I had no idea what to expect when I came here. I had been to a 'Reptile Farm' before, decades ago…read morein Texas, which was pretty much like the reptile house in a zoo only much smaller and dirtier. But as "Everything is Bigger in Texas", of course the Texas farm had a big muddy Alligator pit. So who knew what the "Reptile Factory - High Desert" would offer up. And from the look of the outside, which was small and tucked away in a Mojave Desert strip mall, it didn't look like much. But I was SO WRONG. - 'Reptile Factory - High Desert', goes deep, and it's not a zoo or a reptile farm, it is a Specialty Pet Store. And the more looked around and spoke with the staff, the better this place became.

THEIR ANIMALS:
All animals are guaranteed to be healthy, mite-free, disease free, and feeding properly at the time of purchase. They claim to strive to provide top quality animals to our customers and would never sell an animal that does not meet their standards. Once the animal is out of their care, they cannot take responsibility for any issues arising from improper husbandry or fatalities/injuries for exposure to extreme temperatures. If an animal is purchased without a full setup provided by Reptile Factory they cannot guarantee the survival of the animal. No guarantee for arachnids, invertebrates, or amphibians. For any first time keepers when purchasing a new species, Reptile Factory always recommends a full set up at the time of purchase. A "full set up" refers to an appropriate enclosure and the following items: an enclosure, bedding, heating or lighting, food, decor, and any other products necessary. The purchase of a full set up from Reptile Factory guarantees the animal for (7) days. For any refund or animal exchange, the animal must be returned and proof of proper husbandry must be provided.
Any internal issues on imported animals are not included under any of their guarantees. They provide an outward health guarantee only on all imported animals. Please be aware of what you are purchasing and do the proper research. Their staff is very knowledgeable and happy to help with any questions you may have! They do not refund or exchange animals due to being skittish, scared, or defensive. All animals need time to adjust and build a trusting bond. They will gladly work with you to resolve any issue you may have. They are not responsible in any way for the action(s) of the animal(s) purchased through them. It is solely your responsibility if you or anyone gets bit, scratched, physically debilitated, or any other injury inflicted by the animal(s). Always exercise caution with all animals.
Venomous Animals
All venomous animals including but not limited to: Heloderma species, scorpions, arachnids, and any rear-fanged species, can only be purchased by persons eighteen (18) years of age or older with proper identification at the time of purchase.
Reptile Factory, LLC. And its employees reserve the right to refuse an animal sale to anybody if we feel it is not in the animals best interest.
My two hours at 'Reptile Factory' were great, but I wondered, who would buy all of the animals and enclosures to bring home except for scientists, collectors, and young kids who like to feed mice to snakes. But they told me here that many of their customers use these see-thru tanks, filled with beautiful object, colors, and exotic animals, as a point of design and beauty in their homes. I was directed to a site where I could see photos. And I'll tell you, those pictures blew me away. I've posted some of these photos (courtesy of photographers) of the Personal Computer Stations & Gaming Rooms at the home of some customers who bought everything they needed in order to transform these spaces into jungle-like (or desert-like) environments filled with living creatures. And they got all of their display cases, terrarium installations, supplies, and animals at "Reptile Factory". I thought these rooms looked so amazing that I began to dream about doing this in my own home, even if it meant having a house full of Lizards, Turtles, and Snakes. Very Cool Suff.
