This place has a little bit of everything. We saw both fresh & saltwater fish, iguanas, birds, snakes, lizards, gerbils, rats, scorpions, and last but not least a capuchin monkey. That's not a complete list, there's too much to list. They also carry a wide variety of pet supplies to go along with all the pets they carry. It's the largest supply of pet stuff not dominated by cat & dog stuff, that you can find in a store. Saturday's are really busy. This is not a petting zoo it's a purchase place. The only real issue I have is not very many pets have a descriptive label or price tag shown. Overall if you want to shop for any pet product that isn't really cat/dog related this is the place to go. They have a huge selection.
Very cool place... I give it 3 stars for the atmosphere but 2 stars on how this puppy was kept... there is a dog there in a cage full of feces and pee all in the cage and just looks so sad... really needs a home and they said he/she is for sale for 250 but honestly they deserve only like 20 considering how poor shes kept.. no food or water.
Justin runs a clean and organized store. Healthy animals, wide variety of supplies, and friendly service. He and his staff are always very helpful, especially with questions pertaining to aquarium management.
The people were super helpful and nice . The store was clean and had a nice variety of pets and pet products. They also have a "King Julien" and a little monkey (not for sale) that can be viewed by the children. It was a lovely little store.
DO NOT BUY PET RATS FROM THE JUNGLE EXOTIC PET SHOP. NOT ONLY ARE THEY OVERPRICED, BUT THEY ARE POOR QUALITY WITH SERIOUS TEMPERMENT ISSUES—AN ADULT RAT BITE TO A HUMAN ADULT CAN TEAR THROUGH TENDONS AND BREAK BONES. Rats rarely, rarely bite unlike a lot of rodents, but if they’re getting them from the same supplier, they’re going to have a lot of customers with biting rats as their rats age, and I’ll tell you why. Let me preface this by saying I breed rats, good, quality pet rats. I know not to buy from pet shops, but I made the exception here. I went with my nephew, and we saw a lone agouti dumbo rat in a cage. I felt bad for her, as rats are very social and can become extremely depressed when alone, but what really got me was my nephew looking up at me with those big eyes begging me to save it. I gave in, deciding to just keep her as a pet and never breed her. The first red flag happened when I asked one of the workers about her. A cursory glance had told me she was most likely female—males basically have torpedos from the time they’re 4 weeks old, it’s pretty obvious, and she was an adult already. I went to ask about her, and the man said she was a male. I shrugged, figured maybe she was just laying weird. But when he went to get her out, he froze. “Oh... no, she’s a female. Sorry. Anyhow, you want her? She’s the last one we got, you’re lucky.” It was pretty apparent from his response that she had been housed with males. I knew what I was getting into—a pregnant rat. I had thought she was just fat at first, but now it was clear. I kept waiting for the worker to warn me. He never did. I was annoyed but went to the cash register to pay for her. I expected a price similar to petco or petsmart. Their rats aren’t good quality, but they’re mainly used for feeders, and are fairly cheap if nothing else. Instead I got told to pay roughly $25. My jaw nearly hit the floor. Most quality ratteries across the nation don’t charge that much for a single rat, and their rats are pet quality with excellent temperaments with health problems bred out to ensure long lifespans. But my nephew was looking at me so I handed it over and took her home. Somehow things got worse. She was scared, skittish, but I expected that. My nephew said she had bit her, and he had a small mark, but not knowing the details of the situation, I gave her the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately I could only handle her for about a week before she grew too big, and I left her alone so as not to stress her out until around 3 days after she had her babies. I reached in to pet her, and BAM. She grabbed hold of my finger, bit down, and didn’t let go. She had bit the side of the finger and her teeth slid under the skin/meat beneath my finger print. She eventually let go. It bled forever, and was bruised and sore for well over a month. I was lucky the part she bit was meaty, and I didn’t suffer any major loss of function or nerve damage. I had to wear gloves from that point forward. Even when handing treats or her babies back to her, she wasn’t interested in the food or her kids but biting my hand. She would attempt to bite me through the cage when simply changing her water. She had Maternal Aggression, a genetic hormonal problem passed from parent to baby that affects male and female rats, males normally when they hit puberty, females normally after having babies. Some females recover after having their babies, other’s do not. Her babies are long gone, but I still have to wear gloves whenever near her cage. I will sadly have to resort to euthanasia. I have children come to see my pets, including my own niece and nephew. While they are closely monitored, kids are sneaky, and all it would take was one of them going into the room while I was in the bathroom or something and reaching in to pet her to change their lives forever.
