today!), I quite fancy a snake, but have no experience of them at all.

I do however have a fair bit of experience with spiders, scorps, etc, etc, and 17 yrs marketing experience.

I work from home (for myself), and since I stopped going to the football, my weekends are usually free. Ages ago I offered to work for them at weekends, just because I was interested in what they do, and I felt I could maybe help with ideas on how to help their shop grow.

They turned me down, even though I said I would do it for free!!

I wish people would ring up and offer to work for me for free, lol!
