Default Ron's Reptiles, Norwich.

Anyone remember this shop, and does anyone know what Ron (Wells?) is up to these days?

Cheers
Al

Jeez....Sad news, and a real shock. Hope this thread has not upset anyone. Can't believe it, as a child in Norwich i'd often be down his shop for a WTF etc, a very friendly chap, thought i'd see if he was still involved in the herp community as i couldn't find his shop online and figured it'd closed. I'm stunned, wasn't the kind of reply i expected, he can't of been any older than his 50's. Thanks for the info though Andrew.

Hi chris. I knew your dad very well. I got my first scorpion sting in his old shop on Willis Street lol.
Very sad when we heard he had passed away a few years ago. (If you came to the club more often you'd have known Alex )
He was a great character.
