And the other shop, although a lot better than first mentioned shop, seems to not want to sell anything. Don't get me wrong I'm all up for selling animals correctly but they seem to take this to an extreme. Sell, sell, sell, get as much money we can from one leopard gecko sale.
It's a shame and as a result I have taken to travelling further to better shops.
Any thoughts?

Well, sorry but I'm right behind Tom here. Its disgusting that Dave had the nerve to try and sell you the right set up for your animal. How dare he have the welfare of the animal above some cheap sale. Someone like him should be banned from selling animals for life..
Way to go Tom for bringing it to our attention

Dave is a great guy, LOVES and CARES for his animals and keeps an immaculate shop. Wanting the best for them is not about making money as cheap and cheerful (and wrong) will always make more sales.

Sorry dave the leopard gecko comment was not aimed directly at you store, it was just an example that was mis understood. Apologies.

Also I can honestly say it is one of the most impressive and cleanest rep shops ive visited - keep up the good work

I wouldnt hesitate to reccomend them

Many thanks

Scales and Tails all the way!!
What more can you ask for when you get a spotless shop. Quality reptiles in top condition. staff that are happy to give you their time to answer your questions. ( Is there anything that Dave does'nt know...lol)

Ive been to the shop in South Wigston once and never again. I went in when i wanted my CWD. The girl behind the counter had no interest at all, When i asked her about a setup i was told that i would need a 3`x 2` x 2`. Luckily i knew this was totally wrong. ( as i had done my homework well in advance, which i wish everybody would do.). The shop was very untidy, the floor looked like he had not been swept for months. the vivs were dirty. Totally put me off.

Would recommend Scales and Tails to everyone. Keep up the good work Dave..

I travel from Middlesbrough about every 6 motnhs to go to scales and tails and every single animal I have ever bought there has been amazing quality, obviously well cared for and housed in the correct manner. In my opinion Scales and Tails is definately one of the top shops in the UK and the staff are helpful and knowledgable - and Dave makes a great cuppa!

Would i be correct in saying that ROYAL THOMMO and TOM FROM THE BLOCK are the same people and tom has had to change his profile after being ridiculed?

Suck ups. Lol, I joke.

Does anyone know how far Scales & Tails is from Whitwick? Or however it's spelled.. My nan lives there & I wouldn't mind paying Scales & Tails a visit when I'm next up there.

[MARK.D]

Its about 15 miles from Whitwick
