Best place in town to get your non-standard pet's food and enrichment. excellent aquatic selection and birds. Lots of reptiles. Defiantly a fun place to look around at all the critters, even if you don't plan on buying. nice, helpful staff as well. been there for years.

Great selection of stuff, fair prices and I take all three of my parrots there for beak, and talon trims. Also, gotta love Grandma, the Amazon parrot, who is sometimes there. The service is friendly too, it's the only place I go here in Sarasota, and I live a block away from another establishment, so I'd rather drive 10-20 minutes so come here than to go somewhere I am ignored, I can't say it enough, the customer service here is unlike any other owt store I've been to. If you have parrots they do offer free trims if you spend a certain amount of money on merchandise, and as a parrot owner you know it's easy to spend money on toys for them to destroy, so this discount special is very welcome to have. Overall, if you have any type of pet and looking for great customer service and expert advice, this is your place.

The store was amazing. Not only did they have a variety of reptiles but also various fresh and saltwater fish. Also a great place to buy enclosures and isopods. Staff was impressive, even one clerk named Tim that helped me prepare for the paludarium I was making. 5 stars for me!

I think it's best you call as animals and their associated costs vary on supply and demand.

Is this a family owned business or a chain business?

Do they sell raccoons

I've been frequenting this place, for 3 years, never seen a raccoon. Raccoons are also very tough pets to have. My friend had one. He had to childproof his whole house. Lock every cabinet, and keep everything he owned on shelves very high up. Do your research.

is this a rescue shelter?

No, just pet sales and boarding

I have a Eclectics and she keeps pulling her feathers out. Have changed her food. She gets taken out of her cage every day so she can socialize with us. But still pulls feathers out. What else can i do?

I have guppies galore! Not a specific strain just mixed fancy guppies. Anyhow I need to rehome a bunch, at least 100 up to probably 300 of them. Would you be interested in them for store credit? I also have tons of cherry shrimp if interested. Thank

Do they sell gargoyle geckos here?

Lyndsey Ely | Aug 17, 2019
David Verizzo | Aug 17, 2019

Call them up and ask? They are great people and it is a great place to do business. I had asked him about tokay geckos, what they didn't have at the time but said they would be happy to check on the price and availability. As Paul said, they can likely get you anything you want and in my experience their prices are pretty reasonable

Do they sell hedgehogs here

Not your Business | Aug 17, 2018
Amanda Graves | Aug 17, 2018

Sometimes they have them in and sometimes they do not. I would NOT recommend buying an animal from this shop. Our iguana fell sick just weeks after we got it and didn't show signs of great health right we bought it. We called the shop. Said not their problem and to call a vet. Our Iguana died a few days later. I will NEVER return to this shop again!!!
