Ok whats your favourite Rep/Pet shop that's LOCAL to yourself and WHY!!

Mine is Dunston Exotics , they have just made a big display for the shops huge pet common snapping turtle that used to belong to Kwiky on this forum , a really nice display plus there's always the "unusual" rep/amphib or other exotic animal or bird lurking in there somewhere

I like the pet shop in the garden centre in penllaergear as it usually has a good selection of unusual animals and lots of supplies etc - Zoars Ark in Neath is great as they tend to be the best in their set up and care and advice - unfortunately there are too many bad ones in this area rather than good - I still prefer private breeders mainly

mine is ameyzoo in bovingdon mark is a legend. the man has so much knowledge and will never let anybody have an animal till they can prove to him they understand the animal well enough. he alway's has loads of great reptiles in there the shop is so tidy and clean he has his little rescue section out back the big burmese python in a huge viv/room (although i went in the other day and came face to face with the bloody thing have a wee strollet in the shop). i could spend day's in there and months talking to mark.
