THE Basingstoke branch of Pets at Home will be holding reptile workshops throughout August to showcase a number of different animals including snakes, bearded dragons and geckos.

Between 2pm and 3pm tomorrow, and next Thursday and Saturday, customers to the store, at Hatch Warren Retail Park will be able to feed and hold a selection of reptiles and speak to specially-trained reptile advisors.

Debbie Wright, deputy store manager, said: “A reptile workshop is a great opportunity to showcase our reptile expertise and also provide customers with the chance to learn a bit more about keeping and looking after these more unusual pets.”
