The Tye-Dyed Iguana

Excellent shop! Top notch customer service by Matt and his staff. We bought a crested gecko and supplies. They even offer pet sitting when you go out of town. We also considered hermit crabs and snakes. Came in twice to look for a good starter pet and price supplies. Received great advice. My kids love to come and get crickets and look around to see what’s new. Fantastic store.

Headed here today after a recommendation from a friend of mine.
The store is in a strip mall, sort of in the back. This is a large shop that is clean and well lit. There are all sorts of reptiles, snakes, arachnids etc… on display. I came to pick up 3 Moon Crabs and ended up leaving with a beautiful Mexican Red Kneed Tarantula! My previous one died after 12 yrs and they are a bit tricky to find. I am not sure if it was the owner who assisted me but everyone there was very helpful.
I never felt pressured or ignored and they made sure I understood how to care for my new pets.
They also host birthday parties for kids here.
I will for sure be back and it was only about 20 min from Downtown.

A favorite place, it’s a store and zoo in one!

I just went in to the Tye-​Dyed Iguana today for a birthday party, and wow… I am impressed! This is one of those stores that stands against the normal horrors you see in pet shops and that makes the animals its first priority. How can I tell this? The owners, Matt and Stephanie, are very careful about selling their assortment of snakes, lizards, frogs, turtles, tarantulas, scorpions and other exotic pets to people who will take care of them, and they have a collection of many other reptiles (iguanas, pythons, chameleons and others) that are strictly for display only. It’s impressive to see pet shop owners who take proper care of their animals, and I cannot recommend this story highly enough as a result!
The TDI is a fairly large store with pretty much everything you’d ever need to own a reptile, including live and frozen food (crickets, roaches, mice and rats). The owners are extremely knowledgeable about reptiles and even offer live birthday party shows with some of their display pets where they teach the participants (usually children) about the animals.
The prices for the animals and supplies are reasonable, and the customer service is superb. Though the store is tucked on the edge of an older shopping center and not visible from the street, it always seems to be busy and full of reptile enthusiasts. The animals are extremely well-​taken-​care-​of, and the owners will pull any animals that are sick or unfriendly. (These animals are pulled off the sales floor, but still cared for by the staff.)
Even if you just want to go for the experience, the TDI is worth the trip. I walked out wanting to be a regular customer — it’s that neat of a place. Now, if only my wife would let me get a snake…

By far my favorite pet store I’ve ever been in. Tye Dyed Iguana stands out so much from the average «pet shop» that it hardly should be referred to as one.
Matt and Stephanie are knowledgeable about the animals they offer, and are obviously concerned for the future well-​being of any creatures that leave their store. They make sure that any herps with special requirements — such as bearded dragons needing UVB — only go to a home that will provide them with such things.
From tarantulas to tortoises, crickets to corn snakes, TDI has anything you could possibly need for your animals, and if they don’t, they’re happy to try to order an item for you. They have tanks, substrate, live feeders, supplements, foggers, filters, cage decorations, and so much more. Do yourself a favor and check out their store sometime, if only to stand in awe at their fantastic personal collection!
