I absolutely love this store the people are very nice and friendly they have a great variety and lots of exotic pets. I bought 2 axolotls here like a year ago and they were perfect they were not over priced at all considering how much they go for and the guy let me use his water pump thing that was very usefully for transferring water from bucket to tank. I would all ways get the frozen worms that were only $5 to feed to my Axolotls. and im all ways welcomed best pet store in maricopa.

I have been here twice now as I am new to the area and needed snake food. Each time visiting was amazing! The staff was very helpful and informative. You can tell that everyone there enjoys their job and knows what they're talking about. I highly recommend this store.

Friendly and knowledgeable. I enjoy hanging out sometimes and learning. Boyfriend and I own 3 reptiles that came from here. Been a wonderful experience so far. Especially for a beginner in reptiles.

Finally! A reptile store in Maricopa!The store was clean, had no odors, with a wide variety of animals!The owner was very friendly, well educated, polite and easy to talk to, he was very open with letting me examine and check the animals and very honest about their origins!Some of the tanks were a bit barren but I'm giving slack since they just opened and almost all had at least a hide or water bowl!Prices for feeders range from average to a little high, their crickets went for average/super close to retail price which was very impressive for a family owned store, although I wasn't prepared for the prices of their meal worms, I was pleasantly surprised by their option to buy horn worms individually! Definitely utilizing that!The store had decent variety of animals although I didn't think to take many photos, enjoy a Madagascar Ground Gecko as compensation.Over all, a huge step up from our only other "reptile" store, a lot of love went in and prices are overall very fair to impressive for a non major retail reptile store.Keep doing amazing guys! I'll be coming by again!

The animals are lethargic, the enclosures are dirty and have massive calcium buildup from improper maintenance. The facility is not sanitary, products are covered in dust and dirt.

Ruben & family are absolutely wonderful. You will feel like home here and so do the animals. Stop in and say hi to Biggie, the shop mascot.

My girlfriend and I love coming Into the shop! It reminds me of being a kid and hanging out at reptile stores with my dad. Ruben and his wife are both super friendly and knowledgeable! They can supply any equipment or food you may need. If they don't have it they can get it and overall the owners just really go above and beyond for everyone. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a new pet or looking for feeders.

Quick service. They have a decent selection of products for your pets, all at great prices. I get crickets for my leopards and they love them, obviously. Wish you were closer though!

Selection seemed ok for a small town place, one thing I found odd was how everyone says they are so friendly / helpful ect. I walked in and was checking out the store for a good 15 minutes and no one welcomed me nor asked if I needed help / was looking for anything specific. I ended up leaving and getting what I needed from Amazon if I’m honest.

This place is so clean and well stocked. The family that owns this establishment is very welcoming, courteous and knowledgeable about reptiles. I'm thankful they are here locally in maricopa and I don't have to drive out to chandler.

We had such a wonderful experience. The owner was very friendly, knowledgeable and polite. He not only talked with my husband and I but he also spoke with our 9 year old son and answered all of his questions. We left with our first leopard gecko and entire set up! We couldn't be happier with the experience. So happy to have a reptile shop close by and know if we have any questions they are close by to help answer any questions. Highly recommended!

Was not greeted when we came in. Absolutely no inter action. Maricopa local. Was actually thinking about buying a bearded dragon. I'll go somewhere else

Love this store so much. Very nice people. Love that it's a family business. I get roaches/crickets for my bearded dragon and mice for my sand boa every few days to every week.

Absolutely amazing store. Owners are super knowledgeable and I haven't had a single issue with any of my purchases. Cannot recommend this place enough. It's my go-to reptile store.

Extremely happy to finally have a new reptile store! I hate having to leave town constantly. Really good selection on Iso’s.The only concerns I had were that some of the viewing tanks were too high to see any specimens for us vertically challenged and obviously the kidosI wish to see “plant only” terrariums. I would feel more comfortable knowing which plants are thriving in a high humidity environment.I bought two 18" sticks for my viv and those came out to $60 as opposed to $30 in town.I Know this store has HUGE potential for growth and hope to see what more it has to offer going forward. Very kind store owners who love their customers. I highly recommend s supporting this business!
