  • Highly recommend Ely Exotics.
    I've been corresponding with Tom over email for a few weeks due to lockdown. I was looking to set up a dart frog terrarium and being newbies had no idea what was needed.He has been so helpful and answered any query I had. Finally had to opportunity to pop in and collect my complete terrarium set up and I can't fault the quality or price of my equipment. I would highly recommend Ely Exotics.

  • Ely exotics is definitely the number one place to go. Quality of service is 100% Products are fairly priced andof very good quality. Their knowledge is amazing. You don’t feel silly for asking questions as they treat you with so much warmth and kindness. Please support this local business, I know I always will. Update! Purchased a new fish tank and crested gecko, I’ve called him Colin 🤣 He’s only a baby but so beautiful and so well cared for. Tom you are amazing and I highly recommend, again, Ely Exotics.

  • Got my first ever snake here!
    Got my first ever snake here! Full setup, loads of advice and help, no pressure to buy anything until I was readyand as my snake was a new arrival in the shop they kept him for 3 feeds and kept me updated on him so I knew I was getting a healthy animal. Now he's home with me in his viv that Tom advised me on. Even swapping out a part of an all in one kit for a better one in order to save me money and give my danger noodle the best start in his new life. Even now Tom is eager to see my boy grow and learn as he clearly cares about every animal he sells. If you're new to exotics like me I can't recommend him highly enough!

  • Highly recommended!
    I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in to the shop. Not only they have a vast collection of fish and reptilesbut huge array of equipment and everything you need to take your pet home the same day. Tom was super helpful and knowledgeable about the aquarium I wanted to purchase and guided through what I needed for the process. I must say the prices were really good compared to mainstream pets shops and always happy to help a local business. Highly recommended! Also good and safe COVID practice in the shop
