Default Pets at home. - 04-05-2010, 06:52 PM

Hey i was just wondering if anyone has got any reptiles from pets at home ?
My local store has what im looking for and am going to pick up tomorrow.

Only thing is alot of people have told me to avoid big shps like this and go to a breeder as the animals are not so well looked after in stores ? Im hoping someone can put my mind at ease having used this chain and got healthy, happy animals.

I personally have only bought from reptile only shops (on the advice of others) but mostly from breeders so I can see the parents and quiz the owners on their knowledge and view their set-ups. I wish you luck but its not a path I would take,sorry

I had wanted to go to a breeder but i can not find one anywhere near me and the thought of a courier freaks me out. Would be different if it was only a short journey.

Whereabouts are you based? And what are you looking to buy? Maybe someone can recommend a local breeder...
