Pet City in Mt Gravatt is pretty good, but they don't have too much on the reptile side, at least not at the moment anyway. I was in there the other day and forgive me but i dont remember what species they kept i think they had an adult female mac, thy had hatchlings of some sort but for the life of me i can't remember what they were... something with spots and i saw a handful of young bearded dragons. they also have crazy-looking stick insects, hermit crabs, scorpions etc.

They have a massive amount of fish selection though, so if you have a marine tank (and a fair bit of money) they have good quality fish, I would assume they had the same care for their reptiles. like i said earlier I find them a bit pricey, but they are just up the road from me so its convenient for a quick run to the store for food or whatever.

I haven't really found a good-priced store around here yet actually, maybe i'm hoping to high for cheaper products? maybe i just need to start making friends with the staff at Pet City

I wasn't too fussed on Pet City. They have to be one of the most expensive around. Most of my purchases have been birds tho. Only recently went to Reptiles.

i would say they are mid-range on prices, i have seen some higher prices and lower prices than their stock at other stores, not too bad. generally good customer service too.

Nerang pet barn are definately a good start, i know where they get some of their hatchlings and they are an excellent quality, i bought mine from the breeder who supplies them and honestly would buy a snake from them in the future, they won't buy any snakes that are not feeding and have to shed 3 times. i have alot of friends who have bought children's and spotted from there that have never had a health problem.

There are a few shops that i don't wish to mention particular names but i have found they had particularly poor quality snakes, some where absolutely tiny and some sick, i haven't seen anyone mention their name anywhere so i'll bite my tongue on their name.

Mt Gravatt, I thought was fairly good. Got my enclosure and heating/lighting from there. People very helpful and lat time I went to look their hatchies seemed in pretty good condition. On top of the click-clacks there is "date last fed" and "date last shed" etc so they seem to care..

Westside Pets & Aquarium in Taringa, Brisbane is fairly good. I bought my Mac from there and've never had a problem, and last time I was there they had plenty of hatchies.

Pet City is OK, they have OK prices for a petshop and a great range of fish, i rescued some from them a few weeks ago.
