yeah, or the riverside center...
hmmmm...
I thought the website could also compile a list of all the breeders on the island and a reptile S.O.S, for example if they have extreme problems they can ask for help, general advice...

I just know that as an islander we're not really very well served by current reptile shops/pet shops (with a few exceptions - Neil and Lou at LFBP).
there are a few places I have been that are quite depressing to walk into...

your telling me....
Considering how many there is on the island i thought they would have been better...
im not naming names at all because im not like that but me and smurple know who they are and where...
one of witch had discusting conditions and broke parcticly every health and safty, also food hygine rule in the book!
now i think it might be a good idea to get all us together as a socail thing and also maby there are better places on the island we havent found yet
plus who could say no to seeing shexi spiders

Spoke to Lou at LFBP yesterday, sounds promising!
will keep you guys posted.
even if the meetups take longer than expected, I would still like to get some sort of web community up and running. (no more photobucket and flickr needed).

I have a few things I need to sort out at the moment, but once they are done I will get started on putting something together.
the name can be decided later.

Good to hear there is plenty of interest.

You can use the front half of the large reptile room once a month early evening if you want to for free, its got pet food in it at the moment but we can convert it into a classroom at the drop of a hat for when we have school groups in ( for photos see this old thread http://www.reptileforums.co.uk/hobby...hat-money.html )
