The severity of the neglect and mite infestation here is alarming. There is clear evidence there has been an issue for months. Infested animals are still listed for sale. They don't have enough water to submerge their body to fight the mites. Two boas have severe swelling on their faces with nose damage, indicating infection. One is nearing deathly levels of underweight. Their enclosure is LITTERED with waste, an alarming fact given how infrequently they use the bathroom (if we went so long between peeing we'd pop!). Literally nothing here is valuable enough to enter this building and risk bringing an infestation to you and your pets. When the owner spoke to me in the parking lot he was incredibly dismissive "we're doing everything we can about the mites, come back in two weeks and it'

I had a great time coming in everyone was extremely helpful . I saw beautiful bio active tanks for geckos . So many snakes have had their tanks redone . I even was here to see a vet treat a boa . What a great experience seeing everything and educated from the staff

Great store with a great knowledgeable staff. I believe family owned/ could be wrong. Been a customer for over 25 years. I've bought a variety of pets from fish, iguanas & a snake. Great store with reasonable prices. Should absolutely be supported

I like this store but… it’s getting ridiculous at this point. Bought snakes here almost 4yrs ago now, brought them home completely mite infested. 3yrs ago brought home more snakes completely mite infested, 2yrs ago again completely mite infested and also covered in bloody wounds from being left in with live rats.

And now, still all of their snakes are MITE INFESTED. I’ve seen Facebook posts of their animals infested, sick and having mouth/face/scale rot. Today I got some mice, they came in a box that was coated inside with dried out diarrhea. Th

I called this store on Monday inquiring about a pacman frog which I got a lead on Facebook about. The guy on the phone was very kind and patient. Today I went to pick the little guy up, drove an hour and a half both ways to get him. The store smelt like a pet store, nothing too overwhelming. Great selection of animals. The staff were kind and patient. Would definitely drive the hour and a half both ways to visit again! Thanks guys!
