There is a shop in Whitburn that stocks some reptiles and snakes. I've been in once recently in passing and it looked clean with what looked to me to be healthy animals.
They have a website pkpetandaquatics.co.uk
I'm not a reptile person so maybe it would be better having someone who knows reptiles to say what they thought. The people used to sell parrots which is why I was there but they have changed to aquatics etc since moving to the larger premises.

neon gecko is indeed clean bright and well maintained but the 3 corns of very differing sizes kept in the one tank is surely not such a good idea .. and i re-iterate surely boarding someones beardies ( not there own and males at that) with their own breeding beardies could have caused an aggressive attack.. it didnt thank goodness but the possibility is high... if someone posted as a keeper they kept 3 corns all different sizes in the same viv.. or had placed 2 male beardies immediately in with their larger breeding beardies i think half of RFUK would be saying something about it... theres no need to be horrible about anything but surely its simply a bad idea and an accident waiting to happen

thats the guys name i like.. john... hes a nice wee guy... very friendly and not arrogant etc as some reptile shop workers can be,,,

the guy in the forge is/ was not too good i heard hes had his liscense taken from him at least once... i didnt even realise he was still there,,,

Let's see I've been to several Reptile shops in Scotland and by far I have found the best to be Olympia Pet Centres in Cumbernauld and East Kilbride. The staff are great, always happy to have a chat or help with any problems you may have.

Serpentus have a nice set up .... East Coast exotics in Aberdeen have got a good stack of viv supplies and we got a very cool Everglades Ratsnake from them .... Really liked strictly exotics in Dundee - they had plenty of viv decor in and once the animals arrive I rekon it's gonna be a stunner of a wee herp place

Damn people keep talkin about Serpantus I've gotta get down there one day.
I like the Neon Geck in Paisly , its always clean and the guy who works there is friendly and helpful-the one with the wee dog , I think it was a pug but its cute anyway.Every time I go in there I spend like half an hour up the back of the shop lookin at all the herps and inverts.

Pets Aquarium in Ayr isnt very good but they have cheap locust and the woman who works there is really friendly , she sometimes ask how my turtles gettin on .
