It was kind of dirty throughout most the reptile cages and we asked to get a better view of the tree frogs to any capacity as we were interested in potentially purchasing a couple, but the lady was pretty adament they didn't show them at all. I've owned amphibians and reptiles for YEARS so I am aware of the limitations of handling certain species, but the cage was so dirty and from the angle they were all resting against the glass it was hard to tell what species of tree frog they even were. We would've been happy to have stepped into the back room or have the tank just moved slightly to see but it didn't feel like we were getting anywhere unfortunately. Some of the prices for tanks were reasonable and we may be back again to see if it was just an off day as we try to support local businesses. But current first impressions bummed us out a bit.

This place is absolutely disgusting. It smells so bad you can barely breathe. These people shouldn’t be taking care of animals when they can’t even take care of their shop. Tanks were nasty and floors were gross. Do not recommend buying from here.

All fish are infected with ick and goldfish are deformed. The tanks are disgusting and do not look like they have ever been cleaned. The lady that works there was very arrogant and the most unfriendly person I have ever met. I would not recommend this place for anything aquatic. I can not comment about the other animals but the customer service or lack their of would be an understatement after she dropped the back of fish on the counter and let them slide over to me like she was playing cornhole. Wasted $100 bucks in this store and was treated like I wasn’t worth her time.

We just went here to get crickets for our new tarantula. We’re new to taking care of this creature and the lady was very rude. She talked down to us instead of trying to offer help. She made it known that she NEVER sold just one cricket to a customer before. We asked if she sells tarantulas and just said YUP. Didn’t direct us to where they are or anything. For someone who does sell them you think she’d be nicer. Also said she couldn’t offer us any knowledge unless we bought the pet there which was very immature.
