Pinellas County Reptiles

I go here every now and then just to see what they’ve got in stock. Recently got a nice Blood Python from here and the price was reasonable and there willing to work with you if you need a few weeks to pay for it. They have a great selection of reptiles and there prices are better then any other pet shops. The only thing I strongly disagree with is there horrible hours. There open from 2 – 7 Monday through Thursday while other pet shops are open normal hours. They would definitely get more business from me if they were actually open with regular hours.

There just simply isn’t another place I’d go for all things reptile… even if I just need feeders for my pets, I’d rather make the drive here (I live about 20 minutes away) than to stop at any of the 4 – 5 pet stores that are closer to me. I have purchased 4 snakes from this store – a sand boa, a colombian boa, and two ball pythons– and all have been wonderful additions to my collection. The employees are all incredibly knowledgable – they are all quite clearly passionate about reptiles themselves, and are always willing to lend a helping hand. We even had these guys do a show for my son’s 4^th birthday party… It was a blast, and the kids learned so much!
I can’t recommend this store enough!

Glad we found this place! They have everything we need to take care of our crested gecko! I was fearful being a specialty store things would be overpriced but they aren’t at all. They were actually cheaper then Petco! Staff is knowledgable, they took the time to show us what we needed and answer all our questions. They also have an extensive reptile collection and I’m sure my fiancé will be returning to get a bearded dragon! One stop shop for all our needs!

(This review is addressing the 54^th ave location)
I have a 4 month old veiled chameleon and this is where I purchase his discoid roaches. I love that occasionally there are sales on the roaches. They also have a wide selection of materials that you would need if purchasing a reptile.
The complaints I have are as follows: I asked to be put on the «call list» for when this location received the next shipment of Phoenix worms, silkworms and also butter worms. Two months pass, and still no call. I eventually go in and purchase Phoenix worms and silkies, and they said they had just ran out of butter worms. I was mad because… what’s the point of a call list. if you don’t call??? Another complaint I have is about the silkworms. The SAME DAY I purchased my silk worms, I open up the container at home and I notice their food is COMPLETELY COVERED with feces and MOLD! So as of right now I managed to scraped off the mold and switch to a more ventilated bin but it keeps coming back to the infected food. My population is now dying thanks to the poor husbandry from the staff. Honestly I would NOT recommend buying any materials such as lighting etc or small things like tongs or thermometers because you can find them for much cheaper on Amazon. For example, at the store they have a 5.0 UVB bulb for around $ 14. I got mine on Amazon for $ 8. For my feeding tongs, the ones at the store were $ 6 but on Amazon they were $ 4.
I also hate the fact that whenever I go inside, even when they first open, there’s always people talking in line to the people behind the counter so I end up waiting about 30 mins just so the person in front of me can have a nice little convo. Why does it take 30+ mins to get a bag of bugs?

This is the only place to go for reptiles, supplies and a vast source of information. The place and all of the enclosures are immaculate 100% of the time. All of the staff are well educated on any reptile you could inquire about and they all LOVE what they do!

hands down the best reptile specialty store in the area.
we were going to various other places for reptile supplies and feeders and we were never really satisfied. then we found this awesome husband and wife run gem and haven’t looked back. unlike some other places, you won’t find dead animals for sale and questionable feeders here. this place is clean, they take care of their animals, they care and are knowledgeable. they are also passionate about exotic animal awareness and education. they carry supplies, feeders and high quality animal specimens… as a result, our small «zoo» has grown greatly since finding this place.
