Stopped by Evolution Reptiles on my way past Oxford this morning and was really happy with the experience. The owner was friendly, knowledgeable and clearly cared about the welfare of the animals in store. This was reflected in the enclosure conditions and lighting/heating provisions provided. I’ll be sure to pop in again next time I’m in the area. Would recommend!

Popped in at the start of December to purchase my first jumping spider, did many months of research beforehand, spoke to the owner Pete for over an hour and he was absolutely brilliant, answered all of my questions and concerns, even got onto the subject of my interest in tarantulas also, I was treated as if I was the only customer in the shop, 100% focused. Anyone looking to purchase their first spider, reptile or whatever, evolution reptiles is the place for you, honestly, it doesn’t matter how far you have to travel, that time will be worth it, I’m looking forward to my future purchases.

Everyone is so friendly and extra brownie points for remembering all our names! We have been coming for the last two and a half years now. Coming in six months before buying a bearded dragon they helped so much not only in the maintenance and how to look after one but also our confidence. Always a pleasure to come here. Thanks for everything

Experienced team

Pete (the boss) started keeping reptiles back in 1992 and has worked with reptiles for over 20 years. There’s nothing he doesn’t know about reptiles.

Nicole started with one crested gecko and grew obsessed with all the facts there are about them. And then she got the reptile bug…

Luke has been keeping reptiles since he was 16. His collection has grown and so has his experience which includes working as head reptile keeper at Wild Zoological Park.
