Default swan street reptiles

or it might be called swan street pets. anyway it's that one in the centre of manchester near the CIS building.
i was wondering if anyone had been in? i pass it quite a lot coz it's really near the wholesalers i use for my shop but it's a pain to stop round there.
is it worth trying to find a place to park to have a mooch around? or should i just keep driving past lol?

yeah it is, hence my post. but if you guys think it's a sound place, i'll brave city centre parking next time i'm at the wholesalers.

its my no1 shop! within walking distance for me and its round the corner from where i work.

Craig is a lovely chap really knows his stuff, their animals are always kept really well (aside from leos on sand but every pet shop does this as well as private keepers, so its just my opinion that its not a good idea..)

decent prices and a pet shop that actually gives you correct info (e.g. with UV light, nutrition, realistic viv space etc.. etc...)

would recommend to anyone

chondro, have you seen the beardys they have at the moment? well grown on and full of colour! really nice and a very good price aswell. i think they were £60 or somethimg like that. would love to see how they end up. oh and "brucette" is a real nice dragon. pitty shes not for sale. they have a good selection of spiders aswell. if anyone is worried about parking go to the side of oldham rd and theres lots of side streets to park on or GET THE BUSS. OH NEARLY FORGOT, THE BULBS ARE USUALLY CHEAPER THAN MOST OTHER PETSHOPS IN THE AREA. NOW THATS ALWAYS GOOD
