Living world in bradford. Or as its affectionately know 'dying world'. They lost their license to sell all but fish I believe, due to the horrendous conditions they kept the animals in.

I think the place is still there though.

LOL, just googled it, also known as dying world on there too. Even lost licenses for reptiles? They use to have loads, I never thought it was bad, read that it's changed hands.

Yeah especially for rep! It changed for a while from husband (who got banned) to wife... and then may have changed again. Not sure. But it was on telly for being so bad (one of those undercover things i think).

May still be there though. Been a couple of years since ive been, biut that was for fish...

The only thing I ever remember being in pretty poor condition was the siamese fighter fish, the tanks they were in were shockingly small. I remember they shut the rep part down for a while then opened it up, whether it's still in the hands of people who got it its name dying world, but last time I went it was really good set up in the rep department, everything seemed happy, clean enough, that was when they had monkeys, kittens, puppies, snakes, billions of birds fair big ones too. Never really saw lizards though.

OMG yes those poor fish used to make me cry going in there and seeing the state of them most either half dead or already dead

it picked up in the place for a short while things changed a bit then it went back to square 1 all over again

but saying that got my 1st water dragon from there as a hatcling and that was hmmm 12 years ago and he is still alive today happy and healthy living with my ex

Didn't realise they ever kept reptiles? I always remember them having 1 or 2 dwarf caimens in that area under the stairs, always remember that from when I was a little kid.
