i stay on a direct bus route to aquacadabra but i take a bus and a train to bathgate to shop at Rintouls which should give an idea of my feelings towards the afore mentioned shop.

I've heard about that Rintouls before but it was from a woman working in Acorn who if I listened too would have made me make turtle soup...theres no way I was putting the water temp up to 36C .

Anyway I was asking about shops in Edinburgh for someone on Bearded Dragon . org .

Aquacadabra is ok in my opinion. I'm not sure about reptiles, but I was in recently and they basically refused to sell a guy tropical fish because his tank was incorrectly set-up.

Perhaps that is a baised example, but at least they have some "morals" it seems. The resident arachno-phile seems pretty knowledgable aswell. It seems a clean shop and the enclosures were clean and large last time I was in. Even the chameleons had an air flow cage...

I can't vouch for any shop tbh, as I have not bought anything from them, but I thought Aquacadabra was better than some of the other shops I have visited in Glasgow.
