we have been there the last two weekends. the first weekend Jesus went over and above to let my kids experience different snakes and morphs and was so educational about it all. He was friendly, kind and so cool about it all. Definitely made it a great family day. This weekend we had the pleasure of meeting Cesar and Ellen, they were also so amazing and sweet with the kids. Made the day awesome and were great to chat with. Josh was also very sweet and was available for us to always answer question. Definitely recommend them!!!! read more

Here are pics of our new baby Josh helped us with. See my other review about LLL i forgot to add photos. JOSH YOU WERE AMAZING. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Here is the review i guess i posted to wrong store first.. Josh helped us with our nee member of the family Timber. I was so scared to hold a snake but my son really wanted one. After the passing of my beardie I decided lets go look and see. (I was secretly looking for a new beardie. Lol) Josh was so kind and patient with me. First he had me touch the snake then gently helped me hold him. I think the fear left me a little after seeing how majestic ball pythons are. Son and I continued to walk around and talk about it. Excitement started and well we have a new pied ball python. Son named him Timber. Having lizzards all my life Josh helped us find what was beat for our new baby and helped me with some tricks. He did an amazing job and highly recommend speaking with him. Better yet any of the workers here. I know in the past a lady helped me with my newest lizzard a simple house mediterranean gecko i saved off a glue trap. I always got pinheads and ahe helped me with gnats and telling me about her miniature lizzards. This store is amazing to juat walk through and look at all the different animals. My favorite spot still is the turtle enclosure u can go into and hang with them. Some day ill own one, i just know it. Lol. read more

My son really wanted a lizard for his birthday and petco let us down, so we came to this reptile store and were blown away by how many cool reptiles they had! Evan helped walk us through all the pros and cons of each lizard and helped us narrow down the best lizard for our family. We got the cutest baby gargoyle gecko and he helped me know what kind of soil and feeding dishes it would need and taught me how to mix the food just right two spoon feed it to the baby gecko while he is still young I brought in all the habitat things I had already bought and they were so nice and helped me set it up so that it was disinfected and safe for our cute gecko. They even taught me all about that isopods the soil needed and how to keep the habitat humidity level levels appropriately. I learned so much from Evan and we are very excited to have a new little member of our family.! read more

I recently visited LLL in Oceanside and worked with Evan to purchase a bearded dragon for my daughter. Evan was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us get all the supplies our new beardy would need to thrive in her new home. I was really impressed and grateful for all the information Evan shared on how to take care of our new pet. He went above and beyond for us! Best reptile shop around! read more

I went in to possibly get a tarantula and came in with minimal knowledge on spiders but with some insect/reptile experience. Josh was so incredibly helpful, giving me a couple options of tarantulas for beginners. I bombarded him with questions (as did my friend) and he didn't make me feel stupid but was super insightful and helpful. I ended up walking out with an antilles pinktoe tarantula, and my friend walked out with a bearded gecko. Highly recommend this place for your reptile and if you get Josh, even better! read more

Seeing places that actually genuinely care for their animals always makes me ecstatic. The staff are kind, but don't hover over you like in chain stores. They all seem like folks who have a passion for reptile and bug care. The enclosures are honestly gorgeous, and I frequently go in as if it were a zoo exhibit. My little brother loves to come in with me and look around. As for the animal care, they seem to be flourishing and full of life. Very vibrant colors, lots of them seem incredibly active as well. Lots of food and enrichment options. It is awesome to be able to go into a store and not only purchase the creature you want, but also to be able to get their entire enclosure and all of the things they might need in one place. What I find really cool is that there's a huge spot in the back where you can interact with the tortoises! They're super super friendly and love coming up to you. Very cool place! read more

What an awesome experience I had today at this store. Evan could not have been more helpful. I brought home a gargoyle gecko about a week ago and had been struggling to get the right consistency on my powder gecko food and Evan took the time to show me how he does his and it was extremely helpful. Tonight I made the mixture and put it on a spoon and my gecko took to it immediately and was eating right out of my hand. Thank you for the help Evan!!! read more

Stopped by LLLReptile in Oceanside on Saturday and had a really great experience! The store was clean and had a solid selection of reptiles and supplies.

