Wonderful and knowledgeable staff. When they saw we were serious about getting a snake they showed us so many different ones they had available and let us hold them to see their temperament. As a first time snake owner (though my bf knew what he was doing) they helped us get everything we needed to bring our new scaley baby home.They even included an entire care packet with lots of important information to care for our new little ball python, as well as a 7 day health guarantee and recommended vets they work with. They also said we were free to call them with any questions or concerns so they could walk us through at-home solutions or recommend going to a vet if absolutely necessary. Gave me a lot of peace of mind with my purchase!They also must do a good job caring for and handling their snakes because they were all very calm and nice when we handled them, no agression at all, but we picked the one that climbed all over our hands/arms slowly and seemed to love being handled.The facilities were clean, well kept, and even while they were helping us they were quickly helping other customers with live feeding animals. There's a bit of a stink when you first walk in (its not horrible, just noticeable), but when you keep lots of reptiles in one place, I would assume that comes with the territory. All the cages looked clean and all the animals looked well cared for.Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking at getting a reptile. Come here instead of a petsmart or petco! There is MUCH more variety with morphs and options here than any other pet store I've seen.

Well I was disappointed in this place seeing as there’s not many reptile specific stores in the Buford/Winder/Jefferson area. The worker I spoke to was definitely not knowledgeable about crested geckos or their current care recommendations. Not only did I have to correct her but she started to get an attitude with me, which is never fun. I still decided to go by this place for feeders and was disappointed. It smelled so bad when I walked in, and I’ve been in my fair share of pet stores. I still stayed to look around at feeders but after waiting for some help (wasn’t even greeted which was a bummer) I decided to just head out and go to a different store. Let’s do better y’all!

I just found this place after searching for a new place to get my feeders, my expectations were low after my experiences at other local shops. The shop is very clean and the animals look very well taken care of. No bad smells and even the feeder rodents looked well cared for. Lots of supplies for my lizards and the staff (Tom , Sebastian & Cyndi) were so helpful. This is probably the nicest pet shop staff I have met! They took the time to talk to me and give me advice on my animals and they don’t mind taking the time to show the animals to you. Most of the snakes are behind the counter, but there is a list and they will let you see whatever ones you want without an attitude. They have a wide selection of animals and great prices too. I’m definitely buying my next pet here! They restored my faith in supporting local!

My hometown pet shop closed so my mom found this shop to buy our snakes feeder rats. I like how it looks inside and it didn’t smell like our other pet store! They were having a sale this weekend so I think we are going back to get a milk snake. I thought it was cool that the snake breeder was there hanging out and her showed me all of the babies he made. He was really nice. I was set on ball Python but now I think the milk snake is best for us! I got some cool isopods for my bioactive tank and they even gave me a free plant for my set up. The lady who works there is helpful and showed me how to keep my bugs alive longer. I was having problems keeping my crickets alive. The other shop never told me the big crickets are older and don’t live more than 7-10 days, so more I’llget medium so they live longer and we don’t have to come so much. I’d love to come here every day but we live too far away. Hope this helps someone else find this cool pet store. ?

Bought a ball python here today. All of the animals in the shop are well cared for, and was given advice by the employees for both my new pet and my bearded dragon at home. I will gladly go here for all my exotic pets needs.

Just went in to look at the reptiles. It was neat to see GTPs (I don't think they were ETBs) in person. Many were being soaked, don't know the reason.Many enclosures had mold in them (especially the geckos), but they did have naturalistic set ups in. I also liked the fact that the baby beardies weren't up for sale yet, and I don't think I saw species cohabbing where they shouldn't be.Overall, I think it's a neat idea, maybe best served with having more employees to ensure hygiene and parameters are being met for each species.

I’ve been doing business at the shop for years best quality, best animals. I’ve never had any issues whatsoever. I still currently have multiple reptiles from this place that I have purchased from them years ago and they’re growing strong and still thriving. If I could give 10 stars I would. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new pet or quality feeders.

My favorite store to get feeders and dubias for my various reptiles. Staff are always great and they truly have everything that you need to get started with most (if not every) animal that they carry.

I’ve been looking for reputable reptile stores to purchase a new ball python but unfortunately the amount of stores in Georgia is very limited. I heard good things about this place and was told it was hidden gem. I walked in a with lots of excitement. It had a stink to it that most pet places have but it wasn’t to bad. I came in 20 minutes after they opened and they already had pretty decent foot traffic. They had a lot of empty displays, which it’s understandable, but the cages weren’t very clean. I would‘ve hoped they would clean it before they opened. They also had lots of dust and cobwebs on the products they sold, which weren’t many. They also didn’t seem like they interacted with they’re animals. It seemed more like the snakes they sold were for viewing, even more handleable snakes such as ball pythons. I was a bit disappointed, especially with the lack of display of the animals they sold. I didn’t make a purchase of an animal or any supplies but they seemed to have fair prices on snakes, though crested geckos were a bit pricey.

Great people and great place. We got two leopard geckos from RR and love them. Next up is a ball python and probably a tortoise.

Definitely 10/10 recommend! Got this little handsome fellow the other day from Reigning Reptiles. Everyone in the store where top tier informative. They gave me not one or two recommendations but at least 5 five based off what I was looking for. Even asked if I had needed anything else for my enclosure. They are amazing! I was in and out within 15 minutes.

Great staff! Great selection of pets and supplies. Pricing is fair and competitive. The staff and owner are very knowledgeable and more than willing to help with your reptile questions.
