Reptile Room,

1223 A Street, Hayward, CA 94541

"Love coming here every time I'm visiting family. Their reptiles are always active and healthy and I would love to take one home sometime. however I have one of my own and oftentimes need to buy feeders for him while I'm here. the feeders are quite expensive but you do get a lot of them. I buy the hornworms ($22.+tax)."

"One of my new favorite spots in the area. The people are great. The environment is awesome. I just got my newest member of the family from here along with everything needed to care for him. Definitely going to be going in more often."

"My son has been waiting and prepping for a pet snake for a few months. We went to Petco to get the cage but the staff had no clue and no help, nice but looked at us crazy for wanting info. Reptile Room is Soo much more helpful than a bigger dept. I don't even like snakes that much, but almost brought home a rescue snake too! Thank you! Our sweet Eve could not travel with us, they have taken very good care of her!!!"

"Please don't support this place. It's infamous for a reason (despite the shockingly high rating on Google). I really wanted to like this place; the drive from my house isn't long, and the architecture looks great, but I just can't after seeing what I saw. Animals are seriously neglected, seemingly for weeks or even months at a time (water bowls don't get that moldy in just a week.) They were either lethargic or desperately trying to escape. Adults are inappropriately kept together. Enclosures are tiny with no enrichment, and sometimes no hides. Avoid this place. Most others recommended East Bay Vivarium, though I haven't been there myself."

"This is an absolute gem in this town. I was absolutely surprised that such a specialized store exists in town and in such a nice location. The building is incredible, all made of glass. Inside you get a lot of supplies, reptile food and a vast selection of reptiles, snakes, dragons, chameleons, and arachnid. The staff is the most kind and knowledgeable. Incredible place."
