This is the best place in Central Texas to get exotic pets and supplies for them. Awesome knowledgeable staff with a wide variety of snakes, spiders, lizards, birds, and more - and food and habitat for them. Fair prices and usually fast service - just know that if you're in a rush that guarantees multiple people got there right before you and each has a particularly complex and time consuming ask of the staff ..

Lots of beautiful animals. A bit dirty and unorganized but I'm sure with a store that big it can be hard to maintain. The staff was very nice and helpful. Some of the stuff was way overpriced but the animals seemed very taken care of.

This is a great place for MS & HS science teachers! The owner of this establishment is an absolute gem - I love his down to Earth demeanor mixed with his sincere professionalism. In addition to having a respectful owner there are so many great employees working here that are always so kind to me and to my dog and it's endearing how so many of them recognize him as I enter. The smiling faces I'm used to have always been great about getting me mice for my python, which is our school pet, and now that students are wanting their own pythons and asking me where to go I say this place instead of Petsmart/Petco.I (and all my 6th graders) also want to say a huge thank you to the owner for allowing me to grab these Dubai roaches last minute for our animal behavior choice chamber lab. Thank you again for your understanding and kindness. Great business owner!

Mites EVERYWHERE!!! They have them displayed when these blood sucking parasites can be treated. They should not be displayed. It's gross and half of the animals don't have water and are dry. Especially the tiny geckos.... ZK do better for real. I feel like I need to shower after coming into this shop. Most of the snakes are soaking because they are covered in mites!!!

We went to the store to get a ball python, but when we got home with it we realized that the store sold us a snake that had mites. We had to return the snake. Overall would not recommend.

This place has nearly everything for your unusual pet needs. I am here quite often for mice, rats and crickets to feed our mix of hungry pets. We love to look around to see the new additions, highly recommended the used section for great deals on tanks and other supplies!

First time there today. I will give a massive 5 stars and would give more if I could. I walked in and was greeted and offered help and to just ask if it was needed. I like this as I personally like to be left up to my own devices unless I need something. I viewed a great selection of Herp products. I also asked for some personal opinions from a young man with a beanie. During this time I was speaking with my wife and the young gal over heard that I was looking for some pinkies and was more than eager to help me out when I was ready to check out. I decided to stay a bit and check out their selection snakes and others. During this time I wanted to view a few different corn snakes. When I asked for assistance the young man was pleased to help me and also had the attitude of service to the customer. Coming from a business owner, it's all about the treating the customer to their needs. I felt mine were more than met. Upon checking out I met another man more my age. I apologize but I forgot his name, he had longer hair and I believe was tank maintenance and cleaning. We spoke and shared some photos and he also left such an impression on me that I don't mind driving up from San Antonio to be a repeat customer. Thank you for giving me great service.

I saved a tarantula that was stung by a wasp and Dave was absolutely AMAZING at walking me thru the steps I needed to take to help the little guy survive. He knew his stuff and made me feel so comfortable with all of his advice! You won’t find anyone better in Austin!

Best experience ever. Had not only what we were looking for but staff was hella sweet. All animals look well cared for and I genuinely will be using this as my main source for my own reptiles and animals. Screw normal pet stores. Thanks for a good experience Zoo!

Anyone who keeps exotics knows how ridiculously expensive things are in our niche hobbies. Zookeeper has such competitive pricing that even Amazon doesn’t keep up on some things. Great place, many options. This place is a must for anyone in the central Texas area.
