Always helpful! Only place I'll get my stuff from. Every time I've come in, they've always treated me well. Super informative and awesome sauce read more

We became regular visitors of Reptile Island after getting our bearded dragon, and this place quickly became our favorite reptile store. We live nearby in Anaheim, and compared to all the other reptile shops around us, this one stands out the most. They have one of the largest selections of reptiles, habitats, aquariums, accessories, and a wide variety of food options. The staff is always very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. They truly know what they are doing and are always happy to answer questions and help. Every time we come in to buy food, I end up spending at least 15 extra minutes just looking at all the new lizards, chameleons, snakes, and other reptiles. It's not just a store -- it feels like a little reptile zoo (with turtles too! ). Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves reptiles or is looking for quality supplies and great service! read more

What a fantastic and unexpected experience at Reptile Island! My 11-year-old son had a million questions, and Mario was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited to share information about the reptiles. It was clear that he loves what he does, and his enthusiasm made the visit even more enjoyable. We were amazed by the variety of rare reptiles on display--many of which I had never seen before. Mario was attentive throughout our visit and made sure we felt welcome and engaged. Although we didn't purchase anything this time, the experience left a great impression on us. When we're ready to add a reptile to our family, Reptile Island will definitely be our first stop. Highly recommended! read more

Great place to get isopods and millipedes. Great prices too !! And the staff are so kind and sweet and answered all my questions!!! Will be coming again. The person that I spoke to made my day yesterday after a headache of another store. read more

I've been coming here for years and I jst have to say how helpful and awesome it is here. I always come for feeders and some of my babies are from here. I drive from Long Beach but SO worth it! read more

The store has so many unique pets. The staff are very nice and helpful. We always stop by to restock supplies for our turtles and lizards. The prices here are very reasonable. They have many pet toys and accessories as well. Just heads up that if you are not used to pet smells, you might get overwhelmed after 10-15 minutes. If you get busy looking around, you will forget the smell very fast :) read more

The guys here at reptile island are amazing! I surrendered my red eared slider to them because I'm expecting a baby soon BUT literally the next day I decided I needed her back she's my baby and I just felt very upset seeing her empty tank so I went back and the guys were so empathetic and helped me locate her in the pond EVEN AFTER HER PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK FOR QUITE A WHILE. They helped me look at each turtle until I found my girl again and I am forever grateful! I also got my bearded dragon from them about a year ago and he is the most wonderful reptile read more

Friendly staff, my son has a snake and they help him with all needs. When he wants to learn more the staff here walks him through everything

You can tell this is an older establishment, but they have been serving the community since 1994 and I can't help but to give them props for encouraging RESPONSIBLE REPTILE OWNERSHIP. THEY WILL NOT SELL YOU TURTLES UNLESS SHOWN PROOF OF A PROPER SET UP. I know there are so many places out there that will do anything to make a quick buck, but in having this policy, you can see that they truly do care about the welfare of the animals and their futures. Huge props for that and I was happy to see it. They also had pre-built bioactive enclosures in varying sizes too and some reptiles I don't usually see at shops, such as their Chinese Water Dragon up close (not for sale though, shop pet) and HUGE Leachianus geckos (the shop's breeders). A nice variety of geckos too and they have spiders and feeders. You can also feed their aquatic turtles for $2 and take a look at their tortoise in shop. I'm happy it's not just a shop of only beardies and leopard geckos (though I love them too). Fun short stop to take a look at some cold blooded cuties. read more

Came in with my two, very excited young kids to see some animals. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially Mario. He was exceptionally patient and knowledgeable, answering the barrage of questions thrown at him for the duration of our visit. We will be back to feed the turtles again and hopefully bring home a new pet someday! Thank you Mario! read more

Staff is always super friendly and helpful. We love our weekly visits for live feed for our ball python!

These guys are the best of the best!! Such amazing customer service as they go so far out of their way to be helpful kind and accommodating!! They have great inventory, good prices, I love all the staff and the store!! read more

Reptile Island is AMAZING! There is a wide selection of reptiles & supplies and it's very well organized. Mario was very helpful when we purchased a tortoise today! He was so knowledgeable, kind, and made the process so easy. Would definitely recommend you come here for a helpful staff and great selection! :) read more

Terrible animal keepers. I tried to tell an employee that they weren't keeping their poison dart frogs correctly, his response was "that's a comment for my manager". PDF basic needs are not being met and I'm sure it is the same with other animals at their store. Horrible. They've lost any potential business from me. If I could give a negative star review I would. read more

Excellent prices. Excellent service, and excellent pet selection. I highly recommend this pet store.

