Instead of just posting on here, call the local council, trading standards and the RSPCA.

I'm currently in discussion with all three about 2 shops.

Getting there slowly!

I hate that shop with a passion and only ever go in to give them some abuse, i was passing yesterday with a gobby mate so took him in, they had common boas for £70 and redtail boas for £95. I told them they didnt look like redtails and he said i didnt know what i was talking about, got my mobile phone out and showed him pics of my redtail and my commons and he looked sheepish. Start going on about them being common x redtail, then sumet else, and another excuse.

My mate told him he had ordered a load of common boas and these two had the reddist looking tails, he sorta admitted it looking guilty.

Its one of the worst shops in the country, they dont try and hide the fact they are crap either they just offer bad excuses or say nothing when confronted - Anyone shopping their is just as stupid imo because its so obvious even if you know nothing about animals its a bad shop, surely dead animals everywhere is a big sign its a bad shop??? Especially with one of the best shops just a few minutes down the road, Viper and Vine - there's no excuse to shop there.

he wants £550 for WC GTP's too, they are only £295 at V&V!!!!

i hate places like that, the only reason why they arent firebombed is because of the poor reptiles inside...
im sure karma will punish the owner soon. untill then, i would just get on at council, rspca, ect about the shop, and keep annoying them about it till thery get something done.

Ring up in the morning and ask them how much to get you one in, he can get you WC sarong GTP for £295. If he cant, PM me and ill call him because thats what he quoted me. He knows me so he will remember telling me that price.

What he has on show isnt all his stock, he has two warehouses, one in leeds they share with snakes n adders and another one somewhere else. Just ask and no matter what you ask for he can get in.

£525 is way too much, i can get you a CB for £425, nice yearlings.
