Good folk...help me maintain my 30 year old water turtle and her habitat. More later

I tried to call to see if they have White's tree frogs, and the lady said not currently but she has been wanting to get them in stock for a while. So i thought oh ok that's fine, so i asked "Do you think you will have them by April?" She changed to a rude tone and started being really rude and mad at me, i understand if she wasn't happy but she didn't have to be snotty to me, it was just a simple yes, no, or I'm not sure kind, of question, I'm going to try again closer to April, and i hope i get a kinder reaction read more

The store itself is stocked with high quality products & has a wide variety of reptiles to choose from. The owners & employees are very knowledgeable about the care & upkeep on their animals and will take the time to provide you with any answers they can. Prices are super reasonable. Couldn't be more thrilled with my ball python, & will definitely be purchasing another from them in the future. I recommend this place highly & am super happy to have them as an asset to the local reptile community. read more

Kalen B. This is Ryan you spoke to me once then our other employee you confused with me. I don't know what you are talking about I was showing you ball pythons not boas which we don't have. Also the prices of the ball pythons always vary from $60 and up. And we do have some $60 ball pythons left maybe not as many but there price never changed. The other morphs do go up in price depending on what they are. And if we don't believe you have adequate setup then we won't sell you the snake. From what I heard is you had a broken fixture and wanted to get a hardware store bulb to put in it for heat. Thats not what we would recommend. So I'm happy that you didn't leave with a snake if you didn't have the proper setup. read more

This is the most amazing place and we recommend them to everyone we know. They care and are very knowledgeable and professional. The caring team is awesome to work with. We got our snake from them just over two years ago and it's been a wonderful experience. They also have parties with teaching about animals they have in a special reptile room and our son loved having his birthday celebration here. Thank you Redding Reptiles! We appreciate you so much! Keep up the great work! The have reptile boarding available for when we travel too! read more

Our daughters fell in love with a ball python from petco so we decided they could get one for Christmas. On black Friday redding reptiles had a sale on ball pythons and had full starter cage setups available that they put together theirselves with everything you need for a ball python! Their sale also allowed free boarding until Christmas Eve which we were very excited about!!! We picked a young snake that was a little snippy so we decided to take her home and hide her to socialize her while the girls are in school. We have been going back weekly for feeders and are extremely happy with our purchase and the health the snakes are in. Our girl is much friendlier now and will be a perfect pet once the girls get her and her full new cage setup on Christmas! read more

Redding Reptiles - Ball python from redding reptiles. - Reptile Shops Near Me - Redding, California

Best reptile place in town. Owners are friendly and helpful. They won't try to sell you anything you don't need. Ignore the few rude reviews. We have never had a bad experience. read more

Although this place is nice, they can never keep the incense smell under control. Yes, you are a reptile store, let it smell like reptiles like any other store. The smell is so bad you can't even breathe. Lastly, the owner is quite rude and the a lot of their supply/feeders are over priced. read more

I went to Redding Reptiles 3 times. The first 2 times I talked with Ryan who was friendly and very knowledgeable. I had been wanting to get another snake after my snake Theo died 5 years ago. I bought a terrarium that was 4x2 which Sandra, the owner said was too big for a baby snake. She tried to sell me a $300 to $400 tank. I got a small terrarium and then went back to get the bedding. Sandra tried to sell me a huge bag for $37 plus and kept harping about my heat lamp which was not safe so I returned it. I was getting depressed so I walked back to look at the snakes but noticed the price increased. So it was all about money. I went to Petco, which Sandra always talks negative about. Dispite sends them a lot of business. I ended up buying a beautiful male Ball Python for $99 and I got bedding for $6 plus. Coconut bricks that expand when you add water. I got 3 brick for $6. Please don't be turned off by Sandra's negative comments or her trying to price gouge you. Sandra is very negative and I almost didn't get my new snake "Bodhi" read more

Our son was interested in purchasing a Ball Python and startup kit. We visited this store hoping to buy it for him. Owner was aggressive, confrontational and rude with very limited knowledge of the appropriate management of reptiles. This was not a real reptile store. Limited inventory, filthy environment and terrible customer service. Would highly discourage anyone from visiting this store. read more

Loved the shop! Visiting from the Bay Area and had to stop by. The owner greeted us as soon as we walked in and spoke with us the whole time. She was super friendly and the shop is very cute. Picked up a bearded dragon hammock that the owner made herself. They have a variety of colors and they are made with all natural materials. (Also on etsy) read more

