Default Reptile shops in Kings Lynn, Norfolk

Evening all.

I've just moved from Essex up to Kings Lynn in Norfolk. While driving around i haven't seen any Reptile shops. Had a quick look on google but hasn't really come up with anything.

I've had a quick search on here but the only posts i can find related to Norfolk seem to be in Norwich, Gt Yarmouth and somewhere else far away.

Anyone know where my nearest one might be?

Thanks for the quick reply.

Just looked up Norfolk Aquatics, doesn't mention anything about reptiles though.

With reguards to the one in town, is that in in town or on an industrial site? If its in the industrial estate its a 'pets at Home' and they don't do reptiles.



Need somewhere so i can get frozen mice from.


Thanks for the suggestions though!

King's Lynn Koi and tropicals there pretty new to keeping reptiles, they have an ok-ish range mainly leo's beardies a few snakes and a couple of other things, its on the north lynn industrial estate kinda near L.A. fitness. (u probably dont know where these places are yet lol)

I have to ask, WHY did u move here, its pretty much a hole in the ground.

livefoods £2.20 a tub "old" live food (over a week old) is £1 a tub, i have no idea if they stock pinkies (i assume they feed there snakes something)

Thanks for the tip, will go and have a look at some point this week at KL Koi.

I moved upto Norfolk with Work, houses in Norwich were over my budget and KL was the next best place with reguards to house prices/town/close to main road etc.

Cheers thanks for the clarification, i'll check them out this week.
Also looking at putting a pond in next year so that could be quite a handy shop to look in.
