Hi jade theres a few good shops down this way depending on where abouts ya gonna be, First is scales and tails in penryn (my personal fav) got my retics and my fwc from here. Scales n Tails Cornwall

and theres gills and geckos only been here a couple of times but they seem really good i got a lovely little hognose from them.
Gills and Geckos - Exotic Pet Shop, Cornwall. Huge range in Stock.

There are a few more around plymouth area but i cant comment on those.

What area are you moving to? (just cuz im nosey)

I think your on about chace water garden center, not that im any sort of authority on rep shops but i dont rate this one much ive been there a fair few times as it is the closest to me, there knowledge can be a bit ify somtimes and they allways seem to be out of most frozen food at least when im there. never bought reps from them but the ones ive seen have looked good.

The front desk of the place is very cold in the winter (not the reps room) which dosnt make for plesent browsing and they seem to insist that somone looks over your shoulder at all times whem ya in the rep room, again mot plesant when ya browsing. (but not the end of the world)
Wow me thinks i rant a bit lol

We have just come back from Cornwall... Visted the three shops mentioned there.. There are also three in Plymouth but if you are going right down the bottom end they are a bit out of the way but worth a visit. There is also one in a garden centre in Launceston which is worth going and looking around it is in the aquatic area. The garden centre is called Homeleigh if you google it you can get good directions.

i would say scales and tails is the best now its under new ownership, theres one at chacewater garden centre but while the staff are friendly i find they contradict each other when giving advice, and never have anything different in. also there is one in goonhavern but it is seriously overpriced, worse than any other locally!
