Default Being nosy, does anyone know what shop this is?

Just wondering if this is one of the shops that has recently been commented out for having a bad reputation, or is it a good one?

Anyone have any ideas.. or comments?

The advert is on Reptile :: Keeping :: Information - Reptilekeeper.co.uk

Don't know but his (or her) spelling is atrocious considering they are trying to sell a business.

he/she also fails to mention a rather important fact that his/her license will be completely void when the shop is sold, and the shop will in fact be completely unable to trade until a new license is issued in the new owners name, which here would cost around £300 and take up to 2 months.. that's 2 months when it's illegal to sell any animals. Don't know what it's like down in Cornwall though.

That sounds like Scales n Tails in Penryn. I didn't know they were selling it I would be interested in buying myself but no cash.

To my know how it takes 2 weeks 3 weeks at most For a license and cost about £50 In Bradford west yorkshire.

I also think that you would have a transition period while license is in process

The thing I would be looking at is stock levels (£8.000)for the amount of viv's also what stock it has and what are the rates and is the shop on a rolling Rent or a lease Just my vies........
