I came in not too long ago for a feeder mouse and was telling the woman at the register how I had just bought a new heat lamp from Petco and had to unplug it because it smelled like it was going to start an electrical fire and how disappointed I was. She recommended I try out a Fluker's brand heat lamp and showed me what they had in stock. I'm glad she did, I love it! Another time I had driven to the old location out of habit before realizing my error and turning around. I had gotten to the new location just as they were closing up shop for the night. The man in the process of locking the door saw me, waved, and asked if I needed something. I said I was only there for a feeder mouse and he said no problem! He took the time out of his day to help me out even when he didn't have to and I really appreciated that. This is the place I trust to have quality reptile supplies and staff members that actually care.

I purchased a female dachshund puppy from this breeder, Nancy Magnusson in 2021. At approximately…read morefive months old, I noticed one of her hind legs was bowing out. My Vet did X-rays and advised that her growth plate had already closed resulting in her left hind leg being shorter than the other. My Vet recommended I take her to see a specialist to confirm a diagnosis. The specialist confirmed a genetic disorder called Pes Varus and recommended surgery. If she did not have surgery, she would develop early osteoarthritis which would dramatically affect her quality of life. I love her to death and want her to have the best life possible, and therefore agreed to the surgery. I reached out to the Nancy to inform her as it was recommended the sire and dam should not breed anymore puppies. I also asked if she would be willing to help pay for some of the cost of the surgery which was $4,500. She offered me another puppy. Why would I take another puppy from this breeder when the first puppy cost me the initial cost of $1,500 plus an additional $4,500? For a Grand total of $6,000!! She also offered to "help pay a little bit" and asked that I let her know the cost of the surgery. I sent her copies of all the bills and never heard back from her. I would never buy or take for free any puppy from this breeder. She was very nice on the front end, but didn't seem to care that she is breeding dogs with genetic defects.
