Any good reptile shops/places in Melbourne?

Hi everyone

I'm going on a trip to Melbourne in about a month or so and I was wondering if any of you know of any good reptile stores to go to or reptile places to see?

Pails For Scales in Ballarat is worth a visit too.

All the rest mentioned above are excellent, and Bunarong is an very friendly and busy place worth a look !!

hehehe chris u work at bunarong!?!? u know richard who used to work there but doesnt any more, but he still always seems to b hanging round the shop?
hmm anyways, sorry to say this but the last few times i have been in to bunarong they have had sweet FA snakes... lots of lizards and frogs and its hell since they been re-doing that marine area... and personally i find bunarong to be just as over priced as anywhere else....

Amazing amazon in glen waverly r very good, by FAR the most hygenic, clean, and pleasant smelling shop to visit!

mentone aquarium is worth a look if u not from melbourne but have a rep for being rather on the dodgy side

and DEFINATELY take the hike to check out roy pails store, he is usually there himself on the wknds too.... he will talk your ear off for hours, get the whole shop out for u if u like.... i am VERY jelous after looking at mr moosenoose's gallery, how did u score a trip to his house? hehehe my bf would kill to check out his croc *grin*

anyway, thats my opinionated 2 cents worth
