Jay's Jungle

"I really want to like this local shop but every time i go i feel uncomfortable and see poor husbandry. I am very concerned about these 2 specific snakes that are in a much too small tank. I wondered if they maybe had just been surrendered or maybe it was just a temporary set up or maybe they were currently paired for breeding but looking through reviews on here it appears they have been in this same tank for at least 2 years according to a picture on an old review. Reptiles are very easily mistreated because they can survive long term neglect. But just becasue an animal is alive doesn't mean it is okay to keep them like this. These snakes should be housed alone in much larger tanks with multiple hides and the ability to move from a warm side to a cool side. I don't know if they just are unaware or just don't care about these snakes. There are a lot of other husbandry issues with many of the animals It's just that the condition of these 2 snakes combined with knowing they have been kept this way for years is really shocking and upsetting. I want this store to do better for their animals."

"This is with out a doubt the most disgusting pet shop I have ever been in to. The employees are very rude and have no clue how to care for their reptiles. I found dead animals in enclosures, every snake was covered in mites, and almost all of the reptiles were severely under weight. They also had no pest strips sitting on top of cages, which are not meant to be used around people. Even in the brief time I was in this shop I over heard the employees asking each other if the customer noticed what was wrong with the animal they wanted to buy. I didn’t get spoken to once the entire time I was in the shop, just glared at and almost pushed by an employee. The one picture shows 4 large ball pythons in a single 40 gallon tank."

"I adopted two chinchillas from here. While the employees were very nice and helpful, the chinchillas set up was awful. They had no padding in their cage for their feet putting them at risk of bumblefoot, no dust bath, the chin on the top half of the cage had no wood to grind his teeth on, plastic ramps and platforms with no covers for the chins feet, etc. While the chin on the bottom at least had some hay the one on top did not even have any Timothy Hay. Additionally, the chin on the top of the habitat was provided with a metal wheel for exercise, however this type of wheel hurts chinchillas feet. His ramps that attaced to his platform had broken off and were just laying on the floor of the habitat. Finally the temperature in the store was far too warm for the animals. This store offers a variety of birds, fish, reptiles, and small animals. They need to regulate the temperatures for the various animals, reptiles, and fish. Overall the employees are very nice and friendly, however they do not seem to know how to properly house the pets they offer."

"Wonderful selection and great customer service! 10/10 recommend! If an animal is sick or new Jay won’t sell it which is great that he cares so much! These people are very knowledgeable and honest. Would recommend checking out if you’re in the area."

"The pets were healthy and there is a really good selection of harder to find fish. The location is fairly messy. Lots of boxes and spider webs. The staff was helpful but seemed sad. They didn't speak much and seemed disinterested in being there. It's not that they were unfriendly, they were just completely neutral and didn't speak unless they needed to. Kinda odd. But they were helpful. The tanks could use cleaning out"
