My go to place for fruit flies!! They have hornworms, super worms, fruit flies, and crickets!! I always love to go here and look around, my favorite friend to see is betty (black monitor). I did recently call to check up for fruit flies, and Kayra (so sorry if I misspelled, but she has cool earrings!) was very helpful and gave me recommendations for my i4 jumping spiders :) read more

The customer service was disappointing, just like the selection. There were no greetings or acknowledgment just uncomfortable stares that made us feel unwelcome, as if it were unusual to see Black customers in a reptile store. Petsmart was much more welcoming, and thankfully, we were able to get our snake there and more. Hopefully, next time, the staff can be more professional, welcoming, and respectful toward ALL customers!!!!!! Especially when you don't know who's walking in. read more

One of my favorite activities is visiting the local reptile store any time that I'm in an area that I'm not usually in, especially if there's some extra time to hang out. It's a neat way to see what supplies and feeders that they have and see what little buddies they have in store. Okay, if you own reptiles, you're probably accustomed to the smell, but got a huge whiff of fishy smell (sometimes happens with Dubia roaches or other feeder worms, iykyk), but I got used to it in a bit. Might be since we were visiting right after feeding time. There's no overcrowding and they're pretty well-stocked. Good number of snakes here if that's you're thing (I'm more of a lizard person), and the have live feeder mice too, if you're so inclined, and as a lot of their clientele were too during our visit. There's some inverts here too, tarantulas, hissing roaches, death feigning beetles, etc. Staff are friendly and helpful as they welcomed us in and answered lots of customer questions. There's the usual you see here like bearded dragons and leopard geckos, but they have a couple African Fat Tailed geckos (love these cuties) and Uromastyx, including an impressively large Egyptian one, a real treat if you've only seen the smaller ornate ones. Some monitor lizards and young blue tongue skinks (one day you'll be mine), and some tortoises too. Love that the sale of iguanas can only be done after they're given proof of proper enclosures. We love to see responsible pet ownership. Lots of supplies in stock too like water and food dishes and bowls, lighting fixtures, supplements, decor, hides and climbs, gecko powder food, and much more. It's a staple of the community, and the fan art from the local children are a clear indicator of that. read more

So thankful to reptile island for their knowledgeable, friendly, amazing staff! We purchased our first blood leopard gecko (Amber) and came home with EVERYTHING we needed. They gave us thorough instructions for her care and so clearly love their reptiles! We had originally called them about a different pet predicament and they proved to be true lifesavers! We are so thankful!!!! read more

Bought my kids a bearded dragon and had heard from a friend that this was the place to stop and buy crickets .... We stopped here and fell in love with all the reptiles and all things reptilian friendly! The awesome gentlemen at the counter who were very knowledgeable... Sébastien, Jake, and John.

I've gotten all my reptiles here! Staff is amazing and they take the time to inform you and answer any questions you might have. All of the reptiles that I have gotten have super timid, sweet personalities, and they are very healthy. read more

It's always nice to go into this store. Friendly people, patient consultation and good products. I am setting up a paludarium and they did a whole bunch of research to help me find the perfect frog for it. I got the enclosure, spiderwood, substrate and a filter for this build. Other materials were sourced elsewhere. We have a mystery snail, cherry shrimp, a pleco, a crab, guppies, minnows and a Cory catfish for the water feature. Based on the store's recommendation, we are planning to add a Vietnamese Mossy Frog for the arborial section. read more

What a great hidden Gem Came in here to check it out and "not being a reptile owner " and wasn't disappointed at all. The variety of all the reptiles they have blew my mind from exotic to tropical from tegus to poison dart frogs and not to mention the great customer service.. lets just say my wife and I are now proud parents to a beautiful crested gecko! Sebastian helped us through everything to the living conditions of the different geckos they had and choosing the right species that fits our needs and interests. Nothing short of an amazing experience Plus they do health checks and the whole staff is so knowledgeable,friendly and helpful. 10/10 recommend. They have everything you need . Truly a one stop shop. Heres a pic of our ziggy! Thanks to the whole crew! See you all again soon. read more

