For those of you who are still interested in purchasing live insects or rodents from us, we will have a pickup time at our old location (1019 college road) from 2pm-3pm on Saturday and Sunday this weekend. We did get all bugs except roaches in today, so everything except dubias are in stock currently.

And if you can't come during the allotted pickup time, feel free to message me directly and I can try to setup another time this weekend as I will be in and out of the shop moving stuff all weekend.

This weekend will be our last weekend open before starting the process of moving out of our current location. We will be open Saturday and Sunday from 2pm-8pm. Unfortunately our shipment of bugs did not come in today and chances are it will not arrive tonight, so it's most likely we will only have mealworms as far as live insects for this weekend. If the other insects do come in I will post an update to let everyone know.

Sometime next week I will announce details about how I will continue to offer insects and rodents while we are making our transition. Thanks again to all our loyal customers and we are excited to see everyone this weekend.

Hey everyone! The shop's hours this weekend will be the same as last weekend. So we will be open 2pm-8pm on Saturday and Monday, and Sunday we will have the reduced hours of 2pm-5pm. And although we are sad to say it, the next weekend of March 25th will be our last weekend open at our original location, so be sure to stop by while you still can. Hours for next weekend will be announced next Friday.

Hey everyone, got two quick announcements.

This weekends shop hours will be the normal 2pm-8pm on Saturday and Monday, and on Sunday we will be open from 2pm-5pm.

I would also like to let everyone know that we now have a local source for live mice. If you interested in getting any, adults will cost $4 each and please contact me directly because they are not being kept at the shop, but I can bring them to the shop as long as you let me know in advance.

We hope everyone in fairbanks has been enjoying the nice weather this week!

Hey everyone! It is with mixed emotions that we must announce that Jake's Snakes will be moving out of our current storefront at the bluegrass commons within the next two months. Although we are sad to be leaving the place where it all started, we hope to be moved into a new storefront in Fairbanks and open again for the public by the end of summer 2023. We would like to extend a sincere thank you to Bluegrass Common and for providing a great space to begin the business, as well as a huge thank you to all of our loyal customers who continue to show support for Jake's Snakes as well as local businesses in general. Without the support of the community, Jake's Snakes could not exist, and we really appreciate everyone who has stopped by the shop to purchase feeders, check out the critters or even if you just stopped by to say hi and chat. Getting to meet and help so many cool people in the community through the shop has really been a dream come true.

With that being said, the shop will still be open at our current location with reduced hours for the next 3 or 4 weeks. I will post our adjusted hours weekly as well as update them on our page and Google maps.

This weekend, we will be open from 2pm-8pm on Saturday the 4th. Sunday the 5th the shop will open earlier than normal from noon-3pm. Monday the 6th we will be closed.

We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause. If you are not able to come in during our reduced hours and would still like to purchase something, please feel free to message us and we'll try our best to work out another time to meet.

To anyone worried about where you will get feeders while the shop isn't open, we will still be getting in bugs as well as frozen rodents during our hiatus and we would still like to offer those to the community. Details on exactly how that will work are not determined yet, but tentatively we will take orders for feeders online and plan a time to meet up with customers until we have open hours at the new storefront. Feel free to message us with any input or comments.

Once again, thank you to everyone who has supported the business. We hope to have your continued support as we make this transition.

All sizes of mice and rats are back in stock at the shop! Apologies to those who have been waiting so patiently for our shipment to come in. We shouldn't be running out of rodents anytime soon, but if you would still like to message me and reserve anything ahead of coming into the shop feel free :)

Hey everyone, apologies for the late notice, but the shop will be closed this weekend and monday for Christmas. We hope everyone has a happy and warm holiday! The shop will be reopen as normal the following weekend on the 31st, 1st and 2nd.

Just wanted to remind everyone that our holiday sale has officially begun! All weekend and Monday we will be discounting 15% off of live insects and corals are 20% off. We also have a limited supply of hornworms available. (There is one cup of 12 hornworms set aside for each person who commented on last weekends post :))

Even if you aren't in the market for live insects or corals, we would still love to see you this weekend. Swing by the shop and check out our new bioactive dart frog enclosure!

Happy holidays to all! We hope everyone has been having an enjoyable winter so far. As much as we don't like the cold te...

Happy holidays to all! We hope everyone has been having an enjoyable winter so far. As much as we don't like the cold temps, all of us at the shop have been having a nice warm winter in our little oasis.

We also have a small selection of used reptile decor for sale now, which will be 15% off next weekend during the sale.

I don't plan on getting a lot in unless I hear that there is interest in them from the customers, so please comment here or feel free to dm me if you would like some hornworms next weekend.

Once again, happy holidays to all!

The bugs are here!! We got in our shipment of insects, so this weekend we will have crickets available again. We also got more mealworms and for the first time in a while we got super worms in, so we will have a variety of options for insectivores.

We also have some new shop residents who just arrived today! Here is a video of them eating for the first time in the shop. Be sure to stop by and check them out this weekend!
