Exclamation Pets At Home selling reptiles?

I don't browse here as a rule as i no longer keeps reptiles so i am sorry if this has already been spoken about and if i have placed it in the wrong section but i had to make a trip to Pets at Home today as i needed a new collar for my dog,i haven't been there for well over a year,probably longer as i really have no need to but anyway i ventured up there today to find they now sell reptiles!
Bearded dragons,leopard geckos and hermanns tortoises...does anyone elses now do reps,could have been going on for ages as like i say i don't go there much but it was a bit of a shock,lol...got some pics on my phone i might upload later too.

I know mine used to sell leo's years ago! but they don't anymore, they don't even sell budgies anymore! I still prefer to buy my exotics from breeders or specialist shops.

Some one linked an article where it stated that there where now 6.5 million Dogs kept as pets in the uk, and 8.5 reptiles.

Ofc Pets at Home are going to be branching out Its turning into a massive market.

ooh cool, i go to the pets at home in cliftonmoor - York to kill time befor the cinema and they havent had reptiles for years, got rid of them along with all the birds and the chip munks and white albino squirrels lol.

they keep terrapins though. i dont really like pet shops keeping reptiles unles they fully know what they're doing, and i bet the staff down at pets at home dont.

but hey ho
