“Not gonna lie, when I walked in and saw the place dimly lit, with water-spotted glass tanks and fake plants, I started to make some judgments about this place but HOLY HAPPY HEALTHY CRITTERS was I wrong. Rare hard-to-find reptiles and they all are in absolutely amazing shape. It’s $5 to go into the side room “Reptile Walk” or something like that - ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT. Rattlesnakes, enormous monitors, beautiful tegus and pythons, and at least one anaconda. Somebody or several somebodies know exactly what they’re doing there. I will be going back and recommending it to everyone I know who likes seeing beautiful reptiles.”

“Nice place. A lot of variety. Very help full associates. Beautiful 22 year tortoise on sales floor, minding his own business, beautiful to see. However did not have what we needed at this time. Associate referred us to someone who could help what we were looking for and did find it. Excellent on there part.”

“Lots of reptiles! Some really beautiful ones. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. If you enjoy reptiles this is a must see place. It helps to be tall when you visit though because a lot of the reptiles are in top cages.”
