Crystal Palace Reptiles

Probably the best reptile pet shop in South London. The staff are all very knowledgable about the different animals in the shop, from the bearded dragons, the tropical fish and the carnivorous snails!
They have a wide range of animals available to purchase along with all the various types of food you would need for them. By various types of food I mean the locusts and crickets which they have on tap for the many various lizards in the shop.
The staff offer a very good after purchase service where you can call them up for advice as well as bring your pet back to the shop if you need something checked out. There is a small car park around back which you can park for ‘free’ for 30 minutes.
They do have a policy that under 16 year olds cannot purchase pets unless accompanied by an adult, however under 16’s can purchase pet food on their own.
They have a wide range of pet enclosures for sale, along with spare bulbs, filters, fake and real plants and the list goes on.
All in all most definitely worth a visit if you are in the area and want to peruse some amphibian or reptilian pets…

This shop is very serious about what it sells. You have to be over 16 to come in unless you are with an adult.
The assistants are very knowledgeable about the fish and reptiles they sell with some unusual ‘things’ to be found there like snail eating snails which are bright green.
If you are considering buying anything from here as a first timer, let them know what you are after and get them to tell you all of the requirements you need to consider to keep the pet. They will allow you to handle things as long as you ask.
They also sell food for reptiles so easily can buy a pot of live insects for your pets delight.

I first thought that they only sell accessories for fish tank owners as their front window is cluttered with fish tanks, all shapes and sizes but I was pleasantly surprised to find this specific pet shop selling a whole range of pets. They’ve got a lot of different kinds of lizzards, snakes, and fish.
It freaked my partner out when we went around the corner and found a lot of snakes in glass tanks looking at us, pretty freaky but good to see a pet shop still catering for everything.
The store itself is pretty warm inside, probably due to all the heaters and lights for the different types of pets they’re selling. Really friendly staff always ready to help you with all your needs.
