Reptile enthusiasts or anyone looking into getting reptiles, look no further. This is the place to come to. Lucas and staff are very knowledgeable of reptiles. Their prices are fair from the reptiles themselves to cages and feeders like mice, crickets, worms etc. Always willing to help and offer good advice. I come there often for feeders for my snake and geckos.
Even though it's called La Habra PETS this place is definitely a reptile focused shop (and I guess Funko pops too since they have a corner selling those as well). Yes, as some other reviews have stated here, this location is a bit dusty and ages, but I feel like that adds to the charm and the fact that you can tell that it's a community staple. There are lots of pictures of young children, who I am sure are all adults now, with some of their reptiles, artwork for sale/on display, and lots of books and other affects that would indicate that the owners/shop's history is deeply dedicated to herpetology. The workers there were attentive and helpful and there are lots of reptiles here that I haven't seen elsewhere, such as the pink soft shell turtle that they have in the front. They have a slew of geckos, tortoises, and bearded dragons (of all ages and sizes), as well as iguanas and tegus. Lots of feeders available too.
I brought my family here from Rancho Santa Margarita because we needed some feeders for our BD and wanted to check them out. That's a 45 minute drive. I saw the 4 star rating and good pictures from Yelpers, so we thought we would love this place. We were so wrong. This place must be reviewed and frequented by people who don't know any better. The place was so dusty, disorganized, with thick dust everywhere. This place is filthy. When I say filthy, I mean disgusting. The floor looked like it hadn't been swept or mopped in what looked like forever. The counters were just as dirty covered with who knows what. If you look up in the aisles you'll see thick strands of cobwebs everywhere. We literally thought to ourselves that there had to be some large resident spiders in the store just roaming around. The glass tanks with reptiles on the left were so dirty and splattered, that it looked gross and neglected. All the enclosures looked like there was no cleaning or maintaining them. I wish I took photos of those but I didn't even think of taking pics until I was almost out of there. There was a ton of bearded dragons there that were so thin and sickly looking, as well as black bearding from the stress. The geckos were also emaciated. Their tails are supposed to be plump but it was much smaller than they should be. The poor reptiles were in enclosures that had nothing to climb or hide in. The feeder rats/mice were in the back for all to see. They're overcrowded, fighting each other, looking sickly. It was sad. I've never been to a reptile store that had live feeder rodents out in the open for everyone to see. From our experience they're usually under the counter or hidden in the back away from everyone's eyes. I asked multiple questions and it was met with an "I have no idea" look on the face. I asked what the names of a couple specific BDs were but he had absolutely no clue. He answered with "I don't know the names of the breeds. We just breed them." That doesn't sound like a good responsible breeder that cares about the animals at all. I don't understand how this place has 4 stars. I really don't. I can't support a place that doesn't take good care of their animals from feeders to actual pets. I love to support small businesses but I can't come back here until they clean this place up and treat the animals better. I Really hope they do that soon because this place was absolutely depressing as a reptile owner/animal lover. Please PLEASE do your homework before buying animals here.
The staff at La Habra Pets was awesome. My daughter had wanted a snake for some time. They allowed her to hold several snakes and pick which one she wanted. They are extremely knowledgeable about snakes and all other reptiles. They set us up with everything we needed such as an enclosure, lighting system, water bowl and feeding instructions. They have all the items needed for your reptile. It was so easy. Thanks!
5/5! Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable (: we recently lost our corn snake from an irresponsible breeder, but La Habra Pets had some of the healthiest looking babies I've seen! Fair prices, and a huge variety of other critters if you're looking for reptiles. Our little guy has been doing great, no issues with feeding him frozen (they feed them live pinkies). Everything you need for your reptiles, tanks, treated branches, bedding, heat sources, feeders, etc. The drive out from riverside was definitely worth it!
Don't let this place (or the bad reviews) fool you! It may not be the corporate pet store you're used to but this place has something those pet companies dont - (aside from a huge selection of reptiles) - knowledgeable and caring staff. I've come here a few times throughout the years just to browse. When I got serious about owning a reptile, I came in to look and the owner (?), Chin, answered all my questions and gave advice even though I wasnt ready to purchase yet. Most pet stores dont know much about their animals if it isnt on a pamphlet for them to hand you. I looked around some local places but decided to make my purchases here. I'm glad I did, I've learned a lot from La Habra Pets and any time I've had any problems with my pet, Chin and his staff are always helpful and friendly. We come here instead of the closer "Pet Co.'s" for the interesting selection of animals, the customer service, and to check out whats new in the store. Feigning death beetles, Jackson Chameleons, Centipedes, I've seen them all here! We've even seen other customers bringing in their exotic pets. Everyone who works here genuinely treats their customers and their pets like friends. I'll definitely be back to buy a snake when I get the courage to own a snake ^-^ Meanwhile, see you at the store when its time to refill the crickets!

