Reptiles

The reptiles here look very unhealthy, dehydrated, and malnourished. I don’t think they properly feed their animals on a decent schedule. They seem to cut corners, and I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that they feed their animals just enough food to keep them alive. I purchased a JCP from them a while back, being told it was a juvenile because of its size. However, it turns out that this snake was underfed its entire life and looked like a juvenile in terms of its size, but was actually a full-​grown adult. Ever since I acquired this snake, it has barely grown at all, even though I feed it regularly on a weekly basis. I’ve also noticed that my JCP will never accept rats, which means its been fed only mice its entire life, even though it was large enough to take small rats when I first bought it.
The animals here are also ridiculously overpriced. The markups on their reptiles are just insanely unjustified. I understand that they need to make a profit, but their prices are way above standard market prices, and in my opinion, very unfair. You can purchase much better quality, CBB animals from online breeders and stores for way cheaper, even when you take into account shipping costs!
Some of their animals are clearly sick, and lack decent husbandry. Their cages are usually dirty and many of their reptiles don’t have access to water. Some animals are cramped into tiny cages, and it’s not uncommon to see half a dozen adult bearded dragons crammed into a 20 gallon breeder. The only animals that seem to be doing well are the ones located in the back, which you need to pay $ 10 in order to simply look at. It’s a total rip off, they should not charge their customers to simply view their animals. If anything, allowing customers to see their prized animals would attract more business and increase public interest within this hobby. I’ve noticed that the overall health of the animals and business has been declining over time, so I’m not sure how much longer these guys have as a standing business. However, as of now, I can say that their future looks quite bleak, much like the future of their reptiles.

I started coming here once I got my mojave ball python. I bought things for my tank which made it more of a home for my snake. Staff knows a lot about reptiles and can easily get you started with knowing how to take care of your new pet. Came in twice now to get a small rat to feed my snake. You can also buy a small rat and an employee will feed it to the gator in the front which was pretty cool. It’s located right next to revolution bar and music hall.

Need a snake? Come here. Like turtles? Come here. Need some mice/​rats/​crickets to feed your reptile? Come here. They have some cool lizards, snakes and a whole array of accessories for your tanks. Fake moss, drift wood, caves, animal skulls, cacti, etc. If you’re into tarantulas they have some of those too mehhhhh. Parking lot located right in the back. Small rat is $ 4.00. They also have a cool little alligator in with the turtles in the front.
