Default M4 Reptile Shops

Does anyone have any recommended reptile shops to visit along the M4 (ie reading, swindon etc) a couple of us are going on a roadtrip from London to Cardiff and want some shops to stop at along the way

Ohh, and if anyone wants to meet at Reptile Cymru on the afternoon of Saturday 26th january, a few of us will be meeting up and going to the pub opposite

Cheers

Retile Zone isn't far off the journey

For anyone in Cardiff "the pub opposite" is the Maltings on Cowbridge Road East (car park and right on the bus stop from central station). It's not huge but it has an outdoor seated area for smoking if you want to sit outside in the rain and freeze... and it serves good food. Details of pub here Cardiff Pubs : The Maltings except the photos are wrong as it was totally refurbished last month and is all shiny and modern now.

It's about a 10 second walk from Reptile Cymru so you can't miss it.

I can recommend Reptile Zone for a stop. Pete always has something worth a look when you go there.
If you stop at Newport . Try WILDSIDE REPTILES. Tom is quite helpful as well

Come and visit us at the Reptile zone, its only 3,3 miles off the M5 which isnt much out of your way, Jurrassic Reps is only another 5 or so miles from us, its a new shop, but looking good up to know and Ryan is a really nice guy. I should be there on the 26th too
In Wales there is Dragon Reptiles which has a large room within a garden centre, I think it is off the 3rd Cardiff junction. Its a very nice shop, and Simon the owner is a great laugh.
Nothing in Swindon that I know about.

Cool, we love to meet people and have a good natter. There are lots of places to get food and drink right next to us as well - might help you plan your journey. There is - a chippy, a bakery, a sandwich/breakfast place, a Subway, a KFC, a pub all on our doorstep.
