Honestly i cannot recommend Smiths highly enough.We came in a few weeks ago to buy a vivarium and all of the things we would need to get a leopard gecko for my eldest son, Sam from the Reptile section was AMAZING, she chatted with the kids about the reptiles, showed us what we would need for a set up, then asked my sons of they would like to meet the gecko (i hadn't intended on buying one that day, only getting the viv and set up first) but the second Sam placed Mihawk in my hands wr immediately fell in love with him. Sam was so reassuring and supportive to my youngest who was a bit weary and she gave the kids so much excellent advice on how to care for the species.We ended up purchasing the gecko we had been allowed to hold and Sam even let my son write the geckos name and his name on the enclosure to make it "official" until we were able to pick him up later in the week.Ive never build or set up a vivarium before and I was so worried I would get it wrong, but I was able to message Sam through he Facebook page and she gave me incredible advice and guidance and then checked the final set up/temps etc to make sure it was suitable for the gecko before I brought him home.Its my first time owning a reptile and although I spent months researching, the support and advice Sam has given (and continues to give) has been invaluable and mihawk is thriving in his new home.Even when I popped back in over a week later with a query Sam recognised us and asked how we were getting on with Mihawk.Honestly the animals, especially the reptiles are so well cared for at Smiths and the staff are so helpful and actually knowledgeable, I would never go anywhere else.
