★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Very helpful staff as they helped us set up with everything we needed for our first time as tarantula owners. Didn’t try to oversell anything in fact recommended some cheaper options on the tank and accessories. Good guidance on care.Huge selection, especially if you are into lizards and snakes! Many options. We left with my daughter begging to buy a snake too. We may be back for that purchase soon.
August 26 · Matt MannellGreat service, healthy animals. The only thing I don’t like is that it’s a little bit dirty if you go to the fish tanks, and you look at the bottom there’s water everywhere and the filter tanks. Don’t look very good and also there’s some parts that things are like broken and stuff but overall it’s pretty good and I would recommend getting pets from there.
May 15 · Asher SimmonsUsed to be wayyyy nicer. Last 2-3 times reptile department hasn't been too friendly. Asked questions about feeder prices and if they ever get a specific lizard I was in the market for. Very curt and not so friendly. Also have very few reptiles compared to a few years ago. Fish department is fun though and seem way nicer. Update. Went to check it out again and they had a very poor looking ETS. I get that it was relinquished but it should either be held back until it looks better or sold much cheaper. The price of him is what I paid for a CB female, which is going rate for females, who was in top shape so his pricing did not make sense.Tons of damages scales and maybe some mild mbd near his hip only pro I have to say is he was a good weight. If I didn’t already have a male in my group and if he wasn’t so expensive I would take him in and try to get him. Photo of him. Looks much worse in person. Please give him to a rescue who knows what they’re actually doing. Really disappointed in the care of this guy
August 06 · Pek K (Pek)Nice variety of freshwaterfish, plenty of cichlids. They have a nice snake and reptile selection if you're into that. Fish are a bit on the pricey side, but maybe it's worth it if you can't find elsewhere. Staff are always friendly and helpful!I am updating my original review to reflect my most recent experience today: I've purchased multiple fish from this store in the past, but unfortunately, during today's visit, I noticed several cichlids with sunken bellies. I'll give the benefit of the doubt that they may have arrived this way, but it was still concerning to see. As an avid cichlid owner with over 100 in my personal collection, I take the health and well-being of these fish very seriously. I hope this review is received positively and that a thorough assessment is done to ensure their care and quality of life.
March 02 · Kahawana SaurayThey’ve always got fish. Staff is polite. Employees are super great and helpful. I love coming here. My husband is in a wheelchair, but he loves coming. Getting fishes and plants a pleasure to be in the store. Pet kingdom is a great place for children and adults.
