Jabberwock Reptiles

Fantastic shop! There is a great selection of tarantulas at fantastic prices. I have purchased several snakes and Ts (my wife thinks TOO MANY snakes and Ts) and they have all been in great health. They also deal with local breeders, so you know where the animals are coming from instead of wondering how accurate the lineage is.
Highly recommended!

Great place. The only place in the state that can cater to my exotic reptiles and amphibians. They also purchase from local breeders and have a great and every changing selection of captive breed animals. The staff is very friendly And very knowledgeable. I absolutely recommend checking them out

Jabberwock is fantastic! If you are looking for a reptile store, search no further! I have made two three hour drives and am about to make another to go to this place and purchase tarantulas. Their prices are reasonable, good customer service, and it’s clean and organized.
I can’t say enough good things about them. If you are within any sort of reasonable driving distance, the trip is well worth it.

This place is fantastic! When we got our baby beardie we didn’t know much. We got him at another local pet store in Mass that deals with a local breeder. But it didn’t matter! Jabberwock was fantastic. They helped us with all our questions and the items we needed to get for him. As he grew they helped us along the way. You can go in and pet and hold their baby beardies and you can tell that they have been handled. All of them have been socialized. They breed their own and you can see the breeders there are big and healthy as well. We have also seen lizards that were surrendered and they have put them up for adoption. It proves that they do care about the welfare of their animals and they are just not product and stock to them. They didn’t even judge us or laugh at us when one of us (not me) almost lit the apartment on fire with the basking light. Instead they reassured us accidents happen and sold us the solution to make sure it never happened again!
We also used their boarding service quite often after we came home to a cricket fiasco when a friend watched him over a weekend once. (20+ crickets loose in the tank and a very fat beardie!) He always came back content and full. They never had a problem holding him and even complimented us on how friendly he is. Even when we were on vacation and got stranded for 5 days due to consecutive snow storms and cancelled flights they had not problem taking care of our pet. They even showed us how to clip his nails because he had become a bit of a weapon!
This was our go-​to store for all our needs! And we ended up with a great big beardie with their help!
The downside is that they only have one location! We moved across the country and we can tell you that this store is amazing! It is clean and knowledgeable. When we had to board for a couple weeks during the move, they were more than willing to help. We also had a pet service come to pick him up to fly him out after our stuff (and his tank) were delivered. The people at the store made sure that he was packed up correctly and we were so happy he arrived alive!
I cannot thank them enough and I cannot recommend them enough to anyone looking for a reptile store. Brad thanks them too! ;-)

Yesterday I got a bearded dragon. They breed him, and he is super healthy and strong. They have a great variety of decorations and reptiles. The staff are super nice and a willing to walk you through the things you need and what to get. I called about a question and they were really nice and gave me a great answer. Definitely go here when looking for reptiles!

My daughter and I went here yesterday for the first time to look for some hermit crab accessories. We’ve had a small terrarium of them for a while now, and she was interested in an additional crab, a larger terrarium, and some tank décor.
The staff was very friendly and helpful, and they had a great selection of terrariums. I had looked at tanks at the leading national pet store chain, and didn’t find anything that fit our needs. This place had a lot of good choices at reasonable prices, and we picked up a nice square tank that had almost the square footage of a 20 gallon long fishtank but it was a square which made a lot more sense for our needs. They also stocked a lot of great choices for driftwood, cork, etc to decorate with and provide terrain for your pet to climb or hide.
The crab she selected seems very friendly and active, and so far has been a great addition to our new «crabitat».
Years ago I used to have several lizards, so although I didn’t need any today– we did look around and they had a fantastic selection and the pets all seemed healthy and well cared for. You could tell the owners were enthusiasts and not just there to make a buck.

Jabberwock is such an amazing store. I wish I had found it sooner. I’ve been going consistently for about a year or so since finding this hidden gem, and I couldn’t be happier with them. They have a great selection of animals, including some rare animals that I had never seen before in person (like the cinnamon tree frogs I recently purchased). The animals are healthy and well cared for, and several of them are captive bred within the store. They also carry reasonably priced products to help care for your cold-​blooded friends (lights, enclosures, heat pads, etc.) as well as a good selection of feeders. One of their biggest assets is the staff — they are all truly knowledgeable about the animals they carry, and they are super friendly. As a reptile-​geek myself, I love talking to them about what they have in the store, and at home. Unlike other pet stores, I am fully confident that they are giving me accurate information about the care of the animals I’m interested in purchasing. So far I’ve taken home 10 pets from their store, and all are thriving. Steve, the owner, is probably one of the nicest guys I have ever met. If you have any reptile needs, or just want to go look at some really cool animals, head over to Jabberwock — you won’t be disappointed!

Excellent gem of a store. Reminiscent of Boston Tropical with no fish and friendlier staff! Wonderful selection with great prices! Well worth going out of your way to support this local business!

Whoa. This place has a FANTASTIC selection of reptiles at a VERY reasonable price! I just purchased a baby translucent veiled chameleon for my boyfriend’s birthday and he fell in LOVE! I also purchased a container of fruit flies that «Remy» has been gobbling up! I highly recommend this store for all of your reptile needs. I drove all the way from CT just to come here and I’m one very satisfied customer! I will absolutely be returning. All of the animals appeared to be well fed, in clean enclosures and happy!

My boyfriend and I recently made a visit to Jabberwock Reptiles and we were thoroughly impressed! There is so much to look at and the staff was happy to be of assistance. The overall appearance of the store is nice and tidy, with animals that are well-​kept. Jabberwock truly has everything you need for your reptiles. Our experience was nothing short of awesome. We even walked away with a juvenile Mack snow leopard gecko and she is a total sweetheart!

I’m thoroughly impressed. I am also very thankful I don’t always need to be going to Manchester NH for my reptile supply /​food needs any longer. Very good selection. The stock appears to be in good shape. They have plenty of staff on hand and a good selection of live and frozen foods. Fantastic selection of supplies from cages to hide boxes and artificial plants. I can’t believe I didn’t know about this place!

Went here today for the first time, the shop is super clean and well kept. The owners and the workers here are very helpful and know their reptiles. A+ will be heading back here ASAP to pick up some new pets.

Found out about this place on
and today was the first time I have stopped at this store. For being such a small place, they have an amazing selection, and they don’t compromise cleanliness with the amount they have! The guy that waited on me (store owner maybe? He was at the register) was very friendly, and fun to talk to! I will definitely be back for more T’s and possibly some poison dart frogs!

My review is a strange one, but so be it.
Most of my review is based upon just overall positive feelings about the place. I remember during a major blizzard the owner letting people know (via facebook) that the business still had power and if people wanted to bring their pets over there they could.
I’ve been there a handful of times, but their specialty is in more land-​based reptiles (and my pet is an Aquatic turtle). Their selection of pets, equipment, and food options are great.
I generally just go there for light bulbs, but the pets seem very well cared for and the owners of the store seem really invested in both the happiness of the animals and of the customers.

I have since moved away 400 miles west to Rochester, NY and I STILL receive great advice from the owners. He was especially helpful via the internet in helping me calm down and locate my escape artist gecko.

Just obtained our first reptile for a very happy six year old. The person helping us was very sweet and informative. He g ave us great advice and was very patient with our unending questions. Wonderful place and soooo much better than a petco.
