The rest in south wales have closed to focus on the Radyr and Pembroke shop/zoo.

But they charge way over the odds... yet people will always pay over odds

There is also PetWise in Trefforest. Its ok too.
As well as a load in Swansea

May i ask where these are in Swansea? I have only seen World Of Aquatics in Llansamlet.

The only real Reptile specialist that breed their own stock and have the knowledge.

i thought petwise in down powerstation hill or whatever it is now near treforest was ok until i saw a half dead snake in there a few weeks back. the guy said it kept regurgitating. it didn't move much poor snake.

i also noticed that all their snakes had lamps but no guards and every snake in that shop was hiding either in or around its water bowl! bit too warm for them i think.

Wildside gets my vote everytime...exceptionally clean and all reps well looked after. If you are looking for something specific - ask! Just because it is not on display, it doesn't mean they don't have it.
I went to the one in Treforest once. Mites everywhere. When I pointed out the extra wildlife, the guy shrugged his shoulders and said "It's that time of year." What????
Wouldn't buy from Cardiff reptile centre ever. The state of the burm's tail last time I was in there was horrific. Obviously lost the tip due to retained shed, but it was black and looked gammy. Add a couple of boa's to the same enclosure as well....not really what I would want to see when considering purchasing an animal. Was a while back, but I never went in there again.
