Scales ‘N Tails Las Vegas

What a cute little store! Lots of reptiles and all the supplies, how have I missed it for the last seven months?
The employee was friendly but not pushy, and it was fun to see all the reptiles, some I’ve owned, some new to me.
After looking the whole store over I was drawn back to the Giant Madagascar Day Gecko, and I think I’ll be looking through my supplies and making a list so when I go back I can grab one.
The have ADORABLE Nike Monitors, smallest I’ve seen in quite a while. My daughter has always wanted one, and Christmas is around the corner!
The cashier told me that the floating turtle island I asked about will be in their next order, so I’ll be back in two weeks to look again.
Plenty of parking, the store is small, and both are well lit.
If you bring your littles to look around please be sure you keep hold of their hands. There is a lot of glass, and in a small space it just safer. I could imagine kids trying to see the Tarantulas and using the cage underneath to get closer. It’s really just better to keep them close! Lol
Prices seemed good. You’ll pay a little more than a big box store, but you’ll get personalized attention and accurate info from the staff!

Great knowledge and willing to help! Look for Terry! Great and knowledgeable, I would go to him if you have any reptile question especially about Ball Pythons. I picked up a Orange Ghost and I’m madly in love with my new girl.

Decent prices. The people who work here are very informative. It looks like the animals are well taken care of. They also board pets for people who are traveling out of town.

I had to buy prairie dog food in a pinch since I forgot to do my online order. I buy from Exotic pets when needed to hold me over but they were also out, they carrier the same brand I feed. My husband found this store to buy a small plastic jar for $ 18. I could buy a 10lb bag for $ 22 normally from
Shocked about the price I ask him to go return the product one hr later after purchase and that I will just buy online. Well load and behold no cash refunds. What a rip off this place is! Also their attitude stinks. The guy my husband dealt with siad «shit» after every comment. And the attitude received when trying to return was less then appropriate. Just wow! Can’t believe these ppl are in business with the kind of attitude they have towards their customers. You think you would want to do the return and have a repeat customer then turn someone away for good. Oh well hope this helps anyone looking to buy from this place.

I was recommended by my friend Shawn to check this place out. I went in to buy some feeder mice for my snakes. They had a good selection of mice that were sized well and had better prices then Exotic Pets (which I have been to on hundreds of occasions). Will definitely be returning in the future.

Went in today to look for turtles. The gentleman that was there today was very helpful. Asked him a few questions about the turtles, even showed me one up close! I am so glad that there’s a store in Vegas that’s very passionate about animals, not just the sale itself. Will come back tomorrow to look at the hedgehogs that they have. Pretty excited!

I purchased an owner surrendered snake there this past week. They told me it was a male snake. He was 15 I was told. I went to another shop that was more knowledgeable also where they visibly took better care of their animals with the snake because the snake was just acting out of the ordinary. I had owned snakes before but never purchased one that was older. I was told that the snake was a female and that the snake had a bad case of dry rot. That she had an infection in her genitals and an upper respiratory infection. I think they thought I wasn’t going to be smart enough to figure it out or take her to find out. I feel horrible because I purchased the snake out of love however when you purchase an animal your hope is that you are purchasing an animal that’s not sick. Also, some other signs were that their chameleon’s didn’t have enough brush to hide. I know without a lot of foliage they tend to get nervous. I am super beside myself because Adam said he would take the snake back but how do I know that they are actually going to take good care of her to nurse her back to health. Stuck in between a rock and a hard place. Please if you go there pay close attention to the animal that you are purchasing. There are signs I just didn’t see. The store manager, Adam, lacked patience and was immature in his responses. It took force to get a cash refund back for the sick snake even know no where on the receipt does it say it won’t take returns.

Scales N Tails is a really nice store. It is clean, has a great vibe and all of the animals (mammals, amphibians, reptiles) look very healthy and well taken care of. We got to pet one of their adorable prairie dogs and it was so soft and friendly! Last time we were there the tortoise was walking around and seemed very used to people and extremely friendly. Great place! Definitely recommend!

Very Impressed! Yesterday was our first visit to the store and it was great. The gentleman that helped us was extremely knowledgable and very friendly; it was a welcoming environment from the second we walked in. The prices were very fair and my two tortoises are very happy with their new stuff. Thank You to the man that helped us! We will be returning customers … :)

I love the Tarantula I got here. My problem is the guy who helped me has no idea about them; Skeleton Tarantula. He did not know the age and did not know if it was male or female. For all I know it has never been handled by humans. I had to to take it to another pet shop, thankfully there was a breeder there. He told me these tarantula are for people who has experience with them. Thanks for selling me Fang but maybe know your spiders.

We bought our snake here and he is so healthy and beautiful. Great prices ! everyone is so helpful there, we go pretty often to get mice there and kids enjoy the short visits every time because they always have something new to look at. Terry is such a helpful guy, we went other day and he was busy unpacking but he still would answer all questions we had. great place !! Hopefully we can get a few more pets from there in the future.

We noticed their van driving around a month or two ago and immediately looked them up online. We have bearded dragons and were glad to find out they were opening a new location in town and in our regular Goodwill/​boba/​magic eye shopping center! It’s a small store that packs a punch. They carry zoo Med products. If you need it, I’m sure they have it or can get it for you. They will also buy quality, pre loved items from you, just call first to make sure they don’t have a surplus of said item. You can buy reptiles, feeder animals and insects and any supply you could need from enclosures to substrates and everything in between. TERRY is great. There were a few times we went in and there was a younger guy who seemed completely indifferent about our presence. We’re so glad we’ve had Terry at checkout recently. He’s very easy going and great to speak to. Thanks!

I was very pleased with my visit to the new Scales N Tails Reptile store in the Las Vegas area. The store was very clean and the enclosures we’re also very well kept in order. They are just starting out but have a pretty good selection of reptiles so far, prices aren’t bad.

Drive by, and you’ll immediately notice a bright-​green van with scales. You’re in the right spot! Scales N Tails just opened, a pet shop specializing in reptiles and their care.
They have two giant resident tortises, and several snakes, lizards, and turtles to take home– and at good prices. I like that they only stock the better brands for turtle food and supplements, the same brand I always use for my red-​eared slider.
Service is friendly and knowledgeable. No one enters or exits without being greeted and asked if they need help. Shop is small but organized. I wish I could take all of the leopard geckos home with me!
TIP They also stock hedgehog food here, which I hear can be difficult to find… despite the fact that they are not reptiles.
