If you are out north try Scales & Tails on Prospect Rd, or Gully Reptile Centa at Modbury. I have found both very helpful.

snakes full of mites

just if you want to buy a snake dont go there imo
and dont handle them

all is my opinion though

Please give an exact description of this place refered to as "anderson walk". I want to know business name, exact address etc. I am disgusted to hear of a business here in adelaide!
The best place to go would have to be Reptile City, my husband and I are very regular customers there, we only have good things to say about them. we bought our first python from there 2 years ago, and now have 5! They are professional, experienced and friendly, and they care about the reptile(s).
I'm not sure if they have any Bredli's this season, but definately go there for advice, vivariums, and accessories. Michael and Jason have been breeding reptiles for about 12 years, and are in in it for the love of reptiles, what more could you ask for in a supplier????

When you went to Scales and Tails, did you see the picture of Alice Cooper on the wall holding an Olive Python with the owners???? They're are another good place to go to, unfortunately living down south kind of limits my visits to scales and Tails, but I have been there twice, they had an extremely nice pair of black and gold Jungles last time i was there, unfortunately the price wasnt as attractive as the snake!! lol
