Absolutely devastated to hear this - my second ever Leopard Gecko, Squib, who passed earlier this year at 11 years old was from CPR.
Please support your local pet shops ❤️
Dear Friends and Customers,
After more than four decades of serving this amazing community, we are heartbroken to announce that (Aquaplan) Crystal Palace Reptiles will be closing its doors for the last time at the end of September.
This has been an incredibly difficult decision for our family. Sadly, a combination of serious illness, along with an extraordinary increase in rent demands and business rates, has made it impossible for us to continue.
Running the shop has been a true labour of love. We’ve cherished every moment — every scaly visitor, every curious question, and every passionate conversation with fellow reptile lovers. As much as we love what we do, continuing under these circumstances just isn't possible.
We want to thank each and every one of you for your loyal support over the years. Your passion, kindness, and trust have meant the world to us — and we truly couldn’t have done it without you.
Though this chapter is coming to an end, the memories and connections we’ve made will stay with us always.
Please keep an eye out in the coming days and weeks for special discounts and some truly wild offers — after all, everything’s got to go!!
With heartfelt thanks
,
Darren Biggs, Carole Moore and the all the CPR team
