(These aren't in rank order as i think they are all important, just listed)
1. Well set out shop. 2. Knowledgeable and friendly staff, who are eager to make conversation and answer any questions. 3. A wide range of exotic animals - but a balanced stock (not 70% snakes or 80% lizards etc) 4. A well designed, well layed out website would be good. 5. Healthy animals, living happily and securely

DINOSAURS! ok i know u cant have dinosaurs
i'd like to see: Animals living in the correct set ups looking healthy with fresh food and water available and dead ones taken out. animals being checked regularly and spot cleaned so they always look appealing and clean. Staff who don't talk like children in a zoo and that actually know about the animals they've ordered into the shop in the first place. It annoys me that so many shops just order animals in without even knowing about them and then can't give a single bit of advice except, its a lovely looknig animal blah blah blah. a good stock of products to care for ur animal, our local pet shop hardly stocks any reptile products, its useless. shop that isnt cluttered and clear aisles so u can actually walk down them without having to climb over everything. theres my most important things anyway...and dinosaurs

Care sheets are for definite... and our local gives out loyalty cards (so when you buy a rep from them you get a "platinum" card that gives you 5% discount), so this may be good for business! Also having business cards for the local rep vet that you give out with their purchase woud be good. And free stuff, like bumper stickers, litte badges etc can be a fun way of getting children involved in herping (and good advertising)! And maybe an "import" service so you can obtain more interesting species from the mainland (for a small fee!)
In a perfect world I would like to see people given questionnaires to fill out, or they have to find their own equipment from around the shop; if they miss anything vital the animal is put on hold for 2 weeks while they go away, research, then come back. Or, if they're buying a full set up incuding animal, they take the set up home, get it sorted, then come back and get the animal in 2 days when it's habitat established. But I understand this isn't always possible!!

lol cyber u just reminded me then, the pet shop i started working in is building a childrens play area lol and they sell little reptile toys for the kiddies. and yeh it doesnt bring in the pennies and they aren't all that badly priced either. Kiddies love it at the pet shop i work in though, they go crazy at the kitties, carp pond thing ( 20p machine to buy food for them too ) and the marine fish lol. Its a good shop an they got a new manager who's revamping the whole place, can't wait for it to get started proper, she wants me to have a big input on the housing of the reptiles too so i can hopefully get them off calcisand and get them on what they should have!
