Their toucans and parrots were spectacular. Yes the store is noisy but the birds seemed very lively and happy. They had huge tortoises as well and some fun reptiles too. I went with my parents and my little girls (2 and 3 years old) and we all had a great time. The owners seemed to know their animals and I wish them well in their plans to build a larger educational children's zoo here in North County. I agree with Stephanie and definitely recommend this place.

We brought our daughter in to find a reptile for her 10th birthday. We were starting from scratch…read moreand had a lot of questions about "beginner" reptiles. We went in to look at crested geckos, leopard geckos, and bearded dragons. Jesus helped us and answered EVERY single question we had about each one. He showed us babies and adults. He also told us about ball pythons. My daughter was able to hold them, too. Jesus was so patient and knowledgeable about all the reptiles. He gave us pros and cons of each. He gave my daughter time to decide and also showed her the insects and mice each one would eat. This was important to my daughter. He spoke not only to us (the adults) but really spoke with my daughter, too! We can't recommend LLL Reptile enough and are so thankful for all of Jesus' help! We now have a new pet that we are all living... even my daughter's twin sister who is not a big fan of reptiles. My daughter decided on a ball python! Thank you Jesus for your patience, knowledge, and kindness!

Now I love coming into this location- Evan is always super helpful, friendly and I can rely on him for any questions I have. He has an amazing attitude with everything! Jesus always helps direct me on where to find things and super knowledge about large snakes in particular. I used to see Josh at the Escondido location and its been a pleasure seeing him at Oceanside as I frequent here now. Always had a smile, welcomes everyone, and ready to help. There also used to be a gross incense burning that made me want to get in and out asap. Now that it isn't burning anymore I like to walk around and look at the reptiles to see if there are any new ones to add. Only rating 4 stars because the heat in there during the autumn & summer is sweltering! I feel so bad for the employees working under such hot conditions.

I have to take a minute to write this review because everyone at LLLReptile truly went above and…read morebeyond for our family. For my son's fourth birthday, my husband and I decided to surprise him with a frog. He had been asking for one for months, and the day before his birthday, we finally decided to make it happen. We had done quite a bit of research into what owning a poison dart frog would entail, but we had never actually owned a frog before, so I definitely still had a lot of questions. I went into LLLReptile the day before my son's birthday, and Niko spent so much time with me. He walked me through the entire process, answered all of my questions, and made sure I actually understood what we were getting into and how to properly care for our new frog. We decided to have LLLReptile build us a custom terrarium, and I was originally quoted a 24 to 48 hour turnaround. Since my son's birthday was the very next day, Niko suggested that I take the frog home in a small temporary enclosure so I would at least have something to give my son on his actual birthday. Then, later that same day, Niko called me and told me he had rushed the terrarium so it would be ready in time for my son's birthday. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it back over there before they closed, but I was honestly blown away that he had gone out of his way to get it finished so quickly for us. The next day, I brought my son with me to pick it up, and the terrarium was absolutely beautiful. It had live plants, water features, and Niko had even incorporated skeletons because I had mentioned how much my son loves them. There was a skeleton water dish and a skull tucked into the habitat. Those little details made it feel like it had been created specifically for him, and seeing it on his birthday made the whole experience even more special. Niko wasn't there when we picked it up, but Shane was, and Shane was every bit as warm, patient, and helpful. Shane also owns poison dart frogs, so having that firsthand experience was incredibly valuable for me as a brand-new frog owner. Shane walked me through the differences between male and female poison dart frogs, shared what to expect as we get started, and even gave me tips and tricks for dealing with the fruit flies. I just felt like everyone at LLLReptile genuinely cared about making this experience as wonderful as possible for our family. Between the education, the time they spent answering my questions, the care that went into the terrarium, and the extra effort they made to have everything ready for my son's birthday, they exceeded every expectation. My son was absolutely thrilled, and I could not write this review fast enough. Thank you to Niko, Shane, and everyone at LLLReptile for helping make his fourth birthday so special. We are so excited to be new frog owners!

Each time there is a problem with a single item in my order. One time the nightcrawlers all came all dead. Another time the hornworms came all moldy and dead. They did replace the items each time. Recently I got a promotion on line to my e-mail that people can earn points for different things, one being their birthday. We both can document how many times I have ordered, so when I asked about my birthday points I was told to put in my birthday into their system. I did, and they refused to give me any points because they said it was too close to my birthday (the reason they sent me the details of birthday points in an e-mail) They refuse to give me any points unless I give them a copy of my ID or driver's license. They can see how many orders I have made. I find this very petty since the points value is under $5. Their customer service is awful. If they do not want to give birthday points they should not promote it. I have decided to get my worms somewhere else. I might try again in January when my birthday points may be posted. Until then, I will buy my worms elsewhere else. To bad their customer service is so bad.
