I also enjoyed looking at the different reptiles they have there like tortoises, lizards, geckos. Some are exotic and albino. We checked out and got some hornworms too. Apparently there's a 6:30 pm discount too so if you want to save some money, that's a great time to go.

    I've been coming to Gecko World since 2021 when I started breeding tarantulas. I was looking for an…read moreexotic shop that was interested in working with a local breeder like myself... and Sean has been an absolute pleasure to work with since! It feels really amazing when I come in and see how well the slings I've dropped off are kept and grow. A lot of stores prioritize the spider being visible over the spider's needs, but when you look around the shop, it's obvious Gecko World puts the welfare of the animals first. I don't even keep feeder colonies at home anymore - not when Gecko World is so close and has all the feeders I need to feed my spider horde. If you ever get the chance to peak into the back room, all of the feeders - from mice and rats, to superworms and dubia roaches - they are all kept and fed immaculately. Marcos is also super knowledgable, especially when it comes to cresties, and has been around. I can't say enough good things about Sean and the crew at Gecko World, and I feel super lucky to have such an awesome pet shop near me! Pictured: My female Harpactira pulchripes (Golden Blue Leg Baboon) snacking on Gecko World's mature male. It's okay, though, he got the job done first and his offspring are now available at Gecko World!

    I was looking for a gift for a cat and dog lover when my neighbor recommended Tomlinson's,…read morespecifically this location near Target. I had never been to a Tomlinson's before--honestly, I had never even heard of it since they don't have any in California. I learned during my visit that there are 18 locations in Austin, and WOW, what an amazing store! The customer service here is on another level--it honestly felt like the hospitality of a high-end hotel. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, even opening the door for customers. They truly go out of their way to help, and I'm not exaggerating! I believe the employee who assisted me was Vanessa, and she was fantastic. She helped me pick out the perfect gifts, especially for the cat-related items since I don't have a cat myself. I was shopping for an 8-year-old who has two cats, so I wanted the best toys. I ended up choosing a faux rabbit foot toy with feathers for self-play, a classic "Lambie" plush, and a handmade hemp catnip mouse with a long tail for interactive play. I even learned a lot about catnip, which I had heard of before but didn't actually know much about--this staff is truly knowledgeable! I also brought my dog with me, and not only did he have a blast playing with other dogs, but the store also gave him free treats to try. They even sent me home with some freeze-dried sample treats, which was such a nice touch. The selection of dog toys here is incredible--I'd honestly be hesitant to bring a child in because the toys are so high-quality, they could pass for children's toys! I ended up getting an amazing eco-friendly crocodile toy made entirely of recycled materials. Its legs are ropes for tug-of-war, and its hollow body holds a replaceable water bottle that creates that satisfying crunching sound dogs love. Once the bottle is chewed up, you can swap it out for a new one--such a smart design! This store has everything--leashes, collars, treats, and a huge variety of toys for both tiny and giant dogs. They also had the cutest little plush toys shaped like root vegetables with adorable faces--absolutely melted my heart! Prices were super affordable, too. Honestly, after seeing what they offer, I don't see the point in ordering pet supplies on Amazon anymore. Stores like this deserve our support, and it's a place my dog genuinely enjoys visiting. I was also looking for travel-sized dog food for a trip and found some perfect 3.5 oz pouches for only $2, which I could take in my carry-on. While browsing, I noticed a lot of repeat customers stopping in just to grab their favorite treats from a self-serve treat station, kind of like those bulk snack bins at Sprouts or Whole Foods. Next time, I'll have to check it out for my dog! Another thing I need to ask about is their nail trimming service, which my neighbor mentioned. While I was there, I even saw the staff helping deliver an adopted puppy to its new home--such a sweet moment! And as I was checking out, I learned they offer same-day delivery, which is so convenient. I haven't placed an order yet, but it's good to know that option exists. Overall, this was such a fun and memorable shopping experience. I'll definitely be coming back and getting all my pet supplies here from now on!

When they have cats for adoption they are always well taken care of and so adorable. I only come here for my cats things. Weruva cat food is amazing.
