Contact No for exotic sand tropics shop

Dave_D · #1 (**permalink**) 05-04-2007, 01:54 PM

I am hoping to speak to the owner of exotics and tropics and have sent an email but I have a bit of a problem

If they dont reply to the email address supplied before 4:30 then I will have no way to contact them after that time, and I dont have web access at home as my pc isnt rebuilt yet

And to top it off, I am on holiday from work from the end of today, till a week monday so I wont be able to get anything sorted or my ansers answered

Does anyone have a contact number for them please?

I have searched their site and cant find anything, yet it does say to "fill out the form given, email, or call us for any queries"

Anyone got a contact number please?

They have a gorgeous iguana and I am tempted now I have found a supplier as I havent found one local

thanks

Cant help you with the number im afraid but all ill say is seeing your post count (5) - not that that means your new to reptiles, dont rush into anything. Iggys get very large, take alot of work and need a big enclosure when full grown, they take alot of research before you buy. Why not try a shelter and get a rescue, there are so many in need of a good home.

Im not new to Reptiles, my friends have had them for years, and I own 2 beardies and a Royal Python

As for reasearch, I have been researching for a long time, looking at all possible problems, the best set up, what they eat etc etc so I know what I am getting myself into

I have a large viv area I will put him or her into, and I have plans ready for a larger 6ft viv, plus I have a large place so they will have free roam of the house

As for rescue, I have researched around and only found ark rescue but they dont have any on there, the only one they have lately has a tendancy to bite and tail whip, whereas if I get it from a young age then they are more likey to build a bond and get less agro

I know what I am getting myself into, and thats the best part as I LOVE large reptiles as you feel like your less likely to hurt them than a small worm or something lol!

Thats cool, nice to see someone actually explore all the options before jumping in!! I didnt mean to accuse you of being unprepared, its just that im sure you know how many people get them because they think theyre cool then loose interest with the amount of work they take!! I hope to get a Rhino iggy one day, but not till im sure i can provide the best for its entire life!!

Good luck

I have thought alot about it as I know what size they can get to, and to be honest, I wanted a dog but living where I do, I feel it would be unfair on the poor animal to be cooped up as much as they do need alot more excercise!

I have an area set aside for one if I decided to go down that route that would be big enough for it for atleast a year or 2, then another area that I can move it into that would give it alot of space to fully grow and still be happy, I jsut need to build it, but i am concentrating on getting it set up in the smaller area for the time it is a baby

Its either this or I go for 2 large snakes, but I am exploring many options before I fully decide
