I'd have to say the Reptile Room as it's the only one i've been to but i'm guessing it'd be pretty hard for people to say there was anything wrong with it...

In terms of the cleaness of a shop i would say reptile zone or coast to coast, In terms of knowledge the best is wharf hands down no contest.

I suppose if I had to give a top 3 in no particular order I would say Reptile Zone in Bristol, Emsworth Aquaria down south, and Jungle Phase in Essex... but of course that is no reflection on all the other hundreds of shops out there, it's just that I haven't been to them yet
I dont think you will be very welcome in Reptile Zone though, the owner doesnt seem to keen on members of RFUK

Snakes and Adders and the Reptile room at cleveleys for me

Reptile Zone in Bristol is one of the best......but the one I seem to have to keep revisiting is Reptile Cymru in Cardiff a smaller shop that most of the others mentioned but the quality of the stock and staff are great.

maybe be good if your going to jusge shops to give criteria on what u like, as reptile room and reptile world b oth are tops at looking after their animals, cleanliness, and stock, there are probably more comprehensive stocklists but when u look at the shops and setups these shops get the awards

As for my answer to the question this thread was made to ask.
I couldn't say if i felt a shop was better over others. I've been to a fair few in the area. And will be visiting a new one in the next few weeks (CPR, well not new shop but will be my first visit) aswell as will be visiting Christy's and a few others along the way.

I have seen issues with each of the shops i have been to. And to be honest i can't say that i feel any are the best! Not saying they're all scummy etc. They each have different positives and different negatives about them.
