I live in the South Jersey area and would welcome a reptile shop! I love your idea of selling the proper caging--something besides aquariums for snakes. We have to upgrade soon and the big chains seem to stock reptiles as an afterthought and the selection of enclosures and supplies for them is horrendous.

We feed frozen/thawed and having someplace to go that stocks those would be a blessing as well. Our choices around here are the big chains (very costly) or tiny all-purpose pet shops that stock frozen feeders that are cheaper but leave much to be desired.

Plus, it would be fun to have a place to just go and browse with other reptile enthusiasts! All-in-all, it sounds like a wonderful idea to me and would welcome your shop with much enthusiasm!
