I popped into my local pet shop today and wasn't impressed - 3 very tired/dead looking geckos in a viv and boxes of dead locusts and mealworms 
So I headed over to South Wigston where I thought I may have seen a reptile shop. I remembered correctly - hurray! - so went in.
Wow! Lots of beautiful vivs, immaculately clean, lights all correct for the type of lizard/snake/tortoise.
Boxes of live food that were very much alive!
They were so helpful - she gave me a single cockroach, free of charge, for Reggie to try. Didn't want me to commit to buying if he wasn't going to eat them 8)
They also provide holiday care for reptiles - £2 per day.
She told me they were open every day - yes EVERY day, including christmas day, as they had to be there every day anyway to care for the animals.
So if you are in the area - Rainforest Reptiles in South Wigston, Leicestershire is well worth a visit 8)
