On both occasion we were able able to see, hold and learn about at least a half dozen different ball Pythons and Boas; many of which I had never heard or or seen before.

We spent a couple of hours perusing through the exhibits on a Sunday. There is a lot to look at and…read moreif you're a kid, or a reptile enthusiast, there is a lot to get excited over. You have an assortment of diff reptiles, from monitors, to snakes, to iguanas, to geckos, etc. that you can choose to observe, pet, hold, or even buy. If you decide to buy anything, you also have all the items available to set up a tank for the first time or just stock up on some supplies if you already have an existing set up. The prices here were very competitive, there were exhibit deals happening all around. If you do want to hold a snake, or even take a picture with it, it will cost you at least $5 a round, so that was a bit costly.

What a fun event... even for a bunny lover like me, knowing that reptiles are probably my rabbits'…read moreworst enemy... the snakes would eat them, and the tortoise would outsmart them in a race, lol. Reptile Realms (aka the San Jose Reptile Show), for the last two years has been unable to hold the event at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds (as they did annually pre-covid). So they expanded to holding the expo at the San Mateo County Event Center for 2022. Basically there are LOTS of reptile displays, with most of the creatures for sale, and all of them for show. We found mostly snakes, all kinds of sizes, some with very unique patterns, vendors willing to share plenty of knowledge and info about the species, and even some snakes visitors could hold (for free). Besides snakes, there were roaches, crickets, tarantulas, shaved mice, lizards, geckos, chameleons, bearded dragons, tortoises, and some species I can't even name. I realize not all were reptiles, but there was also reptile "food" for sale, and other creatures. And you could get up close and personal with these animals, it was so cool. They also sold clever animal T-shirts and hats, toys (lots of snake themed, but also random stuff like unicorn horns), habitats, plants, and food (for reptiles and for humans). The event took place mainly in a giant hall, so it felt spacious even with the crowds. There were no lines and no wait to enter. And there was plenty of parking (with a $15 fee which was more expensive than the admissions ticket). Some of the reptiles are just sooo cute, especially those baby tortoises, this is a great place to find a new pet. But not for me... my bunnies wouldn't like that.

I can't say enough good things about Marisol at the Aquarium & Reptile Depot. She was incredibly…read moreloving, caring, and understanding during a really emotional situation for me. My roommate left his Cory fish behind, and he seemed so lonely. I just wanted to make sure he found a good home with friends. I was honestly a crying mess, but Marisol was so comforting and reassuring. She took the time to explain everything and made me feel confident that my Cory fish would be happy here with other fish and he truly was. Seeing him settle in and look so happy meant everything to me. I also really appreciate that they allow you to surrender fish here. If you're ever in a situation where you can't afford to care for a fish anymore, or for any reason you're unable to keep him, you can bring him here knowing he'll be cared for properly and placed with other fish. Marisol's compassion and genuine love for animals (and people) truly stood out. You can tell she has such a big heart and really cares about what she does. I'm so grateful for her kindness during a tough moment. Also the facility was so clean! All the fish looked so happy! Such a great environment!! Thank you all!!!

Freddie handled the booking over the phone, no reservation needed at $10 a day. Check-in took five minutes; they set her up in a great, spacious tank with a lamp and fresh bark, and we left her with a packed lunch of greens and Mazuri from home. When we picked her up, Brandon and Ryan gave us the daily report. Turns out, Smalls spent her vacation roaming the store and occasionally trying to bust out through the back door. Luckily, the staff has excellent reflexes and stopped her escape attempts. Smalls was well-loved, well-fed, and safely contained. 10/10 would board our tiny criminal here again. Thank you, Reptile Room!

It was a friendly crowd, and we got to hold some of these fascinating reptiles after signing a waiver and making a donation or paying a small fee. We also supported some of the reptile rescue organizations by buying merchandise, plus shopped for gifts at the vendor booths. Entry tickets were $15 each. Parking was also $15 (though we had the missus drop us and pick us up). There was food available - we shared super nachos ($15 again!), which were filling and delicious. Bathrooms were well maintained, and there was hand sanitizer everywhere! Will be back next year!

Overall, in terms of competition with other big box pet stores, which I usually don't support when…read moreit comes to aquarium pets, this location is by far the best. You can obviously tell that they have a dedicated staff to the aquatic section that actually care about what they're doing and go out of their way to keep everything clean, neat, organized, and for the most part the stock is healthy and there's a great variety. The store gets a high rating when it's compared to other big box companies that are similar to it, but my only grievance and the reason why it didn't get five stars is because they have an in-store policy where they try to tell you that they can't sell any pets or aquatics one hour prior to closing. As somebody who used to work in these kinds of stores, I understand that closing is sometimes hectic when still having to tend to customers and anyone would love to be able to get their closing routines done by closing, but that's not how business works. In a perfect world as a prior employee that would've been awesome to be able to clock out once the doors close but once the store closes, that is when the closing routine and taking care of all the animals for the night is supposed to begin. During operating hours, sales should never stop. So although it can be extremely annoying when customers show up late or close to closing, sometimes that's all people can do depending on their work shift and they're trying to make it to the store before it closes. An average person might think, just come the next day when they're open, but when it comes to first come first serve on certain fish that are already hard to find, you want to be able to get what you can find as soon as possible before someone else comes before you. A pretty long grievance, yes, but I like to be thorough lol

Also the woman with all the tattoos that are all over her neck is very rude. She was yelling at her co worker to stop selling merchandise. She also was very rude when asking about adopting one of their available cats. Since the whole store was out of wack & staff was rude we did not purchase anything. This location needs new employees & someone to organize this store. I'm sure this affects sales.
