They were awesome and helped me with everything for my crested gecko. I also bought beautiful tropical plants from them that were reptile safe.! My crested gecko was very healthy and we love her ! read more

I was driving the back road to my destination and saw the lighted sign and pulled in. Someone has asked for a Crested geckos for Christmas and I figured I'd stop in to get a feel for the cost of a whole set up. They were kinda busy when I walked in so I looked around the shop to what they offered. They had a large assortment of various reptiles, tank gear, plants and food supplies. Once it was my turn to be helped the gentleman who helped me was very informative and knowledgeable. He was able to answer all my questions and I am for sure going to be getting our new friend from here. So excited to welcome home a much anticipated reptile. Animal enclosures were clean and shelves seemed to be well stocked read more

Friendly clean local reptile store. I met the owners at market pokeman event on a Saturday outside the store. The event was organized with about a dozen tents, plus they had food and drinks available. A fun time. The owners had a seperate table/tent with an exhibit of dinosaurs. It was interesting, especially as a gift for children. Good experience. The selection of dragons inside the store was interesting. Check it out. read more

Amazing variety and customer service Highly recommend Very knowledgeable staff all the reptiles look well taken care of Will definitely be back read more

Omg!!! Everyone I have the pleasure of talking to have been so helpful and no judgement. I come 30 minutes away just to come here because how awesome it is. Great selection of everything and even better prices. Last time I came in Anthony was so fun to talk to and gave me great advice to help my bearded dragon. read more

I'm pretty neutral about businesses, I rate only the ones who are really good or really bad. This shop is REALLY GOOD. I've put them to the test too! They know their reptiles top to bottom, and their are nothing short of experts at at tarantulas. I've bought several tarantulas there, and all in great health, and doing well. Staff are friendly, funny even! Most of all, they know that they are talking about. The shop is clean and things are easy to find! Plenty of snake and lizard food too. If you're a snake and tarantula freak like me, you'll like this store. Good job guys. -"SCUBA Dennis". read more

My husband and I just got a Baby King Snake. We went to a couple of reptile stores to purchase a setup, and all the places seemed to want to overcharge us! The Reptile Shop did the complete opposite. Not only were they able to help us choose the best and most affordable setup for our king snake, but the service they provided was exceptional! We learned new things and were able to have all our needs met! Keep it local don't go to big businesses like pet-smart etc! read more

Excellent customer service from Dylan. Dylan was patient and knowledgeable about isopods. Answered all of my sons question, and even helped setup the environment! That's outstanding service! Dylan makes it worth the drive from San Diego. Highly recommend this shop read more

My son has a leopard gecko and a bearded dragon. I had been spending a lot of money at pets mart and petco buying them food, accessories and other things. Until I found the reptile shop. They have a large selection of reptiles and anything you can need for them from food to enclosure accessories. I have been spending less than half of what I was on purchasing meal worms and crickets, they have a large variety on the reptile feeders. I definitely won't be shopping anywhere else for toothless and yoshi! read more

We have been coming to this store for 6 years now. They have a great selection of feeders for reptiles and good selection of products. I'm greeted as soon as I walk through the door about 90% of the time and they always ask if I need assistance when they are not having a busy day. The employees are friendly and helpful and the Owner is awesome. They breed a lot of their own reptiles and, they also may have something more interesting that a collector may be looking for as well. Prices are fair and comparable to other stores. read more

Oh my gosh this is the best place yet it is not like petco or pet smart. This place is the best they are so kind to you and they also ask you if you need any help. Their prices are good because they are not expensive. I got my leopard gecko for only $25. I would ask Brock for any assistance you need he is so kind. He knows a lot about animals and will give you the right things you need for it. read more

I rarely write reviews, but since I saw a recent one that was negative, I felt compelled to write one. Yelp is problematic at best. Reviews are not verified and business owners can do almost nothing to remove a bad or fake review. I saw a review by "Brein B." from June 26, 2025 and just had to respond. I'm not sure what store s/he visited, but I was in the Reptile Shop on the 26th and saw employees topping off water bowls while I was there. Furthermore, if "this place used to be awesome" as this reviewer states, why only a negative review? Where is the positive one from when it "used to be awesome." Makes me question the validity of this review altogether. For the record, this shop is bar-none one of the best reptile shops in all of Southern California, and I have been in the hobby longer than many enthusiasts have been alive (I remember when it was legal to sell Caimans in California and the only dart frogs and red-knee tarantulas were wild collected). Look at the overwhelmingly positive reviews or stop by the store - you'll see what is true. read more

Great customer service. Always had supplies we need at decent prices. We stop by for roaches and/or rickets at least once a week.

Very knowledgeable friendly staff and good selection, they carry an assortment of reptiles amphibians and invertebrates read more

I absolutely love this reptile shop. My family and I always have a great time going here. It's always a great experience. We always love seeing what new animals they're adopting out. The guys here are always super helpful and friendly. They're always super nice to my kids. I love that! It's also super clean, which is hard to accomplish, with a lot of exotic animals. So, that's a huge plus. With some exotic animal stores, I feel like I have to check my morals at the door. Here I don't have to do that, so that too is great. If you're looking to add a scaly family member, or some amazing Tarantula, to your family, or just want to have a fun date night experience, or the like, go here. You wont regret it. I love this place, and I think you will too! read more

Was having a hard time finding feeders for my ball pythons, this place is amazing. Great customer service!!! Great quality of feeders. Normally my ball pythons are super picky with some feeder from some shops, my ball pythons weren't picky with the feeders from here. Couldn't be happier. If you're looking for rats or mice I highly recommend this shop!!! Will be back :) Happy babies read more

Amazing service! The 1st time I came in Tristan helped out showing my kids around letting them and teaching how to hold a ball python.. I came back a couple of weeks later and Anthony and Dylan helped me when I bought a ball python for my daughter and kept in touch with me since it was shedding and told me to wait until it was done to feed it.. Will definitely be coming back read more

Great and knowledgeable shop with a wide selection of great reptiles! You never know what you will find here.

