And there's always something great to look at in store too, which is just a nice treat

will second that! Canters exotics is great - although really hard to miss, must have walked past it about 3 times before I realised it was there!

Jay's in Ashford is good too, though can be a little pricey on some animals - but very cheap on others, nice place, and Jay makes me laff.

We don't have many in Cornwall but can highly recommend Gills and Geckos in St.Austell, very friendly and helpful staff and a good selection of reptiles and exotics.

Cold Blooded - Although mildly on the expensive side, the staff are welcoming and enjoy a good chat as anyone do. They are happy to provide you with the help you need if ask. They usually do you deals if you buy an animal with equipment and so on. They also have a massive variety of reptiles there, including ones not for sale and amazing to see in the scales. They also always have live and frozen food available when ever i go in there.

Junglephase - Nice clean shop, a nice variety of reptiles and at a good price, owner is more than happy to have a chat, give you advice if you require it, and also was more than happy to probe one of my snakes when i took him in.

Scales & Fangs - Also a member on here, although doesnt have a large scale of reptiles, their reptiles in the shop are a nice little variety, including a DWA rattlesnake, is more than happy to have a little chat and give advice if required. Very clean shop aswell.

Reptile Cymruu - A member and moderator here. Has a nice clean shop, such a nice variety of animals, complains about the shop being too small, but to me looks comfortable. Alot of tame animals too! And shown to be well looked after.

Um what other shops? oh crap class finished, home time woo

i dont know bout anyone else but id find this info alot more helpful than 50 odd posts of people slaggin each other off! Dont understand why people have to be so snotty and stuck up sometimes, theres no need for it on a forum designed to help people!

Reptile Cymru anyday ...but seriously, I've rated this shop highly even before I worked here.

Coast to Coast is also really nice, only been there once but really helpful and have some mad setups!!
