coldblooded rainham

[leogirl]

weird but i like the fact everything in there is "overpriced". once you talk to them the price drops alot. Stops people impulse buying, especially the twits who want an iggy or boa just to look kool infront of their friends, which unfortunately round that area is alot of people.

[Lisasgeckonursery]

me too, i've even seen them putting someone off buying because they don't think they can care for an animal well enough!

It's a wonderful shop. I popped in there today to have another look around, see what's happening/what's changed and had a really nice chat with Paul. What a welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable yet humble man. There were obviously lots of jobs to get done (ever worked in a shop?) but he still had time to chat snakes with me, and there's no price on that. Fantastic shop. The best in the area.

Brilliant shop! very useful, and nice clean cages. Probably going to be getting a Boa from there in a week or so

This is an excellent reptile shop with lots of help and advice.

Please note there is a private road opposite, which they lease from network rail so their customers can use it.

However beware there is a clamping firm on this private road that is cowboy-ish to the point of blackmail.

If you park on the road you have to go straight into cold blooded else they will clamp you!

For example I am a regular at cold blooded and I needed a new bowl and mice so I knew I was going to be buying something from cold blooded and BECAUSE THEY ONLY TAKE CASH I had to walk to the nearest cash point which is on the other side of the church. Five minutes later after purchasing two bowls, mice, and tortoise food I found my car about to be lifted and towed away. I was furious that within 5 minutes my car was clamped and half way onto a tow truck. Half hour on phone to clamping company explaining what had happened they ignored me, it was then that I explained to them that I was a Police officer and that this is blackmail that things only started to happen. Five large men turned up not that I haven’t dealt with these situation before but after speaking to them they change their tune and check the stores CCTV. However if I were a normal Joe public I’m sure they would have ignored me, threatened me, and maybe even assaulted me which is what that seemed to want to do.

The clamping release fee is £200 cash or more by card. (Doubtful this is declared to the taxman)

The tow charge is £400.

And Storage charge is £50 per day.

So if they did take my car I would be looking at a minimum of £650 just to release it that day.

To be honest you are better of parking on the main road for a normal ticket, even in the middle of the road is better, and all that would happen is your car moved to a legal parking space.


Apparently four of his customers were claimed and the clampers didn't even check to see if they were in the store? This happened before my incident but told to at the time of my incident.

the road isn't leased or owned by cold blooded, its owned by the cafe next door, but cold blooded customers can use it, the clampers will come in the shop and ask if your car is down there, i've been asked a few times and park down there all the time, never had any problems

[Marvin_Dagenham]

The road is owned by network rail.

It is leased to cold blooded and sunnys cafe.

And next time you go down there ask and Paul will tell you that they don't always come in and ask.

i would recomend parking in the pub, just saves the hassle