I told my partner I would take her to the zoo. I showed her the lizard safari, the turtle lagoon, and the maggot pond. All jokes aside, good place to get feeder mice and reptile supplies. Nice people . Good collection of snakes and lizards here. read more

I'm not from the area but whenever I'm near OC I always make a quick stop to make purchases for my snakes and Tarantulas. They have reasonable prices and a large variety of reptile decor, reptiles, feeders, and critters. The staff are always amazing! Very friendly and kind. I bought a baby black brazilian tarantula from them about a year ago and it has grown so much! read more

Reptile Island - Black Brazilian Tarantula - Pet Stores Near Me - Stanton, California

They had a lot of animals with a wide range of prices. We did get an adorable leopard gecko. My only concern is one gecko had zero water. They all had a good amount of food in each cage but the worms are left long enough to turn into black bugs. I'm sure they know how to care for their animals better than I do though. I would go back for their great selection. read more

absolutely loved this place! will never go to petco or petsmart again! One stop shop that delivers quality as well as upstanding customer service with plenty of variety to choose from whether its reptiles or accessories or tanks! read more

UPDATE: they were able to get my original review taken off, so let me edit it so it's appropriate so it doesn't get deleted and so people can see the vile abuse they subject their animals to. This place is disgusting. The enclosures are always filthy. Even after you watch an employee "clean" an enclosure, it's still filthy. Their turtles in their turtle pond are so over crowded and under cared for that they kill eachother. I've seen many headless turtles in that pond. They have a water monitor that is kept in an enclosure the same size as it. No lighting. No room to even turn around. When asked why they don't have at least a light inside I was told "because he keeps breaking it, so why keep putting new ones in there?" Excuse me, what?? Then there's the giant python in a tank that has no protection over the bulbs that has multiple burn marks all over its body. THIS IS ABUSE. I now drive 30 minutes to a different reptile store because I could no longer in good conscience support this filthy animal abusing establishment. read more

Today we visited Reptile Island and we loved seeing all of the amazing animals they had inside. When you enter there are lots of water turtles swimming in little pools that you can feed! There is also a 20 year old turtle in a big pin in the middle of the store. The animals for sale are kept in nice cages and the staff is always walking around answering questions. Definitely recommend for geckos, snakes and other supplies. read more

Literally love this place! Amazing service as always! Love the team here. Always go to them for my pets needs.

Been here a few more times since my last review and the staff have been nice. Great selection. Prices are fair. Updating my review to 4 stars read more

Honestly, this place is very small. It has a very strong smell, so if you can't stand, any sort of musky smell, I would not come in here. I remember there was a big tortoise in the middle of the store. There wasn't that many reptiles to look at, but there was a lot of display items for you to buy. I just took my baby here one day for her to just look at everything. It was a quick little five minute adventure to be honest. For me personally, I cannot stand the smell so, I wanted to leave. Also, I don't think they have AC, which I assume is because of all the reptiles and not turning on to that reason. read more

So I called ahead of time to ask about tortoises they possibly carried and the girl that was on the phone was helpful in listing them out for me (Box, Greek, Russian, Sulcata, Leopard) / inquired about some of the prices. I've been doing my research to see which tortoise I'd like to take home, and decided to visit the store to see them in person. They were out of the Hermann's so I chose the Russian Tortoise and they kindly allowed me to have them hold it for about a week. Pros: They carried a wide variety of reptiles from snakes, tortoises, lizards, etc. There were also lots of reptile enclosure equipment and feeders (water bowls, bark, tanks, aqua tank equipment, moss, reptile lighting, hides, bark, roaches, mealworms, etc.) The staff was helpful and kind. The prices for the reptiles are fair especially for the captives, which was exactly what I was looking for. Cons: There are a lot of products in such a small space. The register is at the back of the store and because there's a lot of stuff inside, you shouldn't expect to be greeted or seen by a staff right away. It felt a bit cramped and dark. I highly suggest deep cleaning, even though I understand there is a ton to maintain... All in all, I enjoyed my visit and actually came back a few times for other necessities. The staff was kind and helpful. I was surprised to see huge grown sulcata tortoises and the variety of reptiles and products they had. Just please deep clean and maybe rearrange some things so it's not so cramped for the sake of everyone and the reptiles. read more

Q-tip shown for scale. This is $5 worth of "medium" dubia roaches. Much smaller than I'm used to seeing. Normally other shops would offer more quantity to make up for the smaller roaches. That wasn't the case here read more

I was looking to add a couple of hermit crabs to live with my other two crabs that I had. They were able to order me a paIr of crabs that arrived in about two weeks. These crabs were a lot bigger than expected, but they all seem to get along with each other. Staff is super friendly. Tons of cool creatures here and supplies to make them all happy. Even if your not buying it's fun to look around at their turtle pools. Located off Katella near Knott in a small plaza. Plenty of store front parking. P.S. most of these creatures live a LONG time!! read more

Highly recommended for its big selection of pets & feeders as well as the friendly and helpful staff. Good reptile shops are hard to find - yes I'm mid aged and have been involved in exotic pets for a very long time, especially with my mom being a retired science teacher. Anyhow, I go out of my way to come to this place instead of the one which is closer to my house. I'm not sure why anyone would give it less than 4 or 5 stars. It's not going to be like Petco lol! I really like the tall guy who helps out when we have questions or need assistance. They are a pleasant staff and not pushy or conceited. It's a nice place. Good prices. The animals are not overcrowded and are well maintained. Hoping to get more pets there!! If you need hard to find feeding supplies this is definitely the place for you. read more

Great customer service. Always there to answer any questions you have. Great place to get some food for your reptiles.

