I have heard a few bad things about southcoastexotics

[Reptile-jon]

I have had no dealings with Emsworth exotics but have only heard good about them and they are near Portsmouth.
Also I am in Guildford Surrey just a drive up the A3 and have a royal and Amur ratsnake for sale.

Ive been to both Emsworth and South Coast, and while I think the staff at Emsworth are nicer, they tend to get more unusual things at SCE. Their prices are a bit steep though! I bought one of my tegus from there - they had one the same size at the same time at Emsworth that was £40 cheaper, but I really liked the markings on the other so... I personally dont have any problems with either shop, and quite like visiting them.

I have used both. SCE aint bad animal wise but as already said the staff aren't the happiest bunch in the world and the shop itself is a bit on the "small and pokey" side. Emsworth Exotics (which is actually in drayton now, go figure?) is larger and the staff are a lot more friendly, but a lot of the animals that come out of there are mite infested (happened to me and quite a few ppl I know locally down here).

I went to both SCE and Emsowrth last week, Yes the staff in SCE aren't the greatest but their shop certainly isnt pokey! The only problem I find is the amount of wild caught animals they sell, quite obvious when they have Fauna Import UK next door run by them too! Emsworth however, I found that to be big but very pokey, some nice animals at decent prices. I havent had any problems with either myself.
