Yes!
The other shop your talking about is everything Scales and Tails isnt.
Dirty,smelly and dont care about the animals they are selling.
Very poor shop.

Scales and Tails is a wicked shop...everything about it is quality.
From the livestock and selection of equipment to the advice and knowledge of Dave.
Ive been using Scales and Tails for years and bought my first boa from one of Daves own litters well over 10 years ago!

OMG how could anyone insult Scales and Tails. We took our hedgehog in there and they were brilliant and tbh iv never seen such a tidy and clean shop.

It's a shame and as a result I have taken to travelling further to better shops.
Any thoughts?

Whats the matter? Couldnt you afford a proper set-up and didnt like being told so? You just tried to slate one of the most well-respected shops in the uk.Id love to say what i really think of you,but i think you did a good enough job yourself!

What an idiot! Scales & Tails is amazing and doesn't deserve any bad press! Excellent shop, clean, well stocked, interesting animals, knowledgeable staff, friendly, approachable, educated....need i say more!

If every shop was like this then there wouldn't need to be endless posts on forums like this with people complaining about shops and people concerned over sick animals because they have been sold them with incorrect housing and advice from a dodgy pet shop...

Keep up the good work scales & tails

is this guy serious scales and tails is the best shop goin that ive visited and had a real long chat to dave in there and tbh is probably the most inteligent person ive spoken to in regards to reptiles.

what a loser

Just like to say..

Dave is a top guy and is a top shop owner.

A real Good guy in my book.

If you want to own an animal be prepared to buy the correct setup. It's not hard.

I've heard from many people and not just on here that it's a good shop, ive never heard anything bad about it, and thats what normally gets mentioned the most. Got a website by any chance?

they are lovely..

only thing id say is i got a crested gecko from them that was meant to be grown on female..

when it arrived it was a baby and turned male in the months following the purchase LOL.. naughty crestie

when i questioned this by phone i was told it had been temperature sexed.. which isnt proven with cresties i guess

but it was a lovely crestie so i didnt mind too much but it was only 6 grams when i got it so not grown on really.... and since it was collected by my friend and brought up to me i didnt see it first... it was my own responsibility too i suppose..

the service by phone was great though.. they had lots of time to spend.. and you didnt fele rushed etc.. and very friendly... so thats a definate plus..

i think the last 15 comments kinda put this one to bed really.. coz they have all come from people that have been in the business/hobby for many many years.
dave does have a website, but i dont have the link on my laptop, maybe someone else can post it for you..
or do some kind of google search.
