Hi, I'm looking for a male baby (only a few weeks old) common morf. I set up ready, just looking for the snake now. I'm looking to pay £60/70 or less. So please tell me what you've got. Around Stockport/sk8 or close |

manchester pets and exotics have a few and also warrington pets and exotics. whatever you do DO NOT buy from pets at home in stockport as they don't have a clue what they are talking about (i acted stupid and asked the reptile guy there some questions, in which he answered them all wrong lol) also try preloved.co.uk as there is a breeder in prestwich |

The nearest to me is Stockport pet warehouse, but there's no babies at the moment. I did that, for showing up the guy who worked there I was kicked out Stockport store for 'harassing' the guy. I have preloved, I can't find anything. I hear viper & vine are good, think I should have a look in there? |

do you drive? if you do warrington pets and exotics is the best pet shop I've ever been in my life and I've been to quite a few. if not then manchester pets and exotics in ardwick is also pretty good. its just straight down the A6 just before town.... haha thats funny. was it some fat dude? he told me royal python adults should be kept on heat mats all their lives in vids and never use ceramic or in fared bulbs... what a idiot! |

No I don't, I can't get lifts but that's rare. I hear the one in ardwick don't look after there reptiles, I went in and they mix the reptiles, they have leopard geckos in with bearded dragons. I'm sure I saw a tree frog with fire bellied toads. There's one at the other end of the A6 that's better but they don't have babies in much. And well, of it has the heat it didn't need it or a bulb cause it nocturnal but a basking spot is preferred. |

Yeah! It's horrible how they treat their reptiles, usually they have mites and I've heard most of the animals die. Well I might go there. And I do I have leopard geckos, turtles and fire bellied toads, and worked in a reptile shop. I'm near wilmslow, I'm in cheadle hulme. |

I will do, right now I'm Not at my computer but I will later. :) and the Stockport pet werehouse, was a few years back, I think it's under new management now. I got a lot of knowladge from there :) I know, and that giant tortoise cooped up. They don't care about them, they just want money I want to go in and give them a piece of my mind. |

I love my gecko, she's really friendly had her for almost 6 years! I plan to breed my own morfs of leopard gecko and royal python. My dream is to own an exotics shop, one that can be trusted too! I hate how some places care more about money than the animals they are supposed to care for. And hopefully not! If I do, the RSPCA can handle it. Better than them suffering.

Don't want to sound like a wet blanket - BUT, the RSPCA DON'T handle animal abuse well, I'm sorry to say.
It's left to the man - or in my case the woman - in the street to pick up the pieces. Seen it time after time and (inadvertently)got many of my critters that way. Very sad - would like to give those guys a good press but can't. |

WELL! i guess its up to people to stop buying from there, everyone, they'll go out of business and probably close down, the animals that are there now, well, lets hope they have a closing down sale we can get the ones that need to get out the most. like the caimans (no land for them to sit, crowded ect) and all the reptiles, i doubt even the birds are looked after. |

Sorry - and sorry for getting off topic too, but imo the only way to protect abused animals is to act by myself.
Hope you get your royal soon - and have heard VERY good reports of Warrington Exotics btw |

Good, and congrats re gecko.
Still I'm sorry to say, the RSPCA are rubbish.
If we want animals rescued, we have to do it ourselves.
