We don't get this species in very often so an opportunity for someone who's looking for a snake that's a little bit different and has a little bit of attitude! CB18 female Macklot's Python (Liasis mackloti, also known as the Freckled Python) - SOLD, thanks!

Is this the best or worst Christmas present? You decide! Pancake Slug - £8. This baby is going to get around 12cm - that's about as big as your hand!

User

ive been using ben for my reptile supplies for a number of years now and after being misled by other reptile shops its really nice to see someone with genuine care and knowledge for all the animals he sells. ive had two snakes and as of today an ackie monitor from him and plan to continue using him for many years to come

User

excellent only wish his shop was closer to me i have had 2 bearded dragons of them and ask lodes of questions about care all ways help me never felt like i was being a pain . intact my next baby (corn snake ) is going to got from here as he takes very good care of all animals

User

Yesterday evening me and my partner turned up to the shop 5 minutes before closing because of the traffic, we were looking to take home a corn snake and full set up. Ben was there and he was an absolute star! Not only did he put up with me freaking out about holding a baby snake for the first time (and nearly losing it �) he also gave us loads of advice and helped us find the perfect snake for us. Then to top it all off he offered to put a vivarium together for us from scratch because he didn't have any pre-built. We didn't want to bother him but he insisted this was fine, and we didn't end up leaving until 7:45, extremely happy with our decision to get an older snake and absolutely amazed with the customer service we received!

User

We looked around for a few weeks for our Panther chameleon until deciding on one from Reptile cymru. Ben was so knowledgable and helped us with every detail of set up despite constantly being run off his feet. Our new Cham is settling in well and we will be driving 30minutes each way for the fresh live food and any equipment purchases. Thanks for all the time & help Ben & Meg �

User

Very friendly people always happy to give advice and always stocked for live foods as well as variety defo recommend this place to anybody who has reptiles

User

Thank you for helping us with our new snake Leonard (my sons choice of name) great shop, the animals are healthy and happy and my little boy is mega excited about having his first snake. I would highly recommend this shop.

User

My son bought his leopard gecko and full set up from here today. Fab shop, could spend hours and hours just looking at all the reptiles. Lovely man that served us, very helpful and knowledgeable. Will definitely be coming back for a new viv for our corn snake.

User

My lovely little Emmit (African Pygmy Hedgehog) came from here and he is brilliant.



The guys at the shop have been so helpful and great with me. They helped with preparation for his arrival and even allowed me to spend time at the shop with the hedghogs before bringing him home. They are really knowledgeable and friendly.



I shall definitely be getting more exotic pets here the future. And recommending to anyone I know.



Thanks again all for all your help :)

User

Looking to start a crested gecko set up and i found the young lady there very helpful with good knowledge of reptiles a very clean shop with healthy stock. Will be back soon to get the set up and gecko ��

User

I love this place wont shop any where else! I buy live food as its always really good fresh,u can have a chat with staff any time and get advice! There always happy to help you. My bearded dragon even stays in boarding when i go away! X

User

I drove all the way from Reading to Reptile Cymru, partly because I had heard great things but also they offered the best deal. Ben was very knowledgeable and ensured I knew how to properly care for my bearded dragon. It was also very handy picking up my vivarium already built and with the lighting ready fitted.

User

I bought my first ever reptile the other day and I have to say the guys where we're amazing! They gave me so much help were really nice to me. I can't rate them enough! Wish I could give thrm 6 stars

User

Excellent reptile shop, full of advice if you need any. Sells such a range of different reptiles from all shapes and sizes. I am a regular customer as i buy all my live food from here weekly for my bearded dragon, tortoise and chameleon.

User

Customer service that goes the extra mile!

Great prices, you'll not find live feed cheaper online.

I buy locust and roaches from here and they are healthy and active.

I've bought in store and from their website and can't recommend them enough.

I also bought our bearded dragon from them and hes adorable :)

User

Can't think of a bad word to say about these guys. Always happy to give advice and information when asked in store and online. Animals all look very healthy, products are always top notch and customer service is fantastic! I don't get home until 6:30 on weekdays and no longer have access to a car, but I'd ordered a vivarium set up from them and they offered to deliver after hours (they probably didn't get home until at least 9:15). I can't thank them enough for going out of their way! Will definitely recommend to anyone looking for reptile supplies locally.

User

Came in for some substrate and left with a Giant African Millipede.. what a lovely and knowledgeable guy Ben is. The assistant was very helpful too. I will be back very soon!

User

Brilliant service from Ben today as my son bought a hognose. Good prices, friendly staff. Not the closest reptile shop to us, but we'll be making the additional journey to shop here in future where possible.

User

Awesome reptile shop. Surely one of the best in South Wales!. And very good stock of a wide variety of animals.
