New shop in Cardiff

[silversurfer]

I have found the new shop in Cardiff!! It is not quite open yet but I am sure when it does it will be well worth a visit. I have just had a sneak look inside as they are working in the shop today to get it open. It's on the main road into Cardiff on the A48 Cowbridge road. They got one vivarium about 14' x 12' x 10' with water fall rock wall and a pond looks amazing, lots of large vivs 8' long some 6' long and some of them are 8'high and thats just one part of the shop!

Plenty of parking in the carpark so no problem of parking on the pavement while you run in to buy a box of crickets! You can browse at you leisure. I did get a E-mail off her cardiffreptilecentre@ntlworld.com they havent got a web site yet but are working on it.

Will let you all know when it opens (she said it should be in 2 weeks) and will get the owner to put some photo's on here for you all to have a look.

This shop has been talked about for months didnt really think it was going to go ahead but had a guided tour last week and it is going to be HUGE. It is the old Bright Lights building next to the old vets on Cowbridge Road West one viv alone is half the size of our Pencoed shop...

Been back in to see how progress is geting on in the new Cardiff Reptile Centre and to see if there are any jobs going. The place is more like a reptile zoo than a shop, they are a couple of weeks behind but I think the opening day is the weekend after this one. I think it will be well worth a day out to visit the shop no matter where you live!

No idea where that is, but then again im only in cardiff every few weeks!
There has been a lot of shops popping up in south wales lately!

If anyone knows of any other reptile shops in the south wales area, please do let me know because I live in the south wales area myself and only know of 1 and the new Cardiff Reptile Centre. The small shop called reptile Cymru started off anti Wild Caught and cursing every one who touches wild caught reptiles, but I see she is selling wild caught reps her self now!!

I don't see any problem in buying, selling, importing, breeding, or keeping any wild caught reptiles. I personaly would rather start with wild caught to start a breeding group as you know that you will be starting with new fresh blood lines. So com'on you anti wild caught people leave the importers alone and lets get some new species in for us to breed! And if you won't change your mind about wild caught then stick to your morals and stay away completly from wild caught if they are no good to import, keep, or breed then why sell them in your shops!

The New Cardiff Reptile Centre is at 173, Cowbridge Road West, Ely on the main A48 road into cardiff from the west.
