I would highly recommend Buzzard Reptiles. I recently purchased a heater for my boa and some other little decor pieces. Unfortunately one of the items I ordered was out of stock but Buzzard Reptiles... See more

Great site overall

Delivery is always swift, products are genuinely of good quality. Bug subscriptions are great, hardly ever have any arrive that are already dead unlike a lot of other places. Customer service is great, can email or text and someone will get back to you quite quickly

Amazing service & quality items

I shopped online and I love that you can choose from 100's of individual pieces of wood/branches/cork etc. The communication from the store was great & the delivery was quick, everything arrived in great condition- no damages to the plants or branches as they were packed so well. Will definitely be shopping with them again 👌🏻
Thanks guys!

We are first time owners of a Hermann…

We are first time owners of a Hermann tortoise and visited Buzzard Reptiles with a whole lot of questions relating to his upkeep and welfare. Wookie and his team were amazing. They were so patient and so helpful offering lots of advice and tips on looking after our little tort. It’s quite clear that these guys know their stuff and have a real passion for exotics. They also stocked many products that were hard to find anywhere else. It’s quite a small shop but with a very big heart. It’s now our happy place

Have purchased live food from buzzard…

Have purchased live food from buzzard reptile once or twice and never ever again..I would strongly advise against these people as they do not take any care when orderering live INSECTS ..I spent 20 minutes picking up loose mealworms around my home after leaving the parcel to be opened for 15 mins,it was an absolute bad experience and one I wouldn't want again..And when I complained they blamed me and would not fix the problem or even acknowledge that there was a problem. Keep away from this live food Company

Best selection of unique wood

I have ordered a few times for my pet invertebrates and this is the best site ever to get vivarium wood, seeing the individual listings and are so helpful, best prices I've seen too, big fan of the sandblasted grapevine

Item arrived promptly and well-wrqpped

Item arrived promptly and well-wrqpped. I have to say that the postage exceeded the cost of the product, and the very same item even from Buzzard Reptile was available from Amazon post free of charge. So it would be tempting to buy it from Amazon next time, but that does not seem fair, does it?
