Just wanted to big up my nearest reptile supplier - Wharf Aquatics in Pinxton, Derbyshire, this place is predominantly an aquarium but has a small reptile area with a knowledgable keeper. Had plenty of visits there and chats with Dave to get info prior to finally purchasing my pair of beardies. Always found the shop clean, warm and well maintained, animals all appear healthy. Most importantly Dave always has time to share his knowledge and experience and has never been in the slightest bit pushy.

Highly reccomended!

I thought Paul Thompson looked after that.
He set it up a year or two ago and was clued-up.

Dunno who runs the whole setup but the guy I always deal with in the reptile section is called Dave.
