Neither shop had guards but sold the heat bulbs, although Medusa did say they could order one in for me.

Just thought I’d share my experiences.
Clifton Reptile Centre sell both heat bulbs and two sizes of bulb guards

Medusa is a really nice shop, everythings kept well and its rather cheap They are a new shop so the till problem would probably be because they arent used to it but they are nice people Your experience with nottingham rep sounds all too common, they have some nice things in there though

Another one is one stop pets and exotics on toton lane around the corner from bardills, we go there often and jon (carisma on here) is a great guy always helpful. They also last time i went in had a lovely albino burm it is just so pretty it may still be there now.

I cant think of anymore in nottingham, clifton rep has been mentioned but im a bit warry of it.

Have you had a bad experience with Clifton Reptile Centre then. I was recomened it by a friend and I've never been steered bad by them. Steve at Pet Mart who's had loads of expreience in reptiles told us about it when he shut down this year due to the land his shop was on being sold to tesco..
