you need to check your facts before trying to belittle me!

i think the shop is over priced, i think the shop itself is dirty and stinks, MOST of the staff really know there stuff one or two dont know as much, one carrys mites everywhere he goes.

most of my posts are aimed at one person as i seriously dislike the guy.. it just happens that he works for them.

i dont have a problem as such with the shop or the 3 main guys there.
the animals in there care get the upmost care.

i personally order most my stuff online as im unemployed so makes it cheaper and easier for me to do that!

i never said there was a better all round shop i just said i liked my local better due to the prices.
Yes, and his names Gila. Is that why your not working at the moment??

I would love for you to name the 7 staff.

If you dont like it, dont go there, simple. I think its a bit childish to try and run down a shop that has a massive customer base and has been sucessfully up and running for many years.

If they were so over priced, why would so many other shop keepers buy animals from them to sell in there own shops??

i do no longer go there.. i stick to online of sometimes my local..

no im unemployed as i have a spinal injuries after a car crash last year!

Any shops that buy get them at a trade price. noone can pay full price and sell them. as most places double that what they paid. in that case everyone would be selling beardies for £150!

I never said they paid full price, i know how business works.

But if there normal prices were inflated, wouldnt there trade prices be too??

Dear Gila

I really dont mind people commenting about shops bad points as it makes people aware of what to look out for. The comments you have made on the other hand seem to be more a personal attack against members of the staff at cold blooded than criticism. I think you might want to use the search button and look at the comments about cold blooded. I believe you will find that most people who have visited the shop would class it as one of the best in the country, especially for their varity of stock, customer service and their knowledge of all things reptillian.

I agree with the opinions of royal gecko and many others I have spoke to that you are infact an owner/member of staff at a "rival" shop. If this is the case then you are a very petty childish individual.

Could you please explain why it is you are trying to bring down the very good name of a shop which has taken many years of hard work to get to the respect and reputation it has now? Or better still, as my taxes are paying you to sit at home on the net slagging people off, why dont you pop down to the shop tomorrow morning, lets say around 11? that way I can introduce you to the guys in the shop and we could discuss what you feel the problems are and I am sure they would be more than happy to explain anything to you or straighten out any problems.

All the best
Ryan

i've been going to cold blooded for years for my herps and won't go anywhere else, i get on well with all the staff especially paul who is always so helpful. i moved to scotland nearly 6 yrs ago and i still travel down to get my herps there, my most recent being an albig in 2007. i often phone up to see what herps are available and if i have a question i phone too. i think they're fantastic

I have been there a couple of times,the last being a month ago.It is a good shop but I was disappointed with the snakes on offer.Obviously it is a business and so has to stock what is in fashion but it did seem to be mainly Beardies and Royals.There were a few others but they were locked away in small tubs and hard to see.
