Can you see what the temps are? Best to provide them with as many facts as possible.

Thanks for the link , I shall ring them on monday morning.

u did the right thing its sad wen u see animals in that sort of situation -its hard not to take them home!! but that means there will be a bunch of babies right in there place a week later! keep at the RSPCA if the shop doesnt make improvemnts. the RCPSA can serve a duty of care notice. they have to imporve the standard of care (listed on the noctice) within a certain amount of time. if they dont the RSPCA can confiscate them and ban them. its the best they can do if the animal isnt in immediate danger. keep ur eye on it xxx

if its in llansamlet, i know the one you mean, although ive been in there i havent actually had a look around there yet, so havent seen what conditions the rep's are in, only looked at the fish. animal addict on here is in swansea and is fairly experienced with rep's, give her a pm about it and im sure she will be able to help ( have a feeling shes had dealings with them herself) im sure she wont mind me telling you her name!

id go down the council bit,but still have to be careful, im opening a pet shop and when i spoke to the person in charge got told that they would come out and see my shop with a vet, but the vet wouldnt know to much bout the housing of reptiles as he doesnt deal with them, good job i do then.

As mentioned above If its the one I'm thinking of, they do fish aswell. I'm new to all this reptile stuff myself, but even I had a bad vibe from there.

next time im in the area i will pop in and have a proper look around, and mention anything to them that i know is wrong, obv wont try to advise them on animals i have no knowledge of though so the more people who go in and point things out the better, i know they have a website too

Just to let you know I have rang swansea council but as usual there was no one available who deals with these issues so the lady I spoke to took details and my phone number and said she will get them to give me a ring as soon as they come in. But when telling this lady the name of the shop she said she knew them, and knew they used to be in a different area.
So I dont know if its because of complaints or because of issueing the license.
