New telephone times
We always enjoy speaking to you. However, recently we've had to review the time we spend taking calls. It's important to us to dispatch you your orders as soon as possible ~ and to do this we need to be spending less time on the telephone in the day.
So, our telephone new policy is:
- If you are calling regarding an order or you need an urgent reposonse, please clearly leave your name, number and a breif messgae and we will return your call.
- For other enquires, please contact us via the website or if you wish to speak to someone directly, please call back after 4pm Mon-Fri
I'm sure anyone who has tried to call us, will understand (from the engaged tone) how many calls we get. Of course, if we aren't rushed off our feet we will be answering calls as usual.
Regards, Phil

Pre-Orders now available
It's quick and easy to become a UK+ member, allowing additional saving.
Some species listed on the July 2009 Pre-Order are for experienced keepers only, you must fully understand the keeping requirements (including feeding habits). For example some snakes may only feed on live frogs and lizards i.e. Mangrove Snakes and Papuan Tree Boas.
Same goes for some species of lizards and amphibians - G.chamaeleontinus are very fragile and are difficult to keep in captivity. Your enclosure must be as natural as possible to ensure the health of your new exotic pet.
All CITES animals will need to be ordered before the deadline of Sunday 31st May. Orders for non-CITES species can be taken until Sunday 14th June.
This Pre-Order is due to arrive early-mid July 2009.
