Dave runs a fantastic shop with absolutely top class help and advice on animals that he sells and everything that they need. If you are one of the numpties that wants a reptile without having to pay out a penny more than you have to for it then i'm glad that he hasnt let you have one. My son had his ghecko at age 12 and we made the mistake of going to another shop in Leicester first and ended up wasting £50 on the wrong set up for her purely because they weren't really interested in her well being.We then visited scales and tails and got her sorted properly. She is now 5 and gorgeous.
We bought only a few weeks ago a Luisistic Texas rat snake from Dave and everyhthing it needs. Dave does not care how many times we phone or visit for help and advice because he is doing his job properly and responsibly ! I think him and his shop are fab and will not go anywhere else now because he is the best there is !

it sounds like you have mentioned my shop even though not in name
as mine is always open on time but i am as tight as hell when it comes to selling my animals unlike every one else in leicester, these are not stock but my own animals and i want the very best for every one of them
as i also run leicester exotic refuge as well i see a huge amount of reptiles that have been sold in uncontrolled crappy little wrong fish tank or plastic set ups which have ended up impacting on the well being of the little animal in question due to its home being wrong in many ways, ( at least 10 ive seen in the last two weeks which is a joke in my oppinion)
so as a owner of a pet business the whole point is to sell the best in the best manner possible, prevention is far better than the cure and i know from alot of keeping that the environment is what runs your reptile so basically give it a crappy set up and all the best to you as you will probably cause your reptile harm
look on how many problems happen through burns on reptiles
metabolic bone problems and so on all can be prevented as long as you give everything the reptile needs in its environment almost like setting up your own home

so we will let the public decide on whats wrong with my leopard gecko set ups
as i do not have any problem with it at all

36 x 18 x 21 viv exotic enclosure
heat mat covering approx third of the floor
thermostat to controll heat
digital thermometer with probe
2% day tube for replication of photoperiod
all fittings
moss box
moss
vits
hot hide
intermidiate hide
cool hide
plants
and me as your back up, so what more do you want
all equipment is sold and set up a day or two prior to picking up the reptile

we are the only award winning reptile shop in the uk
we are vet recamended
we are rspca aproved
we have been keeping exotics for 3 generations spanning 140 years

but as the saying goes you cant please every one

Thanks for reading
dave

wow your my idle