We had a great time visiting this shop. Matt and Jeff spent a ton of time answering our questions and interacting with our 10 and 11 year old. They helped make sure they were comfortable handling multiple kinds of snakes and had a ton of info and facts. So much that our 'research' trip turned into an 'adoption' trip. We left with our adorable corn snake - a Ghost Motley, whom we named Crüe. She is so tame and friendly, and the perfect starter snake. The kids look forward to going each week to pick up her food. These guys know their reptiles and their customer service. Don't waste your time with the big box pet shops staffed by indifferent teens and stocked with animals they won't let you handle before purchasing. read more

I ordered a custom glass enclosure for my ball python from The Reptile Shop. Jeff helped me with the specifications to consider, patiently answered all of my zillion questions, and kept me updated on the order status. It's excellent quality. They bubble-wrapped the doors and included the door handles for me. They even added a reinforced top mesh. Excellent customer service and excellent quality products. They loaded into my car for me and everything. Thank you so much! I love it! I'll update my review with pix and follow up soon. read more

I absolutely love this place!! The people are very knowledgeable and will answer all your questions! they have really great products and prices as well! I purchased 2 morning geckos and a lil enclosure and they answered all my questions and i had alot! Thank you guys! read more

This place is where you want to go for your reptiles. 100% hands down. I've recently adopted my third reptile from them. my coworkers combined have gotten 6 others. Every single one has been healthy, without parasites, well socialized and a beautiful display for that species. The staff is amazing, polite, will take their time answering your questions to make sure you're getting a good fit for your lifestyle. Couldn't ask for a better reptile store in this day. read more

Best reptile shop! They have awesome employees that are very knowledgeable about their inventory. I got my class pet, a Bearded Dragon, here and the owner came and delivered it to my classroom and did a whole lesson as well as brought a python for them to see and touch too! The kids loved the experience. Hands down recommend these guys! read more

I have a new pet lizard, and I went to The Reptile Shop for the first time today. I came away really bothered by the condition of the cages and the way they are housing some of their lizards. In almost every cage that contained a lizard or tortoise (I didn't look at the snakes), the bottom of the cage had poop all over it and the water in the water bowls was filthy. It looked like the cages hadn't been cleaned in a week, or the water bowls changed out. In addition, they are keeping lizards in small plastic containers in a "cubbies-like" shelf behind the cash register. The container I saw was about 8-9 inches long and probably 5-6 inches wide. The lizard was almost as long as the container. I watched as an employee pulled out one of the containers, and I didn't see any water or food available to the lizard. The employees were friendly, and there had a good selection of animals, but I was really turned off by their treatment of the animals. :( I will not be back. read more

Let's start off by saying this place is clean and above else values their customers. I'd rather drive the 30+ minutes to this place than go to LLL. I walked in simply looking for a super Mack snow and my wife and I walked out with 5 + geckos. Now you could say they made the sale but no they sat there with us past closing time; educating and actually treating their customers like human beings. Friendly staff , knowledgeable and above all else PATIENT. They weren't trying to rush us out the door and as I said before their patience was rewarded. We respect the employees and it made us want to come back. This rating is a 5 Star but their service is above and beyond . 10/10 will and would recommend to other reptile hobbyist. Shoutout to Skillet and Matt; I believe that was their names. read more

First time there, I was asking a bunch questions because I just got a python that was a gift and inquiring about how To take care of and how many times I need to feed my snake and they were all very helpful in answering the questions and on top of that I bought a 40 gallon terrarium at a reasonable price because I needed one but also bought my snake's food and with the large variety of reptiles that they have there .. you cannot help but to spend a little time and look around but all I can say is I like going there because of the good vibes and knowledge that everyone has at that store... Thank you Reptile shop read more

Tons of bugs with no lids on them. Animals in cages look barely healthy. Smelled worse than any reptile shop ive ever been in. Employees give the shittiest vibes. I bought frozen rats and the faces on the rats are all bloody which means they kill their feeders in a cruel and rushed manner. Feeder rats seem to fed very poor nutrition. Was very excited to find larger rats for my snakes but these are horrific to even look at. When thawing theres just pools of blood.... read more

Shout out to this shop for good customer service, great prices and availability of feeders, and a genuinely amazing collection/offering of reptiles, arachnids, and a ton of gear. I said I'd shout out on IG but wanted to make sure to drop a Yelp review. Thanks for what you're doing to support amateur collectors like me. read more

NEVER come to this place. They sell SICK ANIMALS.Drove and hour and a half for their service on my snake to see if they could help me for selling me a sick one. Came for nothing and ended up empty handed. And it doesn't help the business when the manager has a butt plug on when helping customers by being utterly disrespectful and acting hard towards customers who drive a great distance for their service. Not to mention, it smells god awful in this store. Like something died and I wouldn't be surprised if anything did. I would be better off getting a lizard or snake from the wild than buying anything from this circus they call a reptile store. read more
