101% incredible knowledge and curtious staff
Your first little friend, will not be alone. This shop and staff are amazing. We go back frequently, as we use Petes boarding service. Which if i may say, is also100% .! You will end up with another adorable little man. Pete , Taylor and all are so lovely. But so are the reptiles. Pete has so much experience as do the staff. Evolution is fantastic and you couldn't geta better reptilian experience. Just boarded our Beardie, and saw an unusual little guy Viper Gekko. So we will pick THEM BOTH up v soon. It is an experience of staff dedication and delightful customer care. Not a bad word can be said about Evolution Reptiles.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful review. It truly means a lot to all of us. We’re delighted to hear how much you enjoy visiting, and it’s always a pleasure looking after your bearded dragon — he’s a lovely character.
We’re thrilled you’ve found your next little companions too. The Viper Gecko is certainly an unusual and fascinating species, and we can’t wait for you to bring them home.
Our whole team works hard to make Evolution Reptiles a welcoming place where both animals and people are cared for, so your kind words about the staff and the experience really do mean the world. Thank you for your continued trust and support.

Pete and Taylor are so friendly and knowledgeable and we always get a warm welcome when we go in. The shop is well-stocked, clean and appealing, and there seems to be a good turnover of animals and accessories. I always come out feeling a bit better than when I went in. A

Fab service.
I've been coming to Evolution for about 6 years. From buying animals, to advice, to upkeep, the customer service is always friendly and informative. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Thanks all.

Thank you so much for your feedback — we're really glad to hear you're happy with the product quality, but we're sorry the delivery experience didn’t meet expectations.
We completely understand how frustrating it is when a courier doesn’t take the time to ensure safe handover. That’s not the standard we aim for, and we’ll be raising this with the delivery company to help prevent it happening again. If there’s anything else we can do to support you, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Hi Laura,
Thank you for your patience and for bringing this to our attention. I'm truly sorry for the frustration caused by the delay and the incomplete delivery—especially after your efforts to follow up with us. That’s not the experience we want for any of our customers.
I’m glad to see your full order has now arrived, and I hope your lizard enjoyed the little treat we included as a small apology.
The issue stemmed from a system update that unfortunately disrupted our order processing and created a backlog. We’ve now resolved the problem and are back to our usual service levels.
If you ever have concerns in future, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly—we’re here to help and always want to make things right. Thanks again for sticking with us.
Warm regards,
Pete
