Grinning Gecko is authorised to remain open during the Corona Virus crisis.
It is vital even during the current crisis, that reptile owners (including ourselves) are able to continue to to meet the animal welfare needs of our pets.
We will do everything we can to help you and your pets during these difficult times.

We have imposed restrictions in store and are operating a counter service only.

Key workers and customers unable to attend during opening hours are welcome to ring the shop on 01253 283080 to make alternative arrangements. We are in the shop most of the day even if closed and will be happy to arrange entry by appointment.

If you should be in Isolation or have symptoms of Corona Virus please do NOT enter the shop.

If you have no one to collect your food or equipment please get in touch and we will do everything we can to get your goods dropped off at your door.

We would like to reassure all of our customer friends that all of the reptiles, including the shop pets, are doing very well. They do not seem to have noticed the changes too much. We will continue to work hard to keep our animals happy and healthy and do everything we can to help you keep your pet happy and healthy too.

If we can help in any way during this crisis please get in touch.

Community Kindness Appeal

We have a number of elderly and vulnerable customer friends who have struggled to get to the shops for basic essentials to meet their own needs. We have setup a Community Kindness Appeal to make food parcels for those in most need during isolation.

If you have any spare tins, jars or packets of food & drink, please consider donating them. Disinfectant wipes, tissues etc are also very welcome.
Thank you.
We look forward to the day we can open without restriction and share with you the joy of seeing and meeting the reptiles in store.

The Grinning Gecko Team wishes everyone safety and health during this awful crisis.
