"This store is very un sanitary and the animals are not taken care of correctly, the way they treat the staff members is so wrong. i had bought a rat and from here and when i brought it home i wasn’t made aware that it was sick and it i unfortunately died.when i was purchasing my items i witnessed a staff member opening a red container that looked like a freezer and what was inside was horrifying, i witnessed TONS of dead lizards and other animals fall out i was shocked. i would not recommended this pet store at all !!!!"

"Me and my husband buy our fuzzies and crickets and worms here as well as my female ferrets who were rescues. We love the employees and Diane she has a big selection of everything. And Diane knowledge on animals is always helpful."

"My favorite store ❤️ Acceptable prices. They will always answer any question and help you. Very attentive sellers. A very large selection of parrots, lizards, snakes, freshwater fish, salt aquariums, there are also sugar gliders, and a lot of accessories for any pets."

"There was a strong, unpleasant odor upon opening the door that I have never experienced at any other exotic pet store. I asked where a heating item was and the person "helping" me acted like I knew nothing and that I was going to burn my snake alive. She then claimed that a lower temperature would be fine and that because snakes are cold blooded, my snake would adjust (that's not how being cold blooded works). She then gave me other advise that, if followed, would actually burn my snake. Her advise contradicted everything I know, what other reptile keepers have told me, what another reptile store owner told me, what reputable websites recommend, and what YouTube channels (including Snake Discovery) say. She also claimed that the store had been around since the 80's so they know what they're talking about. I didn't look at the reptiles to see how they were being taken care of but based on other Google reviews, I'm guessing this place has been doing it wrong since the 80's. I'm never going back and I would recommend others, especially those less experienced with reptiles, avoid this place."

"Amazing owner, and happy healthy animals. Variety of animals, and takes in rescues. Takes the time to answer questions and educate. They try to prevent the birds from picking themselves after coming from stressful environments and takes care after stressful molting. Let's the animal pick the owner, doesn't just give the animals to whoever. Keeps animals for years to find their perfect home! I hope this is all true, and if it is I would HIGHLY recommend this amazing little shop!"
