Carol’s Critters

Carol’a Critters is a cool place. I work at petsmart so I go there for my dogs food because I get an employee discount and petsmart just has higher quality dog and cat food, but for my snake, I always go to Carol’s. PetsMart won’t sell live feeder mice, and I understand why, but my California king snake is stubborn and will only eat live mice, so I have to go to Carol’s. They have hedgehogs and ferrets too, which my PetsMart doesn’t have, BUT they sell purebred puppies which I think is immoral. There are too many homeless dogs out there, and PetsMart won’t sell dogs or cats, they only have adoptions from shelters, which is the more humane thing to do. Carol’s employees are really nice and helpful though!

As always, your team does a fantastic job. He is always so excited to see them and practically run out the door with them. It’s a great comfort knowing that he is happy!

While yes, their staff is very nice and helpful, unfortunately their knowledge is very outdated. I came home with a ball python from them a month ago and it is HORRIBLY aggressive (and balls rarely ever are), it has mites which can be life threatening to a snake and is a result of poor loving conditions, and it also has pneumonia and respiratory problems — another result of unsanitary living conditions. Yes they have pretty and exotic animals but SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. It has been very stressful and expensive to get these problems taken care of. Also, their feeder mice are about $ 1.50 and if you were to buy a mouse from them it’s way more expensive than $ 1.50. Why? Because they cram all those feeder mice together for them to get infections and then infect the snakes. This place is dirty and is causing much stress on all their animals.

The last pet store in Tallahassee. It has a good selection of fish, but needs more of a selection of pure bred dogs and less mutts… I mean «designer» dogs.

Carol’s Critters is a great neighborhood pet shop. They have a lot of different fish and reptiles to choose from, as well as bunnies, rodents, and puppies. The employees are knowledgeable and friendly, and will let you play with the pups if you ask.

If you have fish, reptiles, or amphibians or you want one, Carol’s is the place to go. They’ve got pretty much everything you need in that respect and decently priced. I know they have cat, dog, and bird supplies too but not in the quantity or variety that one of the bigger pet stores will have. I always go to Carol’s when I need something for my fire-​bellied toads.
