I go here all the time.

They are great guys but just have to be aware that their advice isn't always right.

I got my Royal from them and the starter kit.

And yes i did say i didn't need your reptiles but that was beacuse I had my own boa at the shop. I do take advise from others as VeiT's (On this forum) parents were in yesterday and they gave me some advise on my own boas at home.

I'm not going to get into a disagreement on a forum as its pathetic but just to make a point, the viv was bone dry on more than one occassion and the UV was 12-18inches away from anywhere they could soak it up. Might as well have just shown them a picture of the sun!

Well that's funny as they get sprayed 3 times a day and the hydrometer says tropical. The viv the babies are in is only 24" tall and 24" wide so the uv can't be more than 12 " away from where the branches stop as the branches and leaves reach the top of the viv.
Are you just being like this because I didn't let you bring your reptiles in as this was because i didn't feel it was appropiate for reptiles to be put under such stress as being handled by what turned out to be more than 200 people on my opening day.

I went to Wharf recently and It all looked fine, Just sold the last of their BRBs and were cleaning a huge snakes viv out,(not sure what species) funny to see the guy wrestling with it while other staff cleared it all out. Looked a through job. Looked to be well priced there too.

(my personal opinion is not in anyway conected to the shop and i try and keep my personal life out of work and my work life out of my personal.. its better this way lol..)

Good on ya there. I go wharf quite a bit and Gaz in there is very helpful, always looked after me and is very reasonable with pricing, ive had alot of stuff from there over the last couple of years and its still high in my ratings, I used to get for £10 100 adult locusts which i find really good. The only downside of wharf is sean who floats about most of the time and he doesn't really give you any help, but the new guy in there, dont know his name seems to know his stuff and generally its a great place to go

I went to Wharf last week and honestly didn't really like it that much, there were mislabelled snakes for a start.

However, they did have a huge selection of vivs

Yeah, i wouldn't always listen to the advise they give you as its not always correct but overall the shop is very good. Vivs are a bit expensive to say they make them theirselves. Prices are good though and the animals are in excellent condition, just ask for Gaz he knows what he's talking about
