The Reptile Room

About Us

The Reptile Room is a business venture run by a long term reptile lover, Mark Whitworth. Mark has kept reptiles for many years and has successfully bred a large selection of lizards, snakes and inverts.

He has become good friends with many of his customers over the last few years and has built a special trust with them that has enabled him to help them take their interest further.

The shop has grown rapidly, in 2007 they opened a new expansion practically doubling it's 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, bearded dragons and various geckos).

The shop's new expansion increased the Reptile Room's size to over 220 displays filled with over 500 species of animals including a variety of turtles, spiders, lizards, snakes and inverts, as well as two snake hatchling racks with a variety of baby corn snakes, kingsnakes, ratsnakes and milksnakes which holds over 70 different morphs.

There are now four large livestock rooms, a decor room, an equipment room, a breeding room and a boarding room.

So whatever level you are at from beginner to expert you will find what you need here!

There are many large displays ranging from an Australian water dragon display to a huge ten foot by twelve foot Water Monitor display.

So that you can get some idea of what to expect at the Reptile Room we have put together a video walkthrough tour which is 13 mins and 44 seconds long and 41 MegaBytes in size. (if you don't have a high speed broadband connection it will take quite a while to load)

There are also plans to add a display for our dwarf caiman in the near future. There is always a good variety of reptiles available and all the varieties of live and frozen food you could ever need, as well as a large variety of equipment with a full range of Zoomed, Exo terra, Habistat and T-rex products.

Vivariums of all sizes are always in stock and custom made vivariums can be arranged as required.
