Default The Reptilarium or Reptiles Plus: Boscombe

I live in Dorset and my local reptile shops are Reptiles Plus and The Reptilarium. Wondering if anyone else from the area has a preference between the two.

I use both, but I prefer Reptiles Plus. The shop is much less cluttered, and there's more choice of livefood. Sometimes at the beginning of the week The Reptilarium won't have what I want. Never had a problem at Reptiles Plus though.

That's interesting, I've found Reptiles Plus often too small, although yes it is less cluttered!

I've applied for a job there, hoping for a call back in the week.
Fingers crossed!

What is it you find too small Noofy? We have a fairly extensive dry goods and livestock availability list - just we can't display everything in both of the public shops! Always worth asking if there's something you're after but can't see.

Cheers

Now come on Mark, it is just to see old sexy Alex, and i wouldn't mind betting a bit of Nik's belly too. Thanks for the kind words and good to catch up with you the other day mate, next time i'll get my old sexy hands round that thing called the kettle when you visit next, but you'll have to bring some sugar, it's not good for my wrinkles.

I can see i'm going to have to make a rack to hang the locals tankards on at this rate, Debbie. Yourself and Adam are always welcome*, this goes without saying.

*As long as you both make the cuppas, and wash them up afterwards
