    The store has so many unique pets. The staff are very nice and helpful. We always stop by to restock supplies for our turtles and lizards. The prices here are very reasonable. They have many pet toys and accessories as well. Just heads up that if you are not used to pet smells, you might get overwhelmed after 10-15 minutes. If you get busy looking around, you will forget the smell very fast :)

    You can tell this is an older establishment, but they have been serving the community since 1994 and I can't help but to give them props for encouraging RESPONSIBLE REPTILE OWNERSHIP. THEY WILL NOT SELL YOU TURTLES UNLESS SHOWN PROOF OF A PROPER SET UP. I know there are so many places out there that will do anything to make a quick buck, but in having this policy, you can see that they truly do care about the welfare of the animals and their futures. Huge props for that and I was happy to see it. They also had pre-built bioactive enclosures in varying sizes too and some reptiles I don't usually see at shops, such as their Chinese Water Dragon up close (not for sale though, shop pet) and HUGE Leachianus geckos (the shop's breeders). A nice variety of geckos too and they have spiders and feeders. You can also feed their aquatic turtles for $2 and take a look at their tortoise in shop. I'm happy it's not just a shop of only beardies and leopard geckos (though I love them too). Fun short stop to take a look at some cold blooded cuties.

    Reptile Island is AMAZING! There is a wide selection of reptiles & supplies and it's very well organized. Mario was very helpful when we purchased a tortoise today! He was so knowledgeable, kind, and made the process so easy. Would definitely recommend you come here for a helpful staff and great selection! :)

    Look at this poor frog. It's about to die from lack of proper husbandry

    Terrible animal keepers. I tried to tell an employee that they weren't keeping their poison dart frogs correctly, his response was "that's a comment for my manager". PDF basic needs are not being met and I'm sure it is the same with other animals at their store. Horrible. They've lost any potential business from me. If I could give a negative star review I would.

    I told my partner I would take her to the zoo. I showed her the lizard safari, the turtle lagoon, and the maggot pond. All jokes aside, good place to get feeder mice and reptile supplies. Nice people . Good collection of snakes and lizards here.

    I'm not from the area but whenever I'm near OC I always make a quick stop to make purchases for my snakes and Tarantulas. They have reasonable prices and a large variety of reptile decor, reptiles, feeders, and critters. The staff are always amazing! Very friendly and kind. I bought a baby black brazilian tarantula from them about a year ago and it has grown so much!

    UPDATE: they were able to get my original review taken off, so let me edit it so it's appropriate so it doesn't get deleted and so people can see the vile abuse they subject their animals to. This place is disgusting. The enclosures are always filthy. Even after you watch an employee "clean" an enclosure, it's still filthy. Their turtles in their turtle pond are so over crowded and under cared for that they kill eachother. I've seen many headless turtles in that pond. They have a water monitor that is kept in an enclosure the same size as it. No lighting. No room to even turn around. When asked why they don't have at least a light inside I was told "because he keeps breaking it, so why keep putting new ones in there?" Excuse me, what?? Then there's the giant python in a tank that has no protection over the bulbs that has multiple burn marks all over its body. THIS IS ABUSE. I now drive 30 minutes to a different reptile store because I could no longer in good conscience support this filthy animal abusing establishment.

    Today we visited Reptile Island and we loved seeing all of the amazing animals they had inside. When you enter there are lots of water turtles swimming in little pools that you can feed! There is also a 20 year old turtle in a big pin in the middle of the store. The animals for sale are kept in nice cages and the staff is always walking around answering questions. Definitely recommend for geckos, snakes and other supplies.

    This is by far the best feed store to buy one of the best bird seeds for your pet birds or breeding…read moreflock. The selection of other foods is just something you wouldn't find anywhere else. The staff is always friendly and very knowledgeable when asked anything about birds. The birds they sale are all very healthy and priced quite fairly. I think some are bought from other breeders and some they breed themselves. I had bought a beautiful female young princess of Whales quite some time ago and I was extremely surprised by the good price. Especially since it was shortly after COVID when many birds weren't either available or many so overpriced. The only issue I have, I live in North Hollywood and it is always quite a trip for me to drive all the way to Anaheim. But it is worth the trip to get high quality bird food for my small flock.

