Hey, I'm considering getting some salamanders from them and ordering over the interent, any1 used them, any good bad experiences

thanks

Haven't bought any reps from them but have bought loads of equipment - not bad prices and fast well packaged delivery....

For the price of the livestock delivery, would it not be cheaper for you to drive? Plus you'd get to inspect the animal before you take it home

Though of course, ignore the above if you don't/can't drive, just not sure if you know where it is

well i would first have to take driving lessons, then the test, then buy a car

i dont drive (yes i'm weird) and bus and rail links are tenuous at best

and i would probably have to fork out for petrol and some extra (like a create of beer or some other gift) if i wanted a mate/family member to drive me out there.

I think not that long ago there was a thread about them from the people who had visited. I dont think the conditions they were kept in were all that good. But bump for those people to see it as I cant find the thread.
Same with buying all animals, go and see if you can before you buy.

I'vw visited a few times, i've not seen anything exceedingly 'off', just seemed like pretty standard reptile shop conditions to me. Not exceptional, not exceptionally awful.

I was actually quite impressed by the fact they were using alcohol gel between feeding different vivs, first time i've seen that in a shop.

i had a look for the thread in question but i couldnt find it under 888reptiles and the search function keeps telling me "888" is a too small word and search for just reptiles unsuprisingly brings up quite alot of stuff lol

i would have probably ordered straight off (after a few emails or call i never order anything online without at least speaking to the people i'm ordering off.) but well there's quite a few mistake on there website, it think it just needs a good proof reading tho lol

so i thought i'd see what RFUK has to say.

and orderiong equpment over the internet it didnt turn up..
hmm
maybe they just dot like me