This will forever be my favorite reptile shop! I remember the first time I entered the store, it was with a friend who needed to get feeder crickets for one of their reptiles. I was taken aback by their huge selection of reptiles, and was even more impressed by how they were treated by the staff. I moved a couple of years ago, so unfortunately I don't get to visit here too often anymore. But this reptile shop is where I got my first bearded dragon, Mushu, four years ago. He was the cutest little dragon ever, and I remember taking him home in a small plastic container with ventilation holes because he was so little (his body minus his tail was the size of my pinky finger). The staff recommended a tank for him to grow into and what size I should upgrade to when we starts getting bigger. They also helped me out with tank lighting/heating, substrate for the tank bedding, food (crickets) and driftwood for him to lay on. I returned every 1-2 weeks to get him crickets because they had the best deals. 20 for $1.00 was an absolute steal, so I got a cricket keeper and would have them live in there until I needed to buy more for my bearded dragon. This is a fantastic little reptile shop and highly recommended to anyone looking to start a reptile hobby or continue it. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff, healthy animals, and reasonable prices! read more

Went there to look at the reptiles and ended up buying 2 rats as pets and the employees were real nice and I didn't get his name but he had glasses and longish hair he gave me advice on how to take care of the rats read more
My daughter and I always come here to get feeder crickets for her chameleon. A great price at $2.81 for 50, any size. Fast and friendly help, and always seems bustling on the weekends. The staff here seems very knowledgeable and have always been great about answering any questions we have. Fun to walk around and check out the reptiles. read more
I am writing this solely on the grooming side of La Habra pets. Anna, the groomer, does a fantastic job on your pet. I personally have been taking my Maltese, for 6 years, to her to be groomed and shave down in the summer. Prior to this Maltese, she had been grooming my girl Maltese as well. She truly loves animals. Today, I took my dog in for just a bath. What a great job she did! Thank you Anna! read more

This local reptile specialty store has been in business for 25 years. They carry a large variety of reptiles. I came in to browse and look at these unique creatures close up. I had no intentions of taking one of them home, just wanted to admire their prehistoric beauty. Most of them are born and bred here in the store. They have large and small lizards, snakes, chameleons, geckos, tarantulas and much more. I got a real kick out of watching a bearded dragon. I think he liked me.They stock fresh food (crickets & mice), cages and linear tube bulbs that are essential for reptiles. Bird wing clipping, nail cutting & trimming for lizards and turtles are also available. For $2 they will manually check to see if your reptile is a male or female. It's fun, educational, an all around great place to visit. You don't see many stores like this around anymore. I would highly recommend this store to anyone looking for a reptile. read more

All I can figure is that the good reviews here are written by people who are not knowledgeable about reptiles. That's the only explanation, because while this store has a great "selection," we should remember that the items being sold here are living creatures, not grocery store items or accessories. The enclosures are absolutely atrocious. The person responsible for housing gorgeous monitors in tanks that lack sufficient space, humidity, temperature gradient, and substrate should be ashamed. One reason so many reptiles, including various monitor lizards, die prematurely in captivity is because inexperienced owners purchase them from shops like this and trust that the enclosures their pets are being housed in at the shop are appropriate to recreate. These are intelligent, active lizards who want to dig, burrow, climb, swim and explore, and here they are left with barely enough space to turn around, on a plain, hard surface sprinkled with some kind of pellets. I was excited to visit this place based on the reviews but I left in extreme disappointment and sadness for the animals that reside there. read more

Came home to notice all the roaches were dead. I called asking about it they basically told me come back today if not they won't do anything. I was told that it was 90° outside(more like 75-80). They died on your way home your car was to hot. I had ac on in my car went straight home. They wouldn't help, take your money someplace else to people who actually care. read more

Have amazing selections of pythons and boas. They also excel in giant monitors. Many other animals. Great staff. Lack of colubrids( my favorites). Need air conditioning to get rid of heat from cages. Smelt worse than other reptile stores read more
