Love Dinky Reptiles. The coolest reptiles and other pets. They always have new animals. Pretty much every time I go there I see something awesome I have never seen before. Private owned pet shops have been unfortunately not as common because of companies like petco and pet smart. I have seen the prices of corporate pet shops going up and up. Dinkys is still reasonable. Very informative if you have any questions. Great place.

I have been going to this reptile shop a lot and, honestly, there are rarely (if ever) any downsides whenever I go. Brian is an amazing owner who clearly cares for his animals. Every time I go he or an associate of his are always refreshing their reptile tanks and clearly giving their reptiles great care. Every reptile I've handled from their shop, including the California kingsnake I recently purchased from them, are insanely tame to the point where it wouldn't surprise me if the associates individually worked with every single animal that they own to make sure they are as handleable as possible. I saw a little boy handling a chameleon at the shop and that chameleon didn't flare up or act aggressively in any way. In my personal experience, my kingsnake is extremely tame and has zero health issues as far as I can tell and is very interactive with me. I've pretty much harassed every snake they have taken in within the last year, including a gorgeous carpet python (well-known for aggressive tendencies), and none ever once tried to strike or showed defensive posture. I highly enjoy stopping in every once in awhile to check out new reptiles since they are constanty taking in and selling new reptiles that most Massacusetts residents would never even see in person otherwise. I've seen all kinds of skink, swift, iguana, snake and lizard species there that you will never find at any other retail pet store in Mass. As for feeder insects, every feeder I purchase from them are extremely healthy and long-lived. I've never had a single dubia roach die after purchased from them. My mealworms and superworms likewise last long. If anything, my one "problem" with their feeders is that their crickets are TOO healthy to the point they jump way higher and move way faster than those at big-brand petatores that I have purchased. Whereas a cricket I buy from Petco will only live three days in my cricket keeper serup, one from dinky's will go at least two weeks under the same exact conditions. And for prettymuch the same price too, no less.

Dinky is worth the drive and the time to check it all out.. absolutely get prices amazing and beautiful reptiles and tarantulas. Every tarantula I've bought there all 11 😁 have been great with handling and very beautiful in color and in looks all very healthy. Also have gotten frogs,lizards and snakes from them. The snakes we got we're amazing in price for the breeds they get. I was scared s#*&@less of tarantulas and snakes and the owner broke my fear in one day lol now my fears are my pets and love it.. check them out.👍👍👍🦎🐢🐍🐸🕷️

I love this place because of the knowledgeable & responsible owner and his wide variety of exotic animals. If you're looking to start a new hobby or find a new pet but don't know a thing about reptiles. This is the perfect place to get that insider knowledge one-on-one.

Yes he let hand the ball pythons even if ur just looking. There are some that will say do not open or no handling. All you need to do is ask 😁
They carry many types of chameleons. Best to call and ask or message on Facebook
All of their reptiles are of best possible health.
I was just there, they have a bunch to choose from
Yes from time to time. Brian is the owner and can order you anything you need. Very helpful and fantastic place to go.
I would give them a call, the owner and the ladies that work there are awesome, I was in there recently and they did have a pretty extensive inventory. Many new little critters. I'm not sure on the hognose, I'd definitely call. If he dont have it he would most likely be able to get it.
Everyone wears a mask. The owner is medically exempt from wearing a mask
Depends on what size and kind. The prices range a bit. You can call and ask.
I would call them, they are very helpful, if they don't have it, they may be able to help you find it
They have them there, but those might be ones he's holding for people and not for sale.
Yes he does
I've been there many times and haven't seen one in there store but I may be wrong. If your ever looking for a specific reptile they do there best to get one in store for you. Just go in and strike a convo. There excellent there
The times I have been there I did not see any but if you call I would think he would be able to get it for you.
Yes they do. They have tons of other animals as well.
I haven't been by the shop in a few weeks but I do know he gets them in some times and I would suggest calling him he's a great guy to do business with
Most of the bearded dragons are tan and black, there were a couple that looked orange. I believe they have a silky also.
The owner uses his cell phone. He has a lot of knowledge in the field and it is definitely worth stopping in and talking with him, even if just to get his number.
Always, it's preferred 💜
He does sometimes. Best to call
They have aquatics on the other side of him, but i would call and ask Brian.
No
Brian can usually get in most animals asked for. He has different turtles and tortoises all the time.