Lost a snake. Got a snake. Thank you! I enjoyed the selection that they have. Super helpful staff.

Great place to get your reptile friends! Reasonable prices and friendly staff. I rather call instead of just going as they are a good drive from me,but always find what I'm looking for. Hours are pretty good as they are open pretty late. Tip: if you are looking for something specific call them vs checking their social media, better chance of finding out if they have it in stock! Share pictures of your pets! They have beautiful creatures read more

Amazing staff that cares for the animals and provides knowledge and educates. We stopped by while on vacation and couldn't have had a better experience. Wish we could've left with a Bearded Dragon but planes are tough I guess. Their reptiles were so calm and relaxed. We even got to get and hold a few. read more

Came to this location because my local reptile shop has been out of small dubia roaches, which are needed for my juvenile dragon 1st. Called ahead, they let me know they did have some in stock so I took the 30min drive out to get them, got there, first impression, wow wide variety of reptiles, water turtles look happy, they have lots of wood logs and sticks for your reptiles, lots of enclosure accessories, feeding dishes, whatever you need for the enclosures. Walked in, wasn't greeted, no one asked if we needed help or if we knew what we were looking for, I assume they were too busy talking. Started walking around looking at all the reptiles, most of the enclosures are really dirty. I mean, you think you can take the reptile bark out of their water bowls and actually put water. Especially because the two employees there were just laughing it up talking. What's 5 minutes to do that? The glass on most of them lower was filthy. It's like that saying, don't bite off more then you can chew. If you have a huge variety you have to have the proper time to clean and care for the reptiles. I was thinking Okay whatever maybe it's been hard if they just re opened or something. Get to check out, was asking the guy simple questions and every response was with the attitude that I was an idiot for asking. Thanks. Asked the prices for the dubia roaches and he said 80 was his limit to sell, ok that's more then I needed but I'll take 80 in case my local store doesn't get them tomorrow. Got home fed my Bearded dragon he ate 21 roaches, second feed 18 roaches, next day feed 24 roaches, I have 8 roaches left means he shorted me 9 roaches. You think ok no big deal but it is when you're rude about selling them, you tell me 15 cents a piece or whatever for the 80, I don't even remember how much they were because I bought a couple more things. That's half of one of my feedings ‍ I honestly wouldn't come back here unless again my local spot is out of small for a couple of days. The up side to this place is the store pet, he's beautiful. He was more intriguing then the employees. He's the reason for the 2 stars or id give none. I recommend Reptile Factory. Never have I ever seen a dirty enclosure. Reptiles are happy, employees are so so nice and helpful. read more

Horrible looking establishment the two girls just sitting behind the front desk need some help when obviously they don't care at all for the animals but all the cages are cloudy and smells horrible the reptiles need help most of their bugs are dead and in bad conditions their humidity is not monitored at all everything from the pay 2.00 to feed the turtles are dusty and not cleaned at all the place needs new management for sure read more

Reptile Island - Our new baby in the family. 4 month old Leopard tortoise - Pet Stores Near Me - Stanton, California

Anyone who cares about their reptiles shouldn't come here. They don't even care. Customer service is terrible, they give you minimal details upon buying items and apparently their phones matter more to them than the customers. Never coming again. For example, when I had gotten there I walked up to the door a bit early, I didn't notice the sign at the window and when I tried to open the door the guy sitting there didn't even bother to tell me to look at the sign. He just looked up at me and back at his phone, which I though was pretty rude. Then when the doors opened I walked in and asked for a lamp for my turtle. Another worker was about to get a lamp for me and I had to ask him what size would be best for my turtle because I wasn't really sure about which lamp was best for my turtle. I didn't like my experience, I've been there before and never felt irritated like this coming into a reptile shop. Lost my damn business. read more

Cool place. You can find lots of your reptile needs here. Feed, supplies, cages, tanks, food, and reptiles! Great location, could compete with some other stores with presentation and upkeep but it works for them. Highly recommend stopping in and taking a look. Might come back for some baby chameleons read more

I was very excited to check out a reptile store by me, and I am really sad to say this was not the best. I saw a bearded dragon with thousands of bugs in its enclosure, even visibly walking all over his body. Animals were sitting in feces, had greens that were going bad in their enclosures and many looked sick. The chameleons were in sad conditions and some were sitting in ways indicating illness, and overall I just saw more unhealthy and unhappy reptiles than happy ones. I hate to give a bad review but Reptile Island needs to know that their store is sad, and they need to do better! I was so shocked that I didnt approach anyone when I was in there, but please clean your enclosures and do some research on the animals you are selling! read more

I come to this place for my reptile food , prices are decent and you just have to know the right time to go during the week as towards the end of the week they may not have the feeding items you want until next weeks restock. Since COVID you do have to wear a mask and you cant walk around and look at the animal like before there is also a maximum amount you can purchase or roaches, worms etc. Workers are knowledgeable regarding reptile care, any time we come in and have some questions regarding care of the animals they have been able to help us out anytime read more
