"Helped us get set up for our beautiful bearded dragon, they sold us everything we needed and shared their wisdom of how to care for it as we were first time customers. It's been 4 ish months and they answer our questions when we call and are very helpful. I'll be going back to them exclusively from now onryan and the crew are awesome"

"I went there yesterday for the first time to look for some more items for my gargoyle gecko and fiancé's ball python, and they were fantastic! The staff was very knowledgeable and kind. We were greeted as soon as we came in, and we were told what all they had for tank items, feeders, animals. The staff were even I forming us about their remodel they're doing as well and asked for opinions on that. Overall it was a great experience! We will 100% be back"

"Staff was really helpful and took the time to educate and explain."

"Great selection for the first time reptile owner, the seasoned hobbyist & even the big time breeders. Many different displays showing of their available animals, some house their company pets & others show off the cool custom backgrounds. If your near the area check them out, if you're not make a day trip to come out. Full supply feeder bugs and rodents."

"This is a great place to get a beardie. I got mine a few days ago, and he’s doing very well! The animals look well cared for, and the owner seems like he really does care about every animal that leaves his store which is why some reviewers think he is “snobby.” I dont necessarily think thats a bad thing, but i always believe in being open to learning new things! Herpetoculture is always evolving and changing. They also breed most of their animals in store, which is super awesome. My only warning for customers is to do your research. Many breeders rely on fairly outdated husbandry info such as 40 gallon tanks for adult dragons, when experts and modern keepers suggest a 4x2x2 (a 120gal). I know theyre hard to heat, especially if you crank the AC in the summer, but covering a small portion of the cool side with foil like he recommended has kept my temps optimal, and keeps the cool side room temperature. Although i will say it takes 2 100w halogens and a 160w mercury vapor to keep it up. (Its a very big tank so a little but of foil wont suffocate or harm them. PVC tanks like mine have a lot of ventilation.) I did check out a mercury vapor bulb, and that definitely helped keep my temps up, so those are nice when used in addition to halogens and a T5HO UVB. (Plus the extra UVB wont hurt anyone.) (Hes on paper towel until hes done quarantining. He will go on sand soon.)"
