[weeminx]

i have been in contact with edinburgh zoo and the butterly and insect world regarding donating some reptiles but does anyone know of any more reputable zoo's,reptile houses in scotland i could try??

Five Sisters Zoo (Gavieside, West Calder, West Lothian) seems ok

ive been there and the guy who gives them advice on reptile keeping isnt all that clued up to be honest.
thanks anyway...also louden castle is a no no.

What about Blaire Drummond?
Whats the reps? Something big?

As far as I'm aware Edinburgh Zoo don't have a reptile house anymore. It's to be rebuilt.

Hmm. I can't think of many places that would take them. I take it they are less than friendly. Not try a private sale?

[weeminx]

friad so...they have been on hold around 5 times now to several different people...then i dont hear from them again.lol
do they think ive got nothing else better to do.lol
i am right now in talks with someone whos interested.problem i have is that most havent got what i would call decent set ups for them.im not going to give them to somebody who will just make do with a 4ft viv lol.
i would of thought these were perfect for tegu breeders...believe me if i had the room to keep them then i would but i really want to get more into uros and panthers(chams) you not want them fixx?

no no they are very friendly space is the issue.and they are coming out of hibernation soon and will need a massive enclosure.i already have a massive enclosure for my iguana if i make a massive enclosure i cant continue with my plan to concentrate on uromastyx.
i thought if i cant sell them maybe a decent zoo would keep them..was wanting edinburgh zoo really as the reptile keepers are really knowledable and they have a herp vet to hand also.will see what this private sell thing turns up.if nothing happens i will have to move the tegus in my bedroom and ill sleep on the floor.

I'd love them, unfortunately we're not in a position to take them...at present, though we are moving at the end of January where I would be in a position to take them. If you still have not managed to re-home/sell them to somewhere suitable by then, I'd love to take them off your hands.
