History

Established in 2004.

A-​List Animals originally opened in October 2004 as D & K Reptile Sales, LLC; a small reptile breeder and wholesaler in owners Derrick and Kylila Burnett’s garage and basement. The first two years were spent mostly on breeding colubrids and small lizards, but after the purchase of their first Ball Python morph in 2005, things really took off! After working 7 years out of their garage, they made the decision to have their own shop. In 2011, they found the perfect building for their reptiles and rodents in their current Floral Avenue residence in Blue Ash, OH. With a new name and a new place, ‘A-​List Animals’ officially opened in October 2011. In their first year, they managed to meet and exceed all of their goals, and the shop is now a full-​time profession for owner Derrick. They owe their success to their customers and strive to keep them as customers for life!