Today we purchased a spotted leopard gecko who we soon named Kraus. Joshua one of the employees who helped us kindly navigate the store, share his knowledge, and helped us chose the right things for Kraus's enclosure. This was a great experience and we will definitely be back for all of Kraus's food and needs. The store also is very interactive, clean, personable staff, and great opportunities. Some of these include reptile boarding and wellness checks for your reptiles. We will definitely come back and if you need any help definitely look for Joshua! read more

Dropped in for worms and misc items for my kids chameleon. Evan assisted us with what we needed and provided extra useful information about how to care for our chameleon. He also provided info about snakes, as my son is wanting to own one. Evan went above and beyond, exceeding our expectations on our visit. Two days prior my older some and I visited this same store. He was looking for a python, as a first snake. Again, we were greeted and provided with excellent customer service. I wish I could remember the person's name who helped us. We went home with a ball python and a terrarium start kit. Thank you guys for the great experience at your store and the awesome customer service. We will definitely be returning customers and will most definitely be referring you to our friends and family. Thank you read more

I've come to LLLReptile for years and moved away for a while so as soon as I had the chance to come back I did! Jason was a HUGE help in helping us figure out a build for an tokay we had our eyes on and having it fully ready to pick up by 5pm. it's stunning and for a fair price with the work and materials put into it. Go see him if you're ever wondering what plants work best with your setup and animal!!! read more

Hi, my name is InchMan. I'm a Northern Blue Tongue Skink, and I was just adopted by a cool family in Carlsbad. This super rad girl named Kaycee taught my new family everything they needed to know about keeping me happy and healthy in my new home. My new parent is a teenager, and I am her first reptile, so she had a lot to learn about how to take care of me. All of the staff at LLL We're super involved in teaching them everything they need to know. I'm happy and so is my new family. We wanted to say thank you so much to the triple L team for all of their help. read more

Beyond words. Used to think better of this place, now I just want to save every animal in there. I will gladly take that sick snake in and rescue it from these people. Very sad to see this. The lizards in my garden are more plump than these guys. Moldy food, emaciated lizards and snakes. Drinking Water was green with the baby tortoises. Crazy af. - I appreciate the response, I admire you guys take in these animals. Id say bring them back to health before trying to sell them off, and perhaps address the moldy food plates and give them that extra care that they need. read more

I haven't visited in a couple years, since I lost my turtles and tortoises. Upon my return, Evan showed me the new tortoise enclosure and koi pond, all were so beautifully constructed! Thank you, Evan, for introducing me to some of them by name! Excellent customer service!!! read more

It's always a nice experience there. You're very helpful kind and they always tell you exactly what you need. And don't need thank you so much. Thanks to Sean too. He's doing a very good job there. And he helped me out a lot. I really appreciate his advice. read more

"Superior Service". Boy was that an understatement. Not only did they hold a tank for me, they also had a used one available for a little less. After my fiancés heart transplant, he's unable to be hands on with my animals, let alone dirty cages. The employee Jason was so kind to help us out and get it cleaned and everything going above and beyond great service! Thank you! read more

We went and bought a leopard gecko to add to our family yesterday and we had a great experience at LLLReptile! Kaycee was amazing and helped us pick out the last few things we needed for his enclosure. She helped us pick a gecko who would be on the easier side for us beginners. 10/10 would recommend coming here for all your reptile needs:) read more

This is my second time inside and they changed these around. I loved the fact that they had an area where you can go see the Koi fish and tortoise. I hope all LLLs do that. I also like that there is suitable space between the aisles. The animals looked well taken care of, but of course, captivity looks sad. read more

Shawn was very helpful during our visit today. My friend and I walked in to browse and we each walked out with new friend. I got a new frog and one of the pre-made vivariums. Shawn was very informative on the care that my new frog would require and what I would need to do to make sure the vivarium thrives. Overall we had a great experience!! read more

This reptile store is the best and I honestly prefer it over the Escondido location! The staff there is always there to answer any questions or just there to help in general. Every time I go in, Shane remembers my name and my cricket order. Working in the animal field myself, I have never seen such a hard working and dedicated worker such as Shane! The building itself is always stocked and clean. The animals always look very active, happy, and well taken care of. This location is always going to be my go-to for reptile accessories, items, or if I have any questions. read more