Can't complain! They have everything I need to keep my reptile as happy as I can make her. Located in Rancho Cucamonga, it's fairly close to the freeway, which makes it pretty easy to get to. However, it gets very busy in this area, especially on weekends. I've also been here on a weekday right when they open, and they have customers in line when I walk in. Probably around the same size as the Yorba Linda location, organization is a little bit different but still fairly organized. It's open enough where you can walk around decently, but it can get a little crowded if there's a ton of people. Regular mealworms, giant mealworms, redworms, rats, etc. They've got the grub! Also grabbed substrate and various accessories various times without issue. On the occasions that they are out of stock of something, they tend to have an idea on when it'll be back in stock. It does smell a bit in the store most of the time, though... Service has been great! Helpful every single time! read more

Had a 10/10 experience at Reptile Island! The service was amazing--the staff member checked in with me multiple times to see if I needed help and even gave thoughtful advice on which pet would be best for kids.

Came in with the wife and my daughter to purchase a whole gecko set up. Unfortunately these people weren't interested at all in helping us. We walked around the store and they refuse to even look at us. Very disappointing to say the least. I will not recommend this place if you are looking for any type of help or cheap prices apparently. I went somewhere else down the street. You should too read more

The employees suggest colored bulbs, red specifically these should not be recommended at all for reptiles. Please avoid them they disrupt sleep cycles and reptiles could not see with those lights. Please do not have candles lit near them either it's extremely dangerous for their respiratory system, you could be buying a pet from here that's getting sick from the strong candles burning in there. read more

Cages are too small for the animals inside them and all dirty with stained glass. Lighting seems to need improvement seeing as the Geckos are limp and clearly stressed / unhealthy. Bone structure messed up and low energy not moving at all. Overall the entire place is showing lazy animal husbandry and poor quality animals. Unfortunate, because it was a decent shop many years ago when it first opened. read more

We purchased our first bearded dragon yesterday from this business. We spent weeks looking for the right bearded for our family. A few minutes after walking in, we were greeted by Josh, and he was SO knowledgeable and SO helpful!! We're so thankful we made the 2 hour drive to this store. We felt so comfortable buying a pet from him. His prices on supplies were great too! Highly recommend this store. read more

Best reptile store nearby. I always come here to get Crickets, pinkies, roaches, and worms for my adult bearded dragon. Good customer service and they take care of the animals. read more

Employees can be better at customer service, mostly the females. Usually there is one there often and it seems like it bugs her to get what the customer needs. read more

Went to try for feeder mice as it's close to hubbies gym. Overall, staff wasn't very friendly and animals didn't look well kept - partial sheds, overly dirty enclosures. Won't be going back. read more

Very good selection and really nice employees! Their animals are well cared for and the employees really seem to know what they are doing.

We have been shopping at Reptile Island for a few years now, and I would not consider any other reptile store for many reasons. Originally (almost 2 years ago) we bought our juvenile Bearded Dragon from Reptile Island and more recently, a Ball Python. All their staff are passionate about reptiles and anything related to. They are always very friendly and helpful, even when they are asked a lot of questions about proper care on what reptiles we have personally, or are looking into buying in the future. Never bothered by any questions, it's the opposite in fact. They are all very knowledgeable too. I am the type that likes to be prepared and do a little research before buying anything. Whether browsing, or buying something specific, they are always well-stocked with whatever is needed. The best customer service. As we walk in the door, we are immediately greeted and their assistance is offered. The store is clean and well-maintained. All their reptiles are also very well cared for. I can tell based off the enclosures. We will be adding more reptiles in the future, and only from Reptile Island. The reason I drive the distance to shop there, even just for basic essentials, definitely speaks for itself. read more

