Their web site is

Cold Blooded

That shows their addy and phone number.

The reptile sanctuary is 5 minutes walk from the shop and open only at weekends unless you prearrange it with them before hand for week days.

As nice as it is and as cheap as it is they either need raise the price ten fold or get 200% more people in. Sadly the place is not surviving and losing a decent amount of money each week.

Always positive eh Dave?!

It was never designed for "profit" like a shop was, obviously making money is good but a SHOP is made for profit and they have that.

Anyhoo, nice pics and one day i'll get a weekend day off work and might actually get there myself but for now i'll just stick to the shop on a friday afternoon.

Yes running costs are around £1000 per week!!! and even with the volume of people they get there its around £300 per week taken from donations.

That means roughly a £700 loss. Im just glad that the people who own it are doing it for their love of reptiles and not to rake in millions

They are looking in to giving guided tours to schools soon though to help raise some money.

The other main thing they have going on is a breeding program.
That I would have loved to have seen but obviously you cant.

I know it was never to make money. But you can't have something like that when it's losing money. Hopefully they will make it through and next year with all the breeding plans it will make it worthwhile. At the end of the day noone can afford to lose that kind of money each week no matter how much money the shop takes.
