This is a really cool reptile store with a great variety of unique and fascinating animals. We enjoyed looking around and seeing species you don't usually get to see in person. The reason for my lower rating is solely based on how the axolotls were housed. I'm not an axolotl expert, but I have read that they can temporarily be kept in small containers as long as the water is changed daily. However, how long are they kept in these containers? That said, seeing them in small containers on shelves near insect and lizard food felt sad and uncomfortable. It reminded me of how betta fish are often displayed in big pet chain stores. From what I've learned, axolotls do best in individual aquarium tanks with cycled, filtered water. I understand that retail space and logistics can make that challenging. An employee did mention they move them once their tail reaches the end of the container, but I'm sure that meant they move them to a bigger container. The water did look clean, so I'm hoping they're receiving frequent full water changes. I truly don't mean this as an attack -- it just made me sad. I came here with family while visiting from California, so not sure if selling them this way is common since they're illegal to own in CA. They're such unique and delicate creatures, and I wish their setup reflected that a bit more. I hope this feedback is taken constructively, because overall it really is a neat store!

Ziggy arrived alert and healthy with a gorgeous shell, and the best part? The customer service from these people! They are incredible and so willing to answer any questions/ help you with anything! I'll definitely be purchasing from them again, I researched for days looking for a reliable seller and these guys have went above and beyond! Highly recommend them and will recommend them to anyone who's in market to get a reptile! Thank you predators for being apart of this amazing journey! We look forward to buying from y'all again!

I cannot say enough good things about this place! I have yet to find another Reptile store that has the knowledge that Predators Reptile does. They truly care about the animals and I can count on them to give accurate care information. There is a ton of misinformation online regarding care for bearded dragons and everyone that I have talked to at Predators is highly knowledgeable and excited to share their vast knowledge. They have held my hand through the whole process with my 6 month old beardie. I highly recommend this place over any store. I live in North Scottsdale and have other shops closer, but I choose to make the drive to Mesa because this place is the simply put the best. Special shout out to Ben for being awesome and dealing with all my questions (there will be more to come).

My beautiful ball python from there!

Friendly knowledgeable and priced right. The frozen prices were a bit high and you must have a VIP card before they swipe your card.

Do you guys have any pied ball pythons if so how much?

Do they have different morphs of bearded dragons, I'm looking for an Ice one?

Do they sell hedgehogs?

I've seen them there before but I don't think all the time. I would call ahead

We were in the neighborhood and decided to stop in and show my 4 year old some cool reptiles…read more We learned it's under new ownership. Very friendly owner and staff. They showed some cool things to my son. I'm not completely versed in all the food options fhey had, as I wasn't shopping but from what they said the place was quite low on stop a few months ago in comparison to what they have currently. They have some awesome bearded dragons babies available. I don't recall all the morphs but do recall seeing leatherback. The huge snake and iguana did convey so those house pets are still there.

The most neglected and miscared for animals that I have ever seen. Cramped enclosures covered in…read morefeces. Many animals don't have water. There are bearded dragons with no heat lamp and UVB and are just sitting in darkness. They need heat to digest their food and UVB to prevent metabolic bone disease (which will kill them). Most of the animals have incomplete sheds that come off in flakes because of dehydration and the wrong humidity. A ball python is curled in its water dish because it's enclosure is as dry as a bone. This species needs 50-60% humidity to prevent respiratory infection and shed properly. Bredl's pythons are highly active and large arboreal snakes. The one here is curled up in a very small enclosure, not moving at all. It does not look healthy. Boa's need a humidity of 60-70% and a warm spot 88-95 F. The one here has an empty dry enclosure with no lights or visible underside heating. Also looks slow and lethargic. Heat is something all reptiles need as they are cold blooded. If it is not supplied they do not digest their food properly and can lead to respiratory infection (RI), gut rot, and incorrect sheds as cold snakes may stop moving, exploring, and drinking water. Please don't buy animals here, since each sale just gets replaced with another animal

So many lessons learned when you move 30 miles from where you used to live…read more... So on a whim... and because diesel is over $6 a gallon and Lily is part Great Pyrenees (IYKYK) we thought we'd run her down the street for what was quoted on the phone as a $50 bath, nails, and deshedding. Well... as if I didn't already hate myself for "cheating" on my long term ... sigh... they DOUBLED THE PRICE without any call or conversation. Now, when I called perhaps they could have found a reasonable explanation. But, what I got was, "prices go up" and "it's fine, don't bring her back if you don't like it". Well... lesson learned. The dog is traumatized and so am I. There will be no repeat visits from us... even for the self-wash area. Dammit.... I hate businesses that don't think they need repeat business!!!! NO to Barking Dogs Self-Wash & Grooming.... Unless you like surprises... of the not so good kind.... The one star is because you have to choose a minimum... 1 experience 1 star... Ha... nice try on your comment, and I don't see how to address that directly. She is MIXED with Pyrenees, yes. She is predominantly Aussie, and only about 50 lbs. My DAUGHTER dropped her off and picked her up, so nice try with your generational crap there buddy. And you just solidified the "no accountability " of businesses like you these days! If you stand by your $90, that's your business choice. If you quote one thing and charge another... that's sneaky and underhanded. Own it. Don't use my daughter's AGE as your defense!
