Default reptile shops in dorset?

down at my nans for a week with all the pets and need to go pick up a few things, mostly some more food.

any reptile shops around the lime regis area? not sure how far there willing to travel but i know they will prob go 20 miles.

would be good if it was a big one with actual reps in it as they want to see some others and ma treat mine to some new decor but food is the most important thing.

Has Reptiles Plus expanded, then? It's tiny or it was the last time I went!!

To be honest I don't think there are any "big" reptile shops anywhere round this area. South West Reptiles in Exeter is pretty small. Apparently there are a couple of really good ones around the Plymouth area, but that's certainly a lot more than 20 miles from Lyme Regis LOLOL.

If it's food you want, then you could always try Little Fish Aquatics in Taunton (Little Fish Aquatics and Reptiles - The shop), but worth ringing them first to see what they've got in stock. Or as above, there's South West Reptiles - small shop, but spot on bloke that works there, very helpful.

If you can persuade your nan to go as far afield as Bristol there's a couple of good ones there? Also, have a look at this thread as it lists shops by area.

Good luck, anyway!

yeah its not really a shop in the sense you can just go and look around either, the animals are upstairs and that is the breeding side of the business, they do have a dry goods shop downstairs.

this is bj herps - you do need to ring to let them know you are coming

Reptilekeeping.com - Home

and, as you will be passing within about 20ft of where I live, I think you should pop in for a coffee

yeah reptiles plus is tiny but ask them if you want something they are one of the largest wholesalers in the country. the animals are superb quality and the service is amazing. guys are very knowledgeable and etc etc. prices are very cheap and obviously as a wholesaler they always have different stock. very small shop that runs underneath the shop out the back and about another2 shops that you can't enter. sorry

Yep, Reptiles Plus has a tiny shop front but loads of stock downstairs and out the back. They sometimes have a list near the cash desk of animals not on display and can pretty much get anything you want.

As mentioned they also have a couple of other shops a few doors away that aren't for public access. Great shop, great staff and very knowledgeable.
