Strickly Reptiles

I always stop by since im in the area. Well this place is definitely CLEAN ! That’s a big problem with, some pet shops now and days. All the animals always have fresh waters and fresh food. They definitely take care of there animals.
BUT they are SUPER over priced compared to other reptile stores. They charge 8.99 for 100 superworms I can get that for 2 $ by my house. I belive they charge 1.39 for 20 crickets. Again I can get 50 for 2 $ by my house .
If u don’t care about prices then of course it’s fine but I believe it’s too over priced. Even on the reptiles. .
Staff is friendly but could easily be mistaken for rude.. at the end of the day this is a reptile store and I’m am rating based of the care of the reptiles 4 stars. The last star I did not do because of how over priced they are!

The employee was very knowledgeable and friendly. He helped identify my new family members. Showed me things to keep them safe and healthy. Very good experience. Highly recommendable.

Been coming here for years and love it. I even moved across town but still commute to come here… good prices and quality animals
**Remember they may have slightly higher prices bc they are a small business and don’t get the same prices as the big competitors… but wouldn’t you rather see a small business thrive than give more money to a large corporation?!

Great place, guy with the pony tail was very knowledgeable. He was able to answer all of my dumb questions, being that I had never owned a herptile before (well except when I was small I had a tiny turtle but I didn’t know what I was doing then either). I was able to find my precious corn snake Ginger and all of my supplies there to get me started. After having her for about 5 months now I have realized I can get supplies a little cheaper elsewhere but that won’t stop me from coming in because I had a great experience there and staff is very helpful.

Been going here for almost 20 years off and on they always had a wide selection but last few years its just the normal mix of corn snakes couple water turtles couple tortises couple spiders etc nothing that realy stands out like in years past, so i go in afew weeks ago buy a pacman frog for 39.99 then on the way home stopped by petsmart and looked at their animals and they had the same frog but bigger for 15 bucks!!! Talk about price gouging !!!

Not too bad. I came in for phoenix worms and though a few of the containers weren’t in great condition, I managed to find a few that were passable.
Ponytail guy was mostly polite and a bit… quirky? But not especially offensive or rude. He spoke quickly and had a snarky lilt to his tone, which I think people COULD find rude. But he was pretty all right when I went in.
I prefer coming here over waiting for USPS to lose my worms in the heat.

I visited this store after moving to town and needing crickets to feed pets. I noticed the store while passing by on other errands, so when I needed crickets I figured it was a for sure place to go… As well as I thought if it is a reptile store they might have a lot of cool stuff for reptiles including tanks. When I went in a guy with a pony tail told me that they were out of crickets, and crickets are garbage food to feed your pets… I decided to buy a bigger tank and bowls for my frogs and some worms that the guy swore were good food for $ 10. About 20 mins or less later, after inspecting the quality and craftsmanship of the tank I decided I wanted a better one with a locking lid (this one just had a plastic peg that sat in a hole) like the small one I have already, and that I wanted to continue feeding crickets since and that is what I have knowledge about and I am set up for. I immediately went back in and told him that I wanted to return the items because I changed my mind on them. He’s very quickly informed me that he would give me store credit only for my $ 80 purchase. I asked why he did not tell me the stores policy of no return when I purchased the items, and he responded by telling me that he does not tell all of his customers the return policy… He pointed out that the no refund policy is on the side of the register (in very small print at the bottom of a sign about electrical warranty), this tells me that he must receive requests for returns quite often and could not stay open without, refusing to give people their money back that are unsatisfied. There is no reason to hold someones money on unused items, If you cant keep the doors open by doing honest business, close your store. All of the positive reviews about this place must be from his friends.

I called in asked a million annoying first time snake owner questions, and the guy that answered was awesome! We just got a corn snake, and these guys will be my new go to place. Thanks guys!

If I could give this place a half star I would. Sorry ass place. Bought was worms for over $ 5 and there was one active and the others died after a day. $ 80 leopard geckos $ 15 next door at petco.

This place in under new ownership for the better!!! Jeff is doing a great job at making it better then before.

Went here few times to get good for my boa. He sells «hoppers» for $ 2.50!!! The man is very knowledgable about reptiles but really really rude. If your buying from him, he’ll be here nice but if him for a tip or something he will literally walk the other way. Don’t get food for your reptile from him! GO TO ELIOTS FOR PETS off Brockton in riverside. A hopper is 99 cents! Never went back since to get food there.

This place is horrible. I visited strictly reptiles very recently and I am concerned for the well being of the animals. Not only did the bearded dragons not have proper lighting but in one of the cages there laid a poor bearded dragon getting ready to die! Absolutely horrible. None of the bearded dragons looked healthy. They were being fed romaine lettuce (not a good feeder). I asked to see a dragon for my daughter because we were considering one and the worker (guy with a pony tail) grabbed this lifeless bearded dragon, who wasn’t alert, in fact he didn’t even move or lift his poor head. I could not believe what I saw in this store. I would never buy reptiles from this place and do not recommend them at all.

I wish there was anther choice in the area. The older pony tail owner? Is just an ass. Very condescending and rude each and every time I go in. The younger guy is super friendly and very knowledgable as well. On the up side the store is very clean and very well kept. I unfortuently this is the only place close by that sells feeders. Which is why I started breeding my own so my visits are few and far in between. It sucks because I like supporting local business.

Great store. The sales guy is knowledgeable and friendly. This place smells much better than many reptile stores.

I’ve gone to Strickly for years for equipment, pets, food, pretty much everything. The store is in top shape all the time and is very clean and filled with healthy, wonderful reptiles. Everyone behind the counter is very knowledgable and can answer any question about what you’re looking at.

This place smelled like a worm farm that had been set out in the IE sun for too long. Topping it off was the desperate look on all the reptiles’ faces that seemed as if they lived in some Soviet gulag, which is ironical since – being reptiles – they have no complex emotional neocortices.
The point is the this place is sad.

I used to buy my lizards supplies here. The guy in his 20’s is nice and knowledgable. The owner is rude and thinks he knows everything. I don’t know how he stays in business because he has the worst customer service. If it only happened once I would reconsider but it happened every time he waited on me.

My husband and I went here a few months back to buy our Beardie and were impressed with the cleanliness and how well the reptiles were cared for. Kevin really knows his stuff. Our Beardie (Nazgûl) is the most amazing pet! If we ever want to buy a girlfriend for him we will definitely be back to him! We highly recommend this place if you’re a serious buyer!

The guys here are great and always have a supply of rats when i need them!

lol i have never been here but found this place on here… i was having a problem with my 4 year old leopard gecko Mz. Dotz. Her shed was stuck on one of her feet because of the heatwave this week she stood in her water dish to cool herself … when she got out it hardened like a cast … my husband && i tried to pull it off with a tweezer but we couldnt get it. The gentleman@strickly reptiles who appeared very knowledgeable offered a solution to try&&was very nice about it cant wait to go&& check it out in person ;)