Got my daughter a leopard gecko (Leafy) about 2 years ago. Not from here but from a private seller. This was our first reptile so when she stopped eating I had no idea why. I called several vets and no one had availability. Finally I went to Reptile Island to ask if they had any advice or could refer me to someone. They were SO helpful. They explained a few things it could be and said I could bring her in for them to look at. I did and they said she looks overall healthy and may need more calcium or heat. They also said her shed was stuck and put her in some water to help peel it off. We are trying a different heat now to see if it helps. We will also get some liquid calcium just in case. They also gave me a lot of advice and helpful information. Everyone here was so very nice and knowledgeable. I talked to Felix, Kat, and one other guy (so sorry I forgot your name!). They all seem to care a lot about every animal and customer. I highly recommend this place for all your reptile needs. We buy our food here too and it's always been better quality than Petsmart. We only go there if they run out of the worms we buy. Kat was especially helpful when asking about the bearded dragons. We don't have room for one now but when we do we will be back to get one. Thank you all ! read more

Super caring employees, many pets to choose from and all look healthy and always have food, water and clean cages, tons of supplies and food for various reptiles. You can call or message them on Instagram for any questions or concerns and they even take surrenders from time to time. No aquatic animals though. read more

Staff was very kind and helpful and knowledgeable this location was out of our area but had to be out in Rancho for other reasons but close enough that it really wasn't out of our I really appreciate that reptile island location staff totally awesome staff ( we are really close to the Yorba Linda location) also love the friendly pups that hang around the stores, anyways if you are looking for unique reptiles they have some of the most beautiful and amazing color patterns especially the snakes I really wish I could've taken the Applegate Gopher snake home. Just don't have enough room for another critter right now. read more

Josh is fantastic and will take great care of you! I bought my Beardie from him. Healthy animals and outsiders customer service.

One of the employees lets their dogs free roam around the store. It constantly is trying to smell my wife's genitals and gets especially aggressive if we go in the store during my wife's time of the month. The dog is large and somewhat intimidating, so she doesn't want to push it away for fear of getting bitten. Also for what it's worth, some people are allergic and/or are very fearful of dogs. We get into the reptile hobby as a replacement pet that is hypoallergenic and/or not triggering to past trauma. Please stop allowing this employee to bring her dog into the store. Until that happens, I will keep my shopping here to a minimum (only when I can't find what I need at other reptile stores). read more

This place is amazing. I'm new to the reptile world, but I learned a lot from the staff. Very knowledgeable and it's very clean.

Great customer service and support. Very knowledgeable employees. After purchasing if I had any questions they were happy to help.

I had visited this reptile store many times since it is close to my office. It is a young guy working at that time usually. He always has the bothered attitude. No smile at all. Delay response and I can tell he doesn't want to talk to me at all. One time I tired to order rats for my python, he told me it was currently out of stock and will be available the next day. I went back the next day and it was still out of stock. The next day I called and was told it was available; however, it was out of stock again when I asked in person in the store. read more

Don't ever buy dubis from this place. You pay $13 for 100 dubis and they literally give u less than 50. This is like my fourth time they did this and it pisses me the fuck off, they literally count them and when they do they count wrong it's like they can't count or something. Go to strictly reptiles in riverside by Tyler, they are generous as when giving Dubis and u get what you pay for. I'm never coming here again. They will give u extra when buying dubis but not at this place! read more

I rarely go on yelp if I do its probably due subpar customer service. Ive gone several times now the employees just talk to each other and make you wait like your not waiting for them. They'll see you infront of the counter and still continue to talk to each other. Id rather drive further to the competitor Amazon Reptile to get WAY BETTER Service. (Not even comparable.) read more

I've been going to this store for about 12 years, and the Yorba Linda store, prior that, for about 6 years. If they ever close, I'll be lost. Their animals, products, and feeders are amazing. The quality of the staff, their amazing knowledge, and the willingness to help is exceptional. This IS my only go-to for my reptile needs. read more
