Jordan was great at helping us find our new baby. The different variety of cornsnakes in the shop was amazing. Jordan is full of knowledge and very helpful we managed to spend an hour there! Lovely little shop with well looked after pets. We traveled from Leeds to visit and it was well worth it for our beauty. Thankyou.

A lovely little shop! Loads of snakes, lizards and tropical fish. All looked very healthy and well cared for. The owner was AMAZING and extremely knowledgeable. Went though in great detail how to set up our new tank and how to ensure we were keeping our leopard gecko healthy! Would highly recommend this store to anyone looking into getting an exotic pet or looking for supplies for their existing pet.

We popped in today, some amazing animals in the shop and are extremely well looked after. The owner was speaking to us for a long time and sharing his wealth of knowledge about the reptiles we already have. Really friendly and polite chap! Lovely shop, would absolutely recommend 🙏🏻🦎🐍

Had a few awesome species from this shop. All fantastic. Very reliable service. Extremely great attitude towards promoting responsible husbandry. And top glass. If I could I'd give this shop more than 5 stars

I came to this place as it was recommended by snakes and adders and when I arrived I thought it was small but don't let that deceive u! There are tonnes of goodies inside hidden away. Jordan is very knowledgeable as this was my very first reptile he went into a great deal of detail and there was no pressure or sale pushing which I loved as I was still uncertain in my choice. In the end I decided on a bearded dragon and the help didn't stop there either after the purchase,he's been there every step of the way . He is just brilliant and replies to all my messages and nothing is too much trouble . The other thing to mention too he's got a good sense of humour ,he makes me laugh . Hoping to get a geko leopard next 🤞🤞🤞🤞