I came in the other day after newly adopting what I was told was a boa . They were so kind and helpful correcting the the care info I was given and after assuring me that Bell the boa was indeed a ball python lol. I will be back next week to get dinner for bell the python and to learn more. Thank you! read more

The owner is so rude!! One hundred percent made me not want to buy anything from her shop... she belittles people and makes them feel incompetent.. I ended up getting a bearded dragon at Petco and had a much better experience there!! read more

A good local reptile shop for specialty items, however the store is small and so their supplies are pretty limited. They will do a special order for you if you ask though, and of course they're FAR more knowledgeable than the rest of the local pet stores if you've got reptile questions. The animals look healthy and they've got a good selection of baby ball python morphs, usually a couple tortoises, a couple tegus and beardies, some pretty kings, etc. They offer live feeder rodents and they'll cull for you if you don't feed live. read more

Bought a rat that was just a tad too big for my snake, even though the clerk assured it was in comparison to the last and he would eat it. Brought it back a couple days later wanted to swap or get a partial credit. Apparently they do not do that. They took the rat and said they would feed it to one of their snakes though, even one they would eventually sell. They also do not inform you of this 24 hr policy, even when I sat there and questioned the size and if my snake would eat it. They are also really overpriced, even in comparison to pet co or pet smart. You can drive down to Chico to a much larger reptile store, with a larger selection and save quite a bit of money. Even on the littlest stuff like bedding or a tank. read more

I went to redding reptile today and met the lady who owns the place and she was so helpful and knowlegable about animals and had a great selection in the store of animals and supplies. The animals in her store were also in great health and you could tell were well cared for. I also like her bearded dragon hammocks which i currently own two of my own that she makes by hand. They are beautifully crafted and sturdy. I will for sure be a return customer for all my future reptile needs and mealworm, superworm and cricket purchases. read more

Redding Reptiles - Plant i bought today, love it so does honey the dragon - Reptile Shops Near Me - Redding, California

I sat here reading the other reviews and was sad to say that my families experience wasn't the same. The owner was rude and demeaning with the questions we asked. My daughter has had reptiles all her life and has done countless hours of research in all aspects of raising reptiles properly. She has also raised many different reptiles successfully, and has a passion for them. This place made her feel like she didn't deserve to be in their almighty presence. We won't be spending our money here like we had planned to. Instead, we will go somewhere with people that have a passion for this industry and not just in it for the money. I'd rather spend more money elsewhere than deal with this place again. read more

Best pet store in town if you like reptiles. They are very knowledgeable and friendly and seem to want what is best for the customer and not their wallet. They won't try to sell you the most expensive thing if you don't need it... unlike the other places. The pets here are clean and well cared for. I can't wait too see what they do next! Very highly recommended. read more

This last week we discovered that the gecko Colby (our middle son) had just got was very sick. After My fiancé had been to Redding Reptiles earlier in the day to get some moss and other stuff, he suggested that I call them and explain the geckos symptoms. Colby has only had this gecko for a little over a week, and we weren't sure who could help figure out what was wrong. Thankfully we turned to Redding Reptiles, and they were absolutely amazing! They helped Colby give his gecko a peaceful passing, as hard as it was for him. While we were at Redding Reptiles the owner was able to see that Colby was visibly upset, and let him know when he's ready he can come back when he's ready and get a brand new leopard gecko of his choosing. He immediately wanted to look at them all! They had such a unique collection of leopard geckos, and Colby was able to pick out the cutest giant Mack Snow leopard gecko! read more

I had my sons birthday party yesterday and Redding reptiles came to the location and had a show!! It was very education and the kids got to hold them as well. The owners were so nice and patient with the kids and it wasn't expensive what so ever!! They also gave my son a redding reptile shirt to be part of the team. He loved the show! Thank you so much! read more

Amazing shop! Local business with a beautiful array of different reptiles and apmhibians. They are very knowledgeable, honest, clean, professional, & respectful. I am somewhat a beginner to reptile ownership bit felt very comfortable and confident in my abilities to take care of my recently purchased female Red Tail Boa. They are very affordable too! I strongly recommend this shop to anybody looking for a new exotic pet and I will defiantly be going back for more! read more

