Ron’s Reptiles

We purchased a Bearded Dragon for our daughter today. Absolutely phenomenal service! They had the local chain stores sale price beat… and the animals are all bred and hatched on site. We’ve made a handful of trips to the store and are always given the time and information needed to add a new family member properly.
Highly recommended!

This place is awesome. Ron and Donna are really friendly and very helpful. They have an amazing selection of reptiles to look at. My kids love going with me to Ron’s Reptiles when its time to pick up some rodents for my snakes. I made a mistake one time and showed up when they were closed and they still helped me out. Really lucky to have Ron’s Reptiles in Chico.

When my son turned six years old, I told him he could get a baby snake. I searched around town and found limited options for snakes and reptiles. One of the employees at a local fish store told me about Ron’s reptiles which is a short drive out-​of-​town. I decided to go for it and took my son up to his place which is only 5 miles up Cohasset. I was so glad I visited his place. He has better snakes and reptiles than anyone in town. He has a huge selection. He gives you pointers, tips and training on all of his snakes. My son ended up buying a very beautiful baby snake and it was his first purchase as a kid. Needless to say the experience was great… if I ever have any questions I call up Ron directly and he is always happy to answer them.

I bought my first reptile from them ten years ago. A red brick corn snake. I still have him. I love my snake, and Ron has always been extremely helpful whenever I have had questions. I even referred several friends to them, and they gave me discounts on feeder mice because of that.
Several years ago I worked at the local humane society. Ron helped with any questions we had on the many reptiles that came to the shelter. One rainy day I found a box outside of the shelter gate. Unfortunately people would often drop defenseless animals at the gate and leave them. On this exceptionally cold day, I looked in the box and found an adult bearded dragon. A desert lizard that was freezing. The lizard was missing a foot and half of her tail (apparently old injuries). I drove her to Ron’s immediately. He told me it was a female, helped me set her up, evaluated her old injuries and warmed her safely for me.
I took her home to nurse her back to health. Ron and Donna were with me every step of the way. Unfortunately bearded dragons are able to eat so many different things, and since we had no history on her, we had no idea what she was used to eating. Over a span of weeks I was trying every type of food she might eat. One fateful day I took her to Ron’s. I was frustrated that she wasn’t eating hardly anything I was offering. Donna was used to this with my new lizard friend by now, so she brought out more foods to try. We FINALLY discovered king worms were her thing. I was so thankful to them. They didn’t do this for money because I didn’t buy anything from them, they gave me the food items we kept trying. They just wanted to help my new friend. Unfortunately she passed away a few years later. Ron believed she was relatively old when I found her. They helped me give her a happy few more years.

Very nice people! Always helpful and knowledgable, and their prices are the same and sometimes less than other pet stores in town. I bought my beardie here and she is wonderful. These people truly go above and beyond to help, and will throw in extras at no charge to help you get started. My only suggestion is to call before heading down here, because it’s a long drive and sometimes they have to close early for personal reasons, since they run their business out of their home.

Absolutely an amazing experience my kids and I will never forget! Ron and his family are awesome hosts and true animal lovers… we saw and held reptiles from all over the world and learned so much– all without leaving our hometown– thank you Ron for the fun and knowledge!

Ron and Donna are amazing and kinda people! They know their stuff and they are always there for advice. They have been extremely helpful in multiple situations with multiple different types of reptiles. The selection of reptiles is fantastic! You can wander around for a while just looking at it all. The feeder rats and mice they offer are also very affordable. Really nice people.

Great selection of snakes. I liked the variety of King Snakes. They also do have lizards & frogs. I would call first to ask if you’re looking for a particular reptile. The owners are very nice and knowledgeable. I would recommend this place to anyone who really likes snakes. I will be back again.

Had a wonderful time at the reptile place! Ron and Donna are do awesome they have lots if animals and knowledge I love the fact Ron takes the time with kids and enjoys teaching them all he knows this is by far the best reptile shop hands down locally owned and operated.

Our snake was not eating well and we went to Ron who saw immediately it was dehydrated and kept it for a few days until it was «good as new»! It was great to see all the reptiles at his location and we were so impressed by their service. Definitely have a repeat customer for food, supplies & reptiles with us!

I bought an Arizona Mountain Kingsnake from Ron and his wife Donna at the Pomona Reptile Supershow today and thought the least I could do was write them a review thank you so much I have her home in a terrarium with a heat lamp and fresh water and bedding. I look forward to seeing them at the next show they were very friendly and superb.

My boyfriend and I bought a Dumeril boa from them at a reptile convention in Pasadena in November of 2011. She was so beautiful and sweet and docile. When we brought her home she refused to eat. We emailed them and they told us that all of their snakes were eating well (had to be a lie) and our housing had to be incorrect. We took her to a vet and he told us she was really sick and had fluid in her tissues which could be indicative of liver, heart or kidney problems. She passed away last week not even a year old :-(. She was my favorite snake. Plain and simple they sold us a sick snake and would not own up to it. Their prices are also ridiculous and they are NOT that friendly.

we love ron’s reptiles. they’re friendly and helpful, and very knowledgeable. they have such a wide variety of reptiles, and everything you need to get them started. every time we go in to pick up food for our corns we end up spending an hour or so just looking at all their animals. don’t be put off when you get there and i looks like someone’s home, it is but it’s also a shop. the only reason i’m not giving it 5 stars is because their website could use some work.

This family owned reptile shop ran by Ron and his wife Donna, has a variety of reptiles, all of which are very friendly, and clean. The prices at rons are very fair. Ron and his wife are also very friendly and always offer a helping hand. They are proud of what they do, and have every right to do so.
