Default Rep Shop 'Big Up'

Well, seeing as normally we only see threads about rep shops on here when there's a problem, today i thought id make a nice visit thread.

Today i went to Waterlife Exotic Plant and Pet Centre to get some livefood, and i was extremely impressed with the shop.

I have never seen the shop look so good. All the vivs were spankingly clean, well stocked, plenty of clean water, lots of hiding room for reps. Even the glass fronts were spotless!

They also had a great range of vivs, substrate and general dry goods.

Admittedly they mainly stock the 'normal' corns, leos etc, with the odd more advanced species. But i would rather see a basic shop done well than a crap shop with loads of different reps.

Normally i would give the place an 8/10, today i would give a 10/10.

The staff are really friendly and helpfull too, so a big congrats to Ally and team for one of the best shops in the area.

Ill second that. Im always impressed when I go in there.
They could be more helpful and point out the things i will forget though. I normally only remember half of what i wanted when i get home..

Though that girl behind the counter is always flirting with me...

Aye. WC, wormed and 4 weeks 'q' before sale. Although I need to change the price or label now as there is only females left!

You need to be writing that list down rather than trying to remember how many snakes you have and what they eat when you get there!!
There's no helping some people...!
