Herping in Oshawa.

[BoidKeeper]

I'll be travelling to Oshawa this weekend and staying for 5 days.
I was wondering if there are any herp related spots I should know about. Reptile zoo's, speacialty shops etc.
Thanks,
Trevor

nope.. oshawa only has two pet stores that sell herps to my knowledge, and both are (IMO) honestly quite terrible.

enjoy your trip regardless.. there are a few good shops within a few hours drive thou.

Yeah the only places to go to look at any herps, snakes especially, is hidden in the basements of those of us who keep them out here. Gotta agree about the pet shops in town, it's best just not to talk about them. You pretty much need to go into T.O. to see or buy anything.

Well the shops are not that interesting but if you like you can give us a call at the Durhan snake group and I am sure one of us can show you our herps ......see forum DSG

While not in oshawa, port credit pets, reptilia and the toronto zoo are a short drive away. during the summer there's indian river reptile zoo (just east of peterborough) but i found it was a bit overpriced, though they do have lots of venomous on display.

Also, don't forget Tails N Teeth up in Lindsay.. its a neat little exotics store.

Thanks guys. I plan on hitting those spots menthioned out side of Ohsawa but I didn't want to miss anything in Oshawa.
Thanks,