    Before reading any further, please take this review with a grain of salt:…read more This has been my family go to place for bird supplies since I was small, and for as long I can remember. My parents love birds a lot, from my first cockatiel to parakeets because of this bird farm. I had fond memories of my family looking around the aviary, just before purchase the stuff they need. This place has never been an issue, until recently. I wouldn't say that the new employees are an issue, in fact, some of the employees have been friendly and alright, so far. My issue is actually with the seniors(or a specific few), or the family members of the establishment. I won't say who, but they always give off a condescending attitude, seems very agitated and annoyed whenever I wanted to purchase either 25lbs or even 50lbs of just parakeet food. Additionally, I don't want to give a benefit of a doubt of a place that has been reliable to me and my family, but I feel that whenever I drop by to get the supplies I need-and I don't know why- I always feel uneasy whenever I pass by the halls. Maybe it's just my eyes wanting to look busy, but I pick up little bits of details of the area in some of the rooms that adds my uneasiness; but I guess that gives me some ideas what type of family, and possibly, the business that the bird farm believes. At this point, I may consider looking at different places not just because of some senior giving a sour look, but also looking at the reviews and personally putting some piece together as to why the place I once enjoy going, feels so uneasy.

In the past, I've had to cancel an appointment due to an emergency and was NEVER told it was an issue. Last week, I called to book Riley's appointment and everything seemed perfectly fine. Today, when I called to confirm, I was told there was no appointment in the system. Then the manager got on the phone and, in a very rude manner, explained that because of my past cancellation, they would now require my credit card information before booking an appointment. The way the conversation was handled made me feel like they didn't trust me, which was honestly shocking after being a loyal customer for so many years. Emergencies happen, and I would have appreciated being treated with more understanding and respect. Because of how poorly this situation was handled, I will never be bringing Riley here again. (In response to the owner's reply, my family and I have been loyal customers of Animalia for many years, and Riley is now 9 years old. Over nearly a decade of bringing her there, there have only been a few cancellations, mostly due to emergencies or unavoidable situations. To portray four cancellations over that amount of time as excessive is completely unfair. What disappointed me most was not the policy itself, but the way I was spoken to after years of loyalty and support. At no point was I ever told cancellations had become an issue, yet I was suddenly treated as though I was an untrustworthy customer. Requesting a card on file is your right as a business. However, the condescending and passive-aggressive tone used toward a long-time customer was unnecessary and disrespectful. Respect goes both ways, and this could have been handled professionally from the start. Unfortunately, after this experience, I no longer feel comfortable bringing Riley back.)

I went out of my way on Saturday to come here because I needed two large enclosures for my snakes. I had called Thursday to confirm the cages they had and arranged for a truck to come with me so I can load up the enclosures and take them home. This was a huge effort and orchestrated thing to make happen, I needed cages ASAP. I showed up right at opening and was greeted by the girl working the counter. (This review is not about her AT ALL she was sweet and helpful - but the guy she was working with) They were blasting some super heavy death metal when we walked in, at first I laughed like, wow... ok, weird vibe... but sure. But after five minutes of it I couldn't even think straight and totally got me stressed out. I told the girl, hey - this music is like, too much. Can you guys turn it down? She did, no problem - totally understood. However, the dude she was working with cranks it right back up after a few minutes. I'm trying to pick out substrate and light fixtures/timers, etc that I need and I'm getting a brain bleed from the music. It was obvious at that point that the kid didn't care or want me there. So I left. Was about to drop at least 1k on two cages and setup stuff I needed - but felt like my money wasn't wanted there. Ended up going to Prehistoric Pets, got all the cage accessories I needed and was such a chiller vibe/experience. I am honestly glad I didn't go with the enclosures here, I found some really nice PVC enclosures online and ordered those. Just figured the owner might want to know that they're running money out of the business by behaving that way. Since he's not there and unavailable to contact, maybe he doesn't know about this behavior. Definitely won't be back.
