Hi,
well I live on the Isle Of Wight and there's not much reptile stuff here to be honest.....I bought two of my snakes from a place called Newport Nursery,2 Royals.They have a few reptiles but they are not cheap..my Royals were £85 each and they have put them up to £120 each now,the most expensive snake they have there is a Boa which is up for £399.They have other animals there too.I wouldn't rate them very highly as my 1st snake died which I bought off them.

There is a breeder on the island which I saw a couple of weeks ago....you could check him out his name is Ian and he runs wight reptiles

you could also take a trip to Amazon world....I havent been there in ages so don't know what animals they have there now

Apologies for bumping an old thread but this thread keeps popping up as number one on google every time "Isle of wight reptile shop" is typed in so I thought I had better update it!.

Yes there is! Exotic Pets & Supplies - Livefoods by post showroom(About Us)

Its a small shop because its a small Island! But we have about 1000 or so different Herp related pieces of equipment on display to purchase and have 15 display vivariums stocking the basics currently beardies, yemens, corns, cresteds, rankins, steno's, leo's, Fire bellys, whites tree frogs, Dendrobates and a small selection of inverts.

We do have some native reps over here the usual suspects slow worms, adders, common lizard, grass snakes, But there is an interesting colony of medditeranean wall lizards living over here that were released in the early 1900's and are doing really well still, If anybody is ever over here pop in and we will tell you where to look for sightings in the summer months.
