kieren, I'm in east yorkshire -
I have a good collection of monsters and have had a few from wharf in the past - Richard normally sorts me out with some good stuff - the thing with wharf is that the really good beasties go very quickly .. I've not been for more than 6 months but hear that at the moment the selection is not brilliant - I think they've been concentrating on the reptiles and marines.
I get fish from all over, pier at wigan is good, BAS at bolton, closer to me there's Birleys at sandtoft which occasionally has some good stuff (I got a B. filamentosum there), in hull there's Frisbys. I believe that there are quite a number of stores close to you that are pretty good - I have a mate that lives in sudnerland - i'll get a list of shops from him.
ALso, yes as far as I know the only truly aquatic freshwater turtle is the FRT from australia and PNG ...
