Well I did make it to both shops during my lunch break and both had good and bad points.

Medusa was cheaper and I bought a few things, however it all went wrong when I went to pay. The guy on the till took a couple of attempts to total the goods which I then paid for, thankfully, before I left I checked the receipt and did the maths in my head. I had been overcharged by about 50% so I questioned him and he called for help. A lady came down and took a couple more attempts to get the right price. On the 4th attempt (2 on the till, 2 on the calculator) we agreed on a figure and sorted it out.

The Reptile Centre was full of some beautiful snakes and I was very tempted by a Taiwanese Blue Beauty which I may have purchased except that I was ignored completely. There were 2 people in there and they were both dealing with a lady who was buying her first Corn or Leo or something. I actually Left the Reptile Centre, drove to Medusa, bought some goods and came back and they were still both with her. In the end I got the guy’s attention and asked him for a guard for a heat bulb. Unfortunately they didn’t sell them (as they weren’t worth it, they were just a bit of foil and they didn’t use them, they had their lights out of the viv through the mesh roof).

Neither shop had guards but sold the heat bulbs, although Medusa did say they could order one in for me.

Just thought I’d share my experiences.
