I went to buy my first snake and the staff was helpful. On the way home it started having a seizure so I took it back to the store. The owner showed up, insulted me by blaming me "I raised this from a baby and nothing was wrong with it until you took it" said she would never sell me another snake and gave me a refund. I am now traumatized for free read more

Neglected Macaw's: I'd like to start off by saying, my partner and I are lucky enough to have a beautiful female Macaw as a member of our family. We drove up to this store from Atlanta to look at your reptile collection since you are so highly rated online. The moment we walked in we were hit with this pungent smell like there was rotted pumpkins somewhere in the store....it was foul. Our attention was immediately turned to the right were a Blue and Gold Macaw sat in this tiny cage pushed up against the glass of the front window of your store. The cage wasn't even big enough for this poor animal to spread its wings, his/her water was filthy, the pelleted food was sub-par quality, there was one unused toy in the cage, perches that were too small, and the animal is obviously underweight, and worse.....there was mounds of waste through out the cage. To top it off the smell in the cage was abhorrent and it was over powering even the horrid smell in the store. And this poor baby had pin feathers still on his/her head that looked like no one had ever bothered to help with (and molting season has been over for months) That's not even the worse part...there was this tiny hand written sign that he/she was "bitey" meaning what little engagement this poor animal had was probably always negative and it was best just to keep it in its cage. It shocked us even more when we hear another Macaw scream and look back in shock that you had another Macaw, a hybrid harlequin macaw behind your counter in equally horrible conditions. And worse this poor animals beautiful tail was shredded and both of them looked in such poor shape they looked like they were loosing their minds. We talked to a lady behind the counter and she said "Yeah, they are rescues" .... My partner and I had to leave, we couldn't take watching these poor, majestic, highly intelligent, emotionally complex birds living in such HORRIBLE conditions....and worse.....they were rescues and you placed them in such a despicable, negligent condition after being taken out of what was probably an already terrible situation being rescue birds. If you treat your reptiles like you treat those poor Macaw's....you should be put out of business and have what ever exotic pet license you had revoked. You need to give those poor birds to a home they deserve....they are slowly loosing their minds being in such deplorable conditions and you should frankly be ashamed. We will never patron your store again and recommend anyone looking to purchase from you to give serious pause before doing so. read more

My boyfriend and I recently got a juvenile bearded dragon and did our fair share of research, although we felt as though the internet's advice was not definitive enough. Naturally, we decided to go to this store in order to get some "expert" advice. While in there, we spoke with a couple people. One person on the floor barely had any answers for us and didn't seem to know what they were talking about at all. Finally, we go to the front to hopefully find someone with more knowledge. The person we spoke to did SEEM knowledgeable, yet the advice they provided completely set us up for failure with properly caring for our bearded dragon. Not to mention, they were on their phone the entire time they were speaking with us. We showed many pictures of our bearded dragon and explicitly disclosed that she was a juvenile. This didn't stop them from recommending that we get hornworms. We were a little skeptical since we knew how big hornworms are but they're the "experts" right?? Wrong. It was only days after feeding our beardie hornworms that we noticed she was at a severe risk of impaction. Our beardie had not pooped for a day. We immediately stopped the hornworm feedings. They also recommended giving her calcium every day (with no extra instructions on D3 vs w/o D3) which again we had to learn on our own that that was not correct. Our beardie began turning grey due to overconsumption of calcium. Needless to say, I would not recommend going to this store, whether to get advice or to shop. Clearly, if they can't give proper advice to new reptile owners, they do not have enough credentials to even be caring for these animals in the first place. It's upsetting because there are only a select couple of places in our area that sell dubia roaches, but we cannot continue to support this inexperienced and overpriced business. Save your money, time, and piece of mind and just find another reptile store to visit. read more

Every time I've needed feeder rats for my snake, they have them! Though it is a longer drive for me since I live 30-40 minutes away, I'd rather go through this business than any other. They have the experience, advice, and stock to allow you to truly be ready for owning a reptile. read more

