my favourite pet shop is the one that was near my mums when i was a nipper. used to love going in playing with the puppies and pulling the kittens tails.
Had loads of goldfish and mice in there too... and lots of birds, budgies and finches.

i would say , old school was crystal palace reptiles ( like 8 years ago) i was amazed.
now i would say southcoast exotics due to stock levels and variety.

Canterbury exotics, no doubt about it, Chris and Nicole are great and im pretty sure Chris could answer any question you asked. Allways have really good stock in there and its only like half an hour from where i live

I love that place.

south coast exotics all the way just bought my ackie form there

i think emsworth has "boring" stock always the same stuff and south coast just finished refurbishing and it looks great, they might be smaller but they got more vivs!

Sam...I'm gunna have to disagree with you on that one.
It took me quite a while to get any attention off them when I wanted something, and I know that they get a lot of random chavs or whatever wanting a cobra so they get annoyed and don't know who actually wants somethine, but I'm a customer, that is not my problem.
I hate the fact it's painted black, I know that's not a big issue and that it's ''alternative'' but it just makes it look dark and dingy.

granted I've only been in there a few times but there's never much choice when it comes to snakes, some of the leos have looked in bad-ish condition, and the baby beardies they were selling when I was in there once were WAY too young to be sold.

it's an alright shop, but I don't understand how you can say it's better than other local shops such as Jay's or Vanishing World?

They've allwasy talked to me and everything while i've been in there, and i've bought 3 leos from vanishing world which turned out to have cocidia and died, i've also bought a tokay from jays and it died for some unkown reason, and the guy in jays tryed to tell me a boa will get about double the length of the big burm in there and he tryed to tell me that a tarantulas pedipalps are actually legs

I do like vanishing world and think they have brilliant prices, but i prefer canterbury exotics to the lot of them, i suppose everyone has a right to their opinion, i know they don't really have many snakes for sale in there much, because chris actually said to me that lizards actually sell more than snakes in there, but chris can get in whatever you want if you ask...
so i suppose we both have different views

May i also add that every rep i have apart from old girl normal leo is from canterbury exotics and they're all doing great

indeed so, I dunno, I think the fact that they seem really unresponsive to general questions at CE put me off, as did a tale I heard about Chris and a Tarantula.

then again, after I actually bought the hoggie Nicole was really nice and offered to give me some pinkies, didn't respond when I told her something on here.

and you said the thing that happened with the Tokay was common? I admit Jay's isn't the best, but I love vanishing world, but I've only bought one corn from there so far and a few bits and bobs.

possibly going to that new shop in Deal week after next, and if I can be bothered travelling further down to concrete jungle in ramsgate.

will let you know about the one in Deal, I think you said you've been to Concrete Jungle?

Hmmm yeah that thing with the tokay was supposed to be common but it still put me off of the shop, yes i have been to concrete jungle, the people in there DON'T TALK

THe only good ting about the shop is the hots he has which you can get a really good look at, as you are allowed to get quite close to the tanks

and the dwarf caiman, adult iggy and trio of rhino iggies but the iggy enclosures are truly a work of art and are massiveeeeeee, i'll have to maybe go to the one in deal pm me with the details
