swan street reptiles

teshu · #1 (**permalink**) 13-01-2009, 07:41 PM

or it might be called swan street pets. anyway it's that one in the centre of manchester near the CIS building.
i was wondering if anyone had been in? i pass it quite a lot coz it's really near the wholesalers i use for my shop but it's a pain to stop round there.
is it worth trying to find a place to park to have a mooch around? or should i just keep driving past lol?

i went in a few months ago and they only had beardies. that seems to just be their reptile stock.

i went acouple weeks ago all round aperence was good every thing was clean n tidy, verry spacies, but not a lot there just crested gecko's leo's beardy's, corns, kenyan sand boa's, king's, frogs, turtle's & fish, but the guy i spoke to seemed to know his stuff, and they do have a down stairs whitch is sposed to be full of herps, but i was unable to look as he was the only one in that day so down stairs was off limits.

yeah it is, hence my post. but if you guys think it's a sound place, i'll brave city centre parking next time i'm at the wholesalers.

its a good shop,my uncle and auntie used to own it when it was holland hydroponics and pets.i was in few months back and its always clean,but generally stocks your basic species.

its my no1 shop! within walking distance for me and its round the corner from where i work.

Craig is a lovely chap really knows his stuff, their animals are always kept really well (aside from leos on sand but every pet shop does this as well as private keepers, so its just my opinion that its not a good idea..)

decent prices and a pet shop that actually gives you correct info (e.g. with UV light, nutrition, realistic viv space etc.. etc...)

would recommend to anyone

chondro, have you seen the beardys they have at the moment? well grown on and full of colour! really nice and a very good price aswell. i think they were £60 or somethimg like that. would love to see how they end up. oh and "brucette" is a real nice dragon. pitty shes not for sale

. they have a good selection of spiders aswell. if anyone is worried about parking go to the side of oldham rd and theres lots of side streets to park on or GET THE BUSS

. OH NEARLY FORGOT, THE BULBS ARE USUALLY CHEAPER THAN MOST OTHER PETSHOPS IN THE AREA

. NOW THATS ALWAYS GOOD
