We have a two country max stores near us that do well with their reptiles and then we have a professional reptile shop that is a bit of a drive away that is real nice. I'm very glad I found that place.

We have a couple good ones in our area. Scales 'N Tails North and Reptilian Paradise are pretty darn good.

Is this in the Lodi/Stockton area of California? The Serpentarium and Carter's sound so familiar. Just curious.

In the Des Moines metro I know of only one local pet store that has reptiles other than Petco or Petsmart and that's called Aqualand and a few miles north, in Ames, they have a pet store called the Ark where they do have a great reptile section.

GBU/Serpentarium are both in Lodi, Carter's is in Stockton.

I would never go to Serpentarium though, they charge $2 because they say they're a museum. I'm not going to say anything on here but if you look them up on Fauna the owner will have some interesting posts about him and there's a lot more that was never even publicly posted.

Wow. Maybe you should read that whole thread on the boi. Bill ( the original owner) plainly states that things are not what Naomi and Wes say they are. Kinda sad that you are perpetuating their lies, hate and propaganda.

I used to live in Lodi and Stockton was also part of my old stomping grounds. I've been to the Serpentarium when they were still on the south side of town before they moved. It was a blast and I really enjoyed it. I've been to Carter's many times as they had a great fish section which at the time I was in deep. There was another great pet store in Lodi on the corner of Stockton St and Kettleman Ln at the time which also had a great fish section but I forgot the name of it. Maybe you can help me with the name of that store.

I can think of 3 reptile-specific stores here in Miami... none of which keep their animals in great conditions. Besides that, Miami is littered with the big chain stores.

There is only one store, mayybbee two that provide decent quality reptiles in my area. They offer reptiles/amphibs/insectsarachnids. There is another pet store that offers a variety of different animals, but the conditions are HORRIBLE. I have tried talking sense into them but they always reply with a "we know what were doing"... I wish there was something I can do. There's a big tegu in a DOG CAGE with a litter box and a hide.... ridiculous. There beardies are almost dead, they have an enclosure with a pacman frog, whites tree frog, and some type of toad living together. The tank is disgusting. It really brothers me and I wish others could see it. I will try going in next time like I'm clueless and pretending like I'm amazed by the cool animals and snap a couple pics.

Just don't waste your time. I fear for your animals at home and what you may bring home without knowing about it.

Yes you are right. I'll think about it. I've only gone a couple times when I'm not able to go all the way downtown for rats.

I know people who have been completely ripped off by Rob whether it's selling animals too young, wild caught as captives and not paying their workers. I'm not spreading anything I've heard from Naomi as I've never even talked to her about Serpentarium.
