I used to love this place as a kid, we bought so many geckos and lizards here. I came back to visit 10 years later and was so excited to bring my little boy to a place that was so special to me and I'd spend hours enjoying and learning about the animals. Unfortunately, they have made a large portion of the reptiles part of a pay-to-access zoo area and the prices are really steep $15 per person. I was so bummed to not show my little boy everything but it was too much with my whole family to go. He had fun feeding the turtles and seeing what we could. I wish it was a bit more reasonable to go see the other animals.

Awesome reptile zoo. Lots of different species to see and we spent about 2 hours there in total. The add-ons (interactive show, photos, or feedings) are fairly priced and a worthwhile experience. Staff and the owner, Jay, are super friendly. Would visit again.

They have limited amount of snakes. They sell all the babies from the snakes they own so you would have to call and see what they have.

Do You guys rescue turtles? I found a turtle crossing the street in my neighborhood in South Los angeles and I don't know where to take it. Its bigger than the ones I've seen at pet stores.

Yes. Is it a red eared slider? Aquatic? Bring it to the pet store side and they will assess it. I work there. Ellen is my name. Thank you for rescuing it! :)

kwaku asare | Aug 21, 2021

You need to be at least 16 years old to work there.

what is the total number of snakes produced each year at the zoo? What is the price range for purchase/snake? Is there any follow up to tracking the outcome and viability of snakes 1-2 years after being sold??

Richard Soper | Aug 21, 2020
Jerry Brady | Aug 21, 2020

I would guess up to 300 plus are hatched a year and the price range can go as high as 20000 Alot of people bring them in as they grow However we send snakes worldwide

If we have a reptile we can long longer take care of do you take them in?

Maia Lulu | Aug 22, 2019
Sandra Quintana | Aug 22, 2019

As many times as I've been to the Reptile House only once did I ever see someone take one in. I believe they did fir care. Your best bet is to call and dbl check. Don't want anyone driving that far out and not be able to enjoy at least 1-2 hrs in there. They expanded it so it looks very nice now 😊🐲

My friend needs to give up his two bearded dragons so you guys take in animals?

Maia Lulu | Aug 22, 2019
Autumn Thomas | Aug 22, 2019

They do take in animals but it is best if your friend tries to rehome his pets first because he won't get them back once they take the dragons in

What's the price

pele dax | Aug 22, 2019
Damaris Enriquez | Aug 22, 2019

You can look around the shop for free and take pictures...you can pay and feed the turtles and giant turtles too. If you want to go in that's also a separate price roughly around $10.00 for adults and like $8.00 for little kids. My kids are 13 and 15 and they paid $10.00 each.
