Neon gecko...

**garry002** · 08-11-09 11:53 AM

well ive been in both shops a good few times now and to be honest havent got a bad word to say about them they dont mind spending the time with you and they dont try sell you anything they let you ask and decide whats best for you which is a rare thing in a pet shop from what ive had dealings with.

To clear up the 2ft thing they will tell you when you going in they measure from nose to vent(bum lol) and they tell you that i find it very friendly and take my wee girl along most of the time and they even answer her questions and she asks alot lol

So i cant say a bad word against them but again this is just my opinion

When I asked the staff at the Barrowlands NeonGecko if they stocked aspen they laughed, told me it was rubbish and that I might as well burn the stuff.

Fair enough, they don't like it. But other people do and it's not really fair to be spoken to as though I'm an idiot because I use an aspen substrate for my snakes when the majority of others do as well. :/

i've got most of my rep's from NG paisley and yeh ive had a couple of ups and downs but nothing that would ever stop me going there and i've taken a few of there rescue's on which they got in and they helped me every step of the way with there care especially stumpy his feet had been eaten off), i don't think i would go anywhere else to be honest.....plus i've reserved the blue tongued skink they have :D *drools*

**Rumzek** · 08-11-09 08:42 PM

ooh that is a nice blue tongue theyve got, bit pricey tho do they still want £160 i got mine from there at £140 lol which was also bit over priced but glad i did. hes awesome

**bellacullen** · 08-11-09 08:45 PM

yeh it is he is AMAZING everytime i go in i get him out and he loves gettin the side of his face stroked lol getting him for the OH's christmas so we have a bit of time to think of a name hahaha i don't mind paying that for him as i know he is healthy etc

**Rumzek** · 08-11-09 08:46 PM

yer they is really good pets probs me favourite smaller reps

One of the boys in my work on Friday told me that NG/Paisley are selling a Royal Python for £30 because it's not well, apparently it is a bit thin? Has anyone been in recently and can shed further light?

**bellacullen** · 15-11-09 09:08 AM

Be careful Bella, you may end up with another rescue! Thanks!

**DeadGirlSuperstar** · 15-11-09 09:29 AM

last time we were in they did have a young royal who was absolutely tiny. didnt see the price chris promptly dragged me away lol xx

**bellacullen** · 15-11-09 09:38 AM

haha hazel yeh! almost had a pine snake from them a few weeks back, andy tends to phone me if they have any that need more care than normal, and i always say yes hahahaha need to learn the word no!

**Dracyia** · 15-11-09 04:36 PM

I saw that wee garter they got in with the missing tail and how thin it was and not eating, but I got it a few days ago and let me tell you Andy (Paisley) has nursed it back to health very well indeed!!! Chomping down goldfish and a rat pup. Stunning wee guy :)

Plus Davy (Glasgow) lets me play with the birds hehehe

**bellacullen** · 15-11-09 05:08 PM

yeh andy is great that way he done the same with one of the rescue's i took, asked about the royal hazel was talking about and he didn't know anything about it lol

**Dracyia** · 15-11-09 05:43 PM

Hmmm. I dunno he's always upfront about their conditions etc. He had a look at our wee burm as well the other day as it hasn't eaten yet and gave a few suggestions. Honestly don't know what I'd do without the Neon lot!

Maybe the boy in work meant the Glasgow NG? I must check with him. Thanks for asking anyway Bella. I was just curious what was wrong with it.

**DeadGirlSuperstar** · 15-11-09 09:02 PM

it could maybe have just been a mix up with the price? we saw a wee one in a box by itself (not with all the other royals which are housed together). looked tiny but in saying that could just have been really young.

gibbering nonsense now lol xx

**boze** · 12-12-09 01:29 PM

Called Neon Gecko a week or so ago to price a female hognose hatchling and they wanted £150 and said the ones they had in were "too small to sex"......If there's one thing I hate, it's being lied to! Even if they had said "sorry we dont have the right equipment to probe small snakes" I'd have been happy, but instead they lied...

**lateralusf** · 16-12-09 11:58 PM

Cabt say i agree with that in the slightest, many people throughout the reptile community,myself included will not probe small snakes, there is much less margin for error and accidents cn happen

**Rumzek** · 17-12-09 02:45 PM

ye arent hognose hatchlings tiny? would be difficult to probe accurately at that size as there would be hardly any diffrence between male and female

**lateralusf** · 17-12-09 02:48 PM

definately. Seems only sensible to me, would be very intricate,the chances of doing damage massively increased
