Feeder Frenzy

I’m going to start with the cons first. Be aware that just because they say they open at 11 doesn’t actually mean when you drove 25 minutes to get here that they’ll actually be open. Even once you’ve sat and waited past 11:15. This has happened multiple times. It’s frustrating. Maybe they should open at 12 if they can’t make it by 11? At the same time if you’re aware of this fact and come in the middle of the afternoon instead you’d be fine. I’ve had to go to scales and tails instead because of this and they’re rude and I’d really rather avoid them.
The pros are that they’re super friendly and welcoming and have always been willing to answer my questions. I have a bearded dragon that eats dubia roaches and this is one of the few places to find those. And they are worth the drive! WHEN THEY’RE OPEN.
Come here for your reptile needs! Just be AWARE of the time!

Seems my experiences differ quite a bit from others. I stepped into Feeder Frenzy the other day to look around while my girlfriend was at the video game store next door. I’ve been interested in getting a snake for a while; I grew up catching them in Virginia and just really think they’re cool animals. So I walk in, and spend a few minutes looking closely at the snakes throughout the store.
Salesperson behind the counter is chatting with another employee, and loudly says «90 percent of snake owners are douche bags», and proceeds to explain that they only like snakes because they want to see the snakes kill things.
I was about to walk over to him to ask him some questions about snake ownership. Then I heard that, and felt like an asshole for even thinking it. I’m not interested in killing feeder mice. And now I’m hesitant about even getting into reptile ownership if a salesperson at a highly recommended reptile store is going to be so unprofessional in front of (potential) new customers.

If I could give feeder frenzy more then five stars I would. I absolutely love these guys more then words can even express. We had a house fire in January and these guys took in our beloved bearded dragon and cared for him like their own. They helped during a very stressful and desperate time and I couldn’t pay them enough monetarily or verbally to show gratitude. I’m just so thrilled at their willingness to help us in such a difficult time.
Got our spike back today! Four months later. And he’s healthy, happy, and they gave me some pointers about his new eating habits. I would never shop anywhere else for my reptiles needs or for any future reptiles we may fall in love with.
Super good people doing what they love! And it shows. Thank you so much guys! Forever grateful… and forever a customer!

Probably the best reptile store in town. They have a clean shop and workers are friendly. The store has a good selection of feeders and healthy reptiles. The selection of dry goods is a little on the low side but they have what you will need. I take the 30min drive here to support them passing several of the chain stores along the way that are much closer.

These guys are down to earth, informative and friendly. They like to talk about what they are selling and provide tips on taking care of the animals. They showed me everything I wanted to see out of interest and curiosity. I will continue to buy my feeders and future reptilian pets from them. My husband bought a hissing coach roach which is pretty icky, but he’s fun. We have recommended others here and they had the same feed back.
