Piedmont Reptiles in High Point is the only reptile specialty shop that I know of in NC.
Richard doesn't carry much in the way of supplies as I remember but he usually has a fair number of reptile species to offer, and he's a good guy to deal with.
I haven't been down there in 10 months or so and his shop has moved since then so I'm not sure exactly where in High Point he is now.

i saw this thread when it was originally on the BOI and i guess rich moved it while i was responding. &nbsp;i thought it was deleted so i just forgot about it. &nbsp;i had a lengthy reply typed out about stores in charlotte. &nbsp;there are NO speciality stores, but there are stores that carry products and pets for many animals. &nbsp;i urge you NOT to support PET PROS in pineville. &nbsp;i have gone in there and the first few times, everything was fine. &nbsp;but lately, their entire reptile section (up to 25 snakes plus lizards, etc..) have been covered in mites. &nbsp;normally, i don't look that close, but i saw an albino burm that i thought was a paradox albino b/c it had so many mites on it. &nbsp;i then began to look around and they were everywhere. &nbsp;i actually came home and didn't enter my place, instead, i went to a friends house and took a shower and washed my clothes b/c i was scared i had mites all over me and didn't want to introduce them into my collection. &nbsp;the last time i went there, i saw 2 boas covered in mites that looked like this click here.

that's a sign of IBD... and THEY HAVE MITES!!! &nbsp;i commented about that to the store manager and he just blew me off. &nbsp;i will never go back in there.
but, i do frequent a pet store named &quot;last place on earth&quot; on north tryon near the university. &nbsp;james is a fairly knowledgable guy who cares about his animals. &nbsp;he doesn't keep too much stock as far as reptiles go, but like any good pet store, he can get you what you want. &nbsp;just thought i would put my .02 about this. &nbsp;like i said, i had more written the last time, but your thread was moved and i thought it was deleted, so i just forgot about it.
