The Reptile Room

About Us

The Reptile Room has been running for 5 years, and is owned by Mark Whitworth and Dean Turner. Mark has kept reptiles for many years and has successfully bred a large selection of lizards, snakes and inverts.

Becoming good friends with many of our customers over the last few years we have built a special trust with them that has enabled us to help them take their interest further... with the addition of being able to source customer reptile wish lists.

The shop has grown rapidly, in 2007 they opened a new expansion practically doubling its size and making the Reptile Room the largest reptile store in the North West! Their reputation has grown just as quickly, with customers having great success in breeding their reptiles (frilled dragons, corn snakes, Royal pythons, bearded dragons and various geckos) with many of our original customers being recognised breeders. In 2010 the reptile rooms status within the industry was recognized when they secured themselves as the UK & European Distributer for Prehistoric Pets!