Great Store! Lots of fun creatures to look at or buy. My kids and I go 2 or 3 times a month and love looking around at the snakes, scorpions, tarantulas, hissing cockroaches, anacondas, and many other cool animals. Plus it's the only place in Redding to get live feeder rodents. read more

I have shopped at Redding Reptiles for many years. They are professional and knowledgeable about the animals in their store. They are always available for advice and teaching moments in regards to my reptiles. Sandra and Ryan truly care about the well being of the animals headed to their new homes. Great local business. read more

I'm potentially getting a large ball python from a friend so I figured I would stop by to ask questions. Let's just say this is the most impressive reptile store I've been in. First off, I was expecting that stale dry reptile smell when you go to most reptile sections in stores. The doors only greeted me with a very well maintained and professional store. I instantly got good vibes and could tell the people here give a damn about their product. The employee was very helpful and answered all my questions despite the cold in me wanting to run around like I just showed up to a zoo. The selection of animals here was outright astounding. Anacondas and many selections of snakes, lizards I've only seen in my wildest acid trips, a gorgeous goliath bird eater tarantula, and an assortment of bearded dragon's! You wouldn't even know they had feeder mice because the clean smell. Last but not least, they had a pack of larger tegu lizards running around the store. They were just chilling and enjoying their freedom. They also had a full grown Savannah monitor. I was in awe. Needless to say if I don't get this snake from my friend I won't feel bad because I'll be getting one here. read more

Don't like the idea of damaging a small or local business but the staff was beyond rude. Will not be receiving any more service from me.

I've been coming in and out of this shop for months now with my eye on a specific snake. Every time I leave with more knowledge of raising and handling reptiles than before. The mother and son owner and a few of the sons friends are the most helpful people I've ever talked to when it comes to exotic pets. Not to mention Bowser the tortoise walking around munchin on a celery stick. My kids love this place as much as I do! I wish I could give more than 5 stars here. read more

Ignore the 1 star review. The mom and son were knowledgeable about caring every type of animal, which one fits me the best, had a turtle walking around the store, and two giant lizards. And yes they were friendly. I wish there was more places like this with a exotic selection. If I buy a reptile it's going to be from here. read more

This place is really nice to visit. Good customer service and quality reptiles. Purchased my crested gecko here and it's in great shape (:

I LOVE Redding Reptiles! My husband and I went here to buy our first ever reptile, a little bearded dragon. Sandra showed us what she had available, and answered every question we could think up. Once we had our little guy picked out, she helped us go home with everything we needed to keep him happy and healthy. We have been back a few times since to get crickets and it's always an enjoyable experience. Sandra, her son's, and even some regular customers are all very welcoming and friendly. This is now the only place we'll ever go for anything reptile related. I loved it so much, I even FINALLY made a yelp account to give it 5 stars, would give it more if I could. read more

I WILL never go to another pet store for ANYTHING that has to do with reptiles. I get the best customer service ever. The feeders are healthy for my snakes. Feeders for my lizards are healthy. Thank God they are here. They meet every and all my needs. Never rude or short with me always have time to answer all my questions! read more

Was not happy. I buy a few white mice every couple of months. I usually go to Pet Co. I was in the area of Redding Reptiles and dropped by to check out their prices. They are less expensive, and the owner asked for me to shop with them being a local family owned business. It is a couple miles out of my way, but decided to buy there. Had 2 white mice they put in a thin paper bad. When I got home (just a 10 minute drive). There was a hole in the bag and only 1 mouse. The other chew out and was gone. I called them asking what they could do for me. I asked for a discount to replace the mouse that got away. They told me they do not do that, and said I could bring in my own container. For just a couple bucks they lost my business and I will not shop there again. read more

Went in to roam around and Sandra (the owner) helped my husband and I out. She was so helpful and patient. We probably asked her a million bearded dragon questions and she knew all the answers. She really loves animals and wants the best for them! If I could give Redding Reptiles a thousand stars I would! Thank you Sandra! read more

Not sure whether they're very short with or very rude with people who know how to take care of there animals and don't need help with information. But I've experienced them talking down about another person who was making small talk about how they've taken care of mites in the past because the owner thought they were making her feel stupid... I also entered one of their fundraiser raffles, and they closed the raffle. I never saw the $2 I used to enter, which wasn't a big deal but it's the moral of it. I could go on about my bad experience, but I will leave it there. People have been treated good there, but I don't know what I did, but they decided they didn't like me to much and I used to buy from there all the time. They however, do have cheaper name brand supplies. read more
