Right not sure if this is a good idea or not but worth a go.
This area to us seems a bit rubbish for rep owners. We seem to have no decent reptile shops and we have only found 1 good herp vet (in long sutton). We also don't know anybody else with reps near us. So we were thinking of maybe trying to get local rep owners together for chat etc and to help each other out, with advice, supplies etc... Or even lifts to vets if people don't drive. Not sure what people will think to this but just an idea we had. Also It would be nice to meet some like minded people near us!! So..... Let us know what you think. Dave and Amy. Also, not sure if I have put this in the right section, Sorry if I haven't.

Coningsby pet shop is pretty good too. Although they have only a few reps, they are very good with equipment/food/advice. I would imagine they would be able to get things in on order if you had any specific requirements. I bought my baby beardie from there a couple of weeks ago and he's extremely healthy, and I also bought a very healthy baby guinea pig there recently.
Although I live in Sleaford, the shop was recommended to me by one of the vets at the practice I used to work in... she advised me to drive to Coningsby for any reptiles rather than using the main pet shop in town, as the reps supplied are always very healthy, well looked after and very reasonably priced. Also, last week while I was out of the country, my OH was panicking when he ran out of locusts for the beardie. He rang Coningsby pet shop and they stayed open 20 mins past closing time so that the OH could dash there and pick up locusts. Thought that was excellent service. Fi
