as the title states it would be a great help if you pet shop owners and people who breed ALOT of reptiles could tell me how much you spend a month on electricity and gas, feeding all the animals and how (do you get wholesale deliveries or breed your own mice and crickets etc?) and the overall cost of the premises you keep your stock in. also is there any restrictions in selling reptiles? e.g. do you need a permit before starting up?

thanks a bunch! paul

I don't own a pet shop but yes you need a license.

As you do with all pet shops that sell animals. Not sure of the in's and out's though

you would have to get a pet shop license from the council, i got my application form for mine through the other day

New online rep shop opening within the next few months, (food, dry goods, and livestock).

around 360 various reptiles

I don't have a shop but sell surplus from my own production from home.
Basically, you only need a license if you buy in animals to sell or if you sell from commercial premises.
However I have a large collection and my lecky bill quite high.
I don't think you'll get many people telling you what it costs them in relation to power, bedding and feeding, but for my collection it has to be in the region of £60 to £90 a week ( I produce some mice / rats myself and the frozen I do buy in is at trade prices because of the numbers I buy )

cheers mate this is exactly as i thought so i'm guessing for what i want to do i'm going to have to allow myself £250-£300 a month on elec etc. i heard from somewhere that some places get 1000 frozen mice for £10 so wholesalers etc will be the way to go for me and when things look promising i may breed my own.
