Very rude. I had a simple question about a filter and no answer they couldn’t be any less helpful. I admitted I didn’t buy it there which was probably my mistake. I was only calling the because I thought they would be more knowledgeable but I guess they didn’t want to help or earn a new customer.

The best local pet store you’ve never heard of — Slighter and Swim has an excellent selection of animals and supplies, a gorgeous showroom of aquariums, and knowledgeable staff who can offer good advice on neat setup, animals needs, and design. This place is so good that the staff at local big box store petshops were the ones who told me to come here. Don is a real artist when it comes to designing fabulous arrangements for aesthetically pleasing tanks. If you want a showpiece designed for you, this is the place to go. Some of the male staff members are a bit tiresome to deal with (think highly of themselves and dismiss younger female customers on face or ignore you outright) but the owner and manager I usually see there seem like nice people.

Small store but nice variety. Visited the establishment because my son raises snakes UGH! They hAve fish, snakes, rodents etc. all the things you love to have in your home. NOT! Store is clean and staff very helpful. They ordered larger bags of pet food for my son to avoid excessive shipping costs. Nice of them to offer that when they certainly did not have too. My son is willing to drive further to frequent this shop versus others in the area

Pluses: they had many species of reptiles available, I don’t know much about fish, so no comment on that. Enclosures appeared clean.
Negatives: Walked in to the staff trashing customers, didn’t even acknowledge I was there and weren’t particularly friendly.
Here’s a major one. They were selling ball pythons and they had mites.

While they may be small, they have what you need and really seem to care about the animals they keep there. They make sure that people know how to handle the animals they sell as well as let them know what the animal will be like a few years from purchase.
