Hi everyone,

Didn't know where to post this!.....

Just wondering if anyone has dealt with these guys (crystal palace reptiles) before, I live near the shop and have heard some good things about them e.g reps in good condition, know their stuff, helpful etc. So if anyone can give me some info it would be most appreciated!

Thanks Very Happy

I've never purchased any reps from Crystal Palace Reptiles But I have visited the shop. The reps looked in excellent condition, Every viv was extremely clean. When I was there they were cleaning out the hatchlings. The shop smells of reptiles and NOT strong ammonia like some shops I've visited. I've never seen so many different and unusual reptiles in a shop before. The reps are kept in two areas of the shop.

Nice shop, well looked after quality stock.
Also, got to say they have some of the best livefoods I've seen, especially the locust! (3times as many per tub compared to most online shops!)

Never been to shop but I bought my NERD het albino royal from CPR.
Darren who runs the place was really helpful. He used next day delivery but I had to wait till the weather was good enough before he would send it. I got paper work/photo I.D. with the royal which I thought was good.
Practically out of the box it ate a rat.
I personally give CPR 10 out 10.

Never heard a bad word about them tbh..only negative I ever hear is that prices can be a little on the high side. I would rather pay a little more though and get decent healthy snakes than save a few quid and get poor animals. Cool

just from looking at the website and knowing that they buy from n.e.r.d. is good enough for me.
