i would only buy from a pet store if i really want to support that specific pet store because it is really good, you get more choices and better prices when buying directly from breeders or at shows. also it is helpful to know the person who produced the BP, which can be difficult or impossible when you buy from a store.
I do agree with you. I won't get it, the price is very inflated! Way above what I would expect to pay. But they are a family run sole-trader who do know their reptiles! I buy my bedding and rats from there, mostly just to help fund them and they are always friendly and informative The reptile show I know near me is the Kempton Park Reptile expo, which if I remember correctly takes place in August! I can't wait to get down there.
