I’ve purchased my rough neck monitor, pied ball python and dart frog from them. I absolutely love my animals and you can tell they put in the work to socialize them and actually care. I would recommend them any day. I will continue to be purchasing my animals from them and suggest you do the same 💯
Feeder pricing is pretty good, but when I called to check I was answered with an unnecessarily rude attitude. I asked about the pricing for small mice small rats and rat pups. After asking the first two questions I was asked if I was just going to be asking pricing and that shes busy.If youre too busy to answer questions about pricing maybe the prices should be on your website? I can appreciate prioritizing people inside of the store, but give your customers the resources to find the info on their own then. Again the attitude was also unnecessary. Ive bought enclosure supplies from them in the past but most likely wont come here again.
Its my #1 go to reptile place. Owner is amazing, staff are awesome. Always have cool cool cool animals for sale. If you want a very exotic creepy crawler, a snake (pythons, milkshakes, kingsnakes, boas, etc.) And some amazing lizards, this is your place. Definitely a need to go place and the prices are great!
I purchased my first leopard gecko from BJ’s Jungle. My gecko is super friendly and calm and will just lay on you and relax. A week or two later I bought my second leopard gecko from Repzotica. I should’ve known what I was walking into when my leopard gecko was in plastic Tupperware shoved in a drawer with no sunlight or room and barely any air. All it had was a wet paper towel. I’ve had both geckos for a few months now and since the day I got the gecko from repzotica it has been absolutely crazy. You cannot handle this gecko. It is wildly fast, agitated, and has bitten both me and my other gecko. It is not friendly. My guess is because of the environment it was in while at the store. The advice I would give is do your research and go to more than one place before choosing your pet. If they are willing to sell to you without giving you any information or asking any questions it is probably not a good idea to purchase from them.
I have been looking for a Russian Tortoise and havent been able to find one. I googled reptile stores and found Repxotica, Inc. My hisband and I drove from Brooklyn NY and i was not disappointed. The staff was very friendlyThe reptiles all looked very healthy. I went home with a young Russian Tortoise. It is active and loves to eat. I will definitely be going there in the future.
I love Repxotica! The staff here are SO helpful! Im currently building my leopard gecko a bioactive vivarium. They had so many options for everything I needed. All the latest most high tech gadgets are there. And the prices are great. I bought all my arcadia bulbs here and a lamp dome. I also get my leopard geckos food here. They have lots of options! I used to buy from chain pet stores and I would find half dead or dead bugs in the mix ALL the time. At repxotica, the feeders are always fresh and healthy looking! Also, the other chain pet stores recommended all the wrong products to me. At repxotica, I was able to receive better more knowledgeable info. Its obvious how much the staff care about your pet. Im very thankful this store is right down the block from me. Also, I love going to this store to see all the animals! They have lovely displays of beautiful lizards. I will continue to go to this store for all my reptile needs. It is the best reptile store I have ever been to.
After a bad experience with another store I can say that the staff here really care about their animals. They were nice enough to take back the baby sulcatas I got swindled into buying. Please review the animal you want for about a week before you buy. Dont make the same $500 mistake I did and make the sad trip of giving them away...Ill come back to this store one day when I am able to care for one of their guys.
It is a really nice and relatively clean store, the workers are cool and it is a great place to get your first reptile. I went there to get my first tarantula and my mother didnt want one until the guys there talked her into it. I brought home a healthy and docile (chill) pinktoe tarantula. Far better than reptile rage.
I picked up a beautiful pied ball python from Repxotica today and Im super impressed. Not only did they help me with purchasing the pied, but they also gave me advice on my other baby ball python!! Prices are amazing for cages, snakes, accessories and food. I loved this place and will definitely be returning in the future.
Great selection of reptiles, cages were clean and all the reptiles were well fed. Owner was very knowledgable and had a lot of food and cage accessories in stock. Prices were very reasonable, better than other big name pet stores. The new female employee that is there is very enthusiastic about reptiles and took the time to show many of the different reptiles that they have to offer. I eventually purchased a sand fire red Bearded Dragon who is full of energy and enjoys exploring the couch when he is out. I highly recommend purchasing from this store as the selection is vast and cleanliness of the enclosures is top notch.
The store is amazing. Its clean and all the reptiles seem healthy and all the cages are clean. The staff is friendly and prices are so reasonable. I would recommend this store 10/10. If you were to go to the store I would recommend to talk to Richie he was the man who helped me with the food of my beared dragon and what type of calcium sand I should get and helped with the rock since it was to small and I took the tag off, and so I wanted a bigger one and he said I only had to pay the difference. Love this store.Sincerly,Josemaria
I like the store. Lots of animals on display staff seems pretty helpful. And varied other items available for sale. Again I say their selection and animals available are fantastic.. as typical to a retail store they can be a little overpriced but nothing is better than able to see the animal youre purchasing. Having a place to physically go to ask for assistance when needed when buying an exotic animal is priceless.
I absolutely love this place they are extremly knowledgeable of all the animals they have and are there to help you find which one is best for you. They have everything from skinks to frogs and snakes and scorpions and spiders. With a new animal you get your first feeding free and when we went there and our frog didnt eat the worker gave us something else that may make them eat. I would highly recommend this place not just because of their amazing prices and variety of animals but the staff there is amazing. I have gotten an oscelated skink a sand boa and a fire bellied toad from this place and they are all in great health and have 0 issues.
I went there yesterday to buy food for my new bearded dragon and the kid behind the register was not helpful and had an attitude. Terrible experience and I will never go back there again. I had asked specifically in how to care for my baby bearded dragon. He is a silkback (a rare breed), and needs specific skin care. He had suggested coconut oil, and something else very high in fat content. Turns out this is the worst thing that you can do for a silkback. It would have burned his skin with the necessary UVB/UVA Rays that he basks under at a minimum 14 hours daily. 3rd degree burns. Glad that I did my research prior to taking his advice!
I am glad I found this store because it has everything you need for invertebrate keepers. This place is almost 32 miles from where I live, and I could just go to my local Petco which is less than 4 miles away, but this shop is kept clean, and pleasant and the staff are very helpful.
Went there on Monday, In search of some final supplies and a rainbow agama. Even thou I did not walk out with an agama the guys there were very helpful and informative. I ended up falling in love with a bearded dragon and walked out with my supplies and a wonderful pet. Thanks will be back next week for a female beardy.
The worst service, was ignored for over an hour, as two young employees texted and were too occupied to talk, after having asked for help more than once they told me to just look at whatever i wanted and take whatever animal i want out of the case because they are not going to do it since they were playing with a water hose in the back of the store... went somewhere else and bought a $1000 ball python morph...
The animals enclosures were not clean. Large snakes keept in small little tubs. Animals look like they want to escape there enclosure all piled on top of Escher. Costumer service was terrible we were there for 15 minuets and then they finally asked if we needed help.also the animals were way over priced
The staff here are very knowledgable and extremely helpful and definitely care about the well being of their animals unlike a lot of other places, I purchased a female champagne ball python and they gave me a complete setup at a great price, Im new to snakes and bombarded them with questions and they were very patient with me, Ive called them a few times for advice and theyre more than happy to help each time, (dont worry guys Im sure the overbearing amount of questions will slow down soon lol) out if all the reptile stores Ive been to I recommend Repxotica X10, you wont be dissapointed.

2022-04-04I just bought a ball python from Repxotica. This place is super clean and has an amazing selection. The woman knew what she was talking about and it completely shows in how she keeps her animals. It was a day and night difference from btjs jungle down the street. I will definitely return and will recommend.
