Reptropolis

Amazing! Pete is always there when I need help with something. Super nice and patient with my kids… and me. Lol.
I love the new location in capo beach!!!
Prices are great on everything!!! All reptile needs in one great place! Run by people who care!

A locally run reptile store that sells pets as well as supplies and live food. I am a loyal customer who buys crickets and worms here for my chameleons weekly and I have to say price wise, this is definitely the best deal. PetSmart and Petco are about 30 — 50% more expensive for crickets! And at Reptropolis they give you a little more than what you ask, and don’t try to short you any crickets like they do at Petsmart a lot. But it’s more than just saving money, I enjoy supporting the business of the couple who runs the store. They are very helpful and knowledgeable about pretty much any reptile you throw their way. Their new location in Dana Point is much more spacious so they will have a wider selection of pets to sell. I always enjoying watching their new babies grow and develop every time I come in.
If you have reptiles and need live food, definitely support Reptropolis! We need more places like this.

Great friendly staff that is helpful and knowledgeable. For anything reptile, this is the place. They set us up with a great gecko and all the supplies we needed to care for him…

I absolutely love this store! I don’t go anywhere else because they are so knowledgeable and helpful whenever I have questions. When I told them my Sulcata is going through a ton of food now that he’s going through his second big growth spurt they offered to put a bulk order of Mazuri tortoise feed in for me the next time they do their big order! You won’t get the customer service or information they provide from any average pet store. While I was there checking out all the snakes I would LOVE to own, the guy was on the phone with a concerned gecko owner listening to her pet’s symptoms and trying to figure out how he could help her in the best way possible. They care and that is what I love most about this place. If you want the best for your reptile, don’t go anywhere else because you won’t find anyone better!

If you have any type of bug, snake, lizard, arachnid or other reptile like creature this is the place to go! I’ve been shopping here for only a few years but I will not go anywhere else. I have a huge soft spot for reptiles and I hate seeing them in the major pet stores because nobody properly takes care of them. Here they are very well taken care of. The owner is a way awesome guy who loves his job which is cool to see.
There is every kind of creature in the shop as well as every kind of food item. I come here for mice for my snakes and cockroaches and crickets for my Pacman frogs. Can’t recommend this place enough for your reptile needs. I actually live on the back end of Dana Point and I go out of my way past 6 different pet stores to come here! Customer for life.

Happy I stopped by, the owner is a reptile lover and all the animals are healthy. They sell healthy rodents as well.

The owners here rock! I always come here for my crickets, and the store is well kept and there’s a nice variety of reptiles for purchase. They have a large iguana that walks around and hangs out which is pretty cool. Crickets are cheap and healthy looking.

Great couple that works here, friendly and knowledgeable. I get mice here all the time for my snake, fair prices and always answer all of my reptile questions.
Only reason I don’t give them 5 out of 5 is because its a small shop with not that many reptile supplies

Excellent supplies, knowledgable and helpful owners! I love showing off this store when friends come to town. I’m happy to get all our supplies here to support this local store!

Well maintained store with a lot of cool animals. Had been here years ago when it was in another center and is slightly smaller now. quality is good and they didnt seem to mind our «window shopping». My fav — the teeny tiny chameleons. Adorable! Also we had some questions about our turtle and they were very nice about answering them. If in the area definately go in!

Fun place with a good selection of reptiles. The owners are very friendly, helpful, and informative!

Avoid this store like the plague!! Absolutely horrible customer service. I am a long time reptile owner. I bred bearded dragons and even sold them to the store years ago. But based upon my most recent experience I am disgusted. We visited the store a week ago and purchased a cage and heat lamp with the intention of buying a couple Anoles for our 3 and 6 year old. I explained to the lady that was assisting us that we were long time reptile owners and that we may have a heat lamp at home. I told her that if I ended up having one I would return it when I came to gets the lizards with my boys. Not once did she mention that there was a no return policy. So I return home with our cage and went to install the lamp. The bulb we were sold was too long for the lamp. My wife returned to the store today and tried to return the heat lamp and bulb and was told no returns are allowed. She tried to explain to him the situation and he just became rude and said that’s our policy there is nothing I can do for you. So I proceeded to call and explain the entire thing. Not only was he rude but he hung up the phone on me. They will no longer be getting any of my business or referals.

I like the old store better, bigger and more animals, but still I’m so glad they are in town. Got some great advice for our tadpoles we are growing. I love that the some of the lizards roam freely. If you are into reptiles and amphibians or have boys, you gotta check out this store! Reasonable prices, and nice staff!

Do you like reptiles as pets? I don’t. I hate snakes, I don’t like iguanas, I really have no business here.
I was warned that there would be snakes and such inside this store. With one foot inside the store cuz of J calling me and one foot outside cuz of the smell of amphibian poo, I finally decided to go in to check this place out.
Inside in front of me, there was a very tame and dormant iguana lying on the floor. I thought it was a plastic decoration until i saw it breathe. I even petted the darn thing. It was cool but I still wouldn’t want one as a pet.
The turtles were fun to watch. I’d build a pond for them to swim in if I had the money.
J’s bro needed mice for snake feed so he bought 3 of them at $ 1.50 each + OC sales tax. They were delivered to us in a paper bag much like a lunch sack. The three soon-​to-​be blind/​dead mice were scratching the bag for the entire car ride home. I wasn’t sure if they’d be smart enough to eat through the bag but I was sure sad for these mice. Imagine holding some helpless creature’s life in your hands that you know will end ugly by some devious snake. I couldn’t take it.
I don’t know why people can’t just feed their snakes with microwaved food. I understand that snakes need their food to be warm to know it’s there but wouldn’t some warmed up leftover bbq taste better than some poor little mouse?