Never been in this establishment where is didn't smell terrible. Animals were completely out of water, and feces everywhere. 2 birds loose in the store??? Had to go to Petco after for dog food and needless to say... ALL their animal enclosures were spotless with fresh clean water. No excuses for not having clean water. Ever. And people say bad stuff about petco... well it's way better than this "specialty store." read more

This is our go to place for all of our juvenile bearded dragon's needs. Much better then any of the big box pet stores. They took time to answer all of my questions. We've been here multiple times and have always had a great experience. read more

I bought an animal here a couple of months ago and he had parasites. I took him to the vet and he is likely not going to make it. I should have known when I visited and he was kept in a box with poop, uneaten bugs crawling everywhere, and no heating mat. Not well taken care of animals. So sad his life will have to be me force feeding him until he dies because someone was careless with him. Do not buy from here. read more

You think you like or love reptiles? Then you haven't met Cyndi! She's crazy about them and has lots of them at her store! Snakes? LOTS! Tortoises? Yup... Frogs and toads? Yep! Lizards, tarantulas, mice, rats, roaches!?! YEESSS! You really feel like family while there and learn or see something new all the time. Seriously, this is a awesome place to go and get supplies, find a new pet, and have a warm atmosphere to enjoy that's entirely reptilian. read more

Exotic reptiles in Gwinnett. All healthy creatures and cozy atmosphere, next to the mall of ga. They also have a booth at the local Repticon shows. Bought my daughter a pastel python a year ago, and she still loves and cares for it. I believe they also take unwanted pets, and find an adoptee. read more

Cyndi is very knowledgeable about everything she sells. She wants to make everyone comfortable with and fully informed about all of the animals, before they purchase them. read more

I would highly recommend STAYING AWAY from this place. The staff was rude, the enclosures were dirty, and the whole place stunk. I was highly disappointed, especially because I drove an hour to get there. Not worth your time. I feel bad for the reptiles and any other type of living thing that has to be there. read more

I traveled over an hour to get a Father's Day gift. I called for 2 hours straight before hand and received the "voicemail is full" message. They're hours said they were open until 7pm on Sunday, not to mention I just left the Petco in Duluth and a fellow customer told me they were open. So I literally drove around the corner not even 5 minutes away and there is a sign saying they are closed at 4pm for Father's Day. At this point it is 4:09pm, and there are at LEAST 4-5 other cars parked in front looking confused. The number even rang through and no one answered. This is exactly why mom and pop business don't thrive, because you decide to run the business however regardless of the inconvenience of your customers. If you are going to be a business at least have the decency to be professional, if you decide to be closed or leave early for a holiday then do so, but post on your website that hours will vary on holidays. This is unacceptable and unfair to your customers. I will never even think to come out again. Waste of my time and then had to travel back home empty handed. Get it together before y'all go out of business. read more

This is an excellent reptile store! They had exactly what I need and the staff are super helpful! The only complaint is the smell however it is a small pet store so ‍. read more

Please don't buy from this store. The reptiles are kept in deplorable conditions. Nasty habitats, dirty water with dead insects at the bottom, improper lighting and UVB, overcrowding of certain lizards in the same spaces. The entire place is gross. I was so upset I wouldn't even buy feeders from this store - which is what I just drove an hour from Roswell for. Terrible. read more

I love this place. The owner is so kind along with all of the employees. The animals all look healthy, and shes fine letting me see and handle a few. Good price on feeders too! Very knowledgable owner, and gave us a lot of advice! read more

I will never recommend anyone buying anything from reigning reptiles. They sell pets not knowing exactly what they are and they do not refund nor stand by their pets. They sold me a pet and assured me it is what I was asking for, yet it wasn't. Then agreed to pay a small refund yet never done so claiming it was my fault. Horrible business and horrible customer service!!!! I would give them no stars, unfortunately I was required to give at least one. read more
