Snake Discovery: Reptile Store & Zoo

12/11/2025

🎁✨ Give your reptile the gift of an upgrade this holiday season! ✨🎁

Our brand-new Snake Discovery 4x2x2 enclosures are here, and they’re looking sleek in our classic black & green color scheme! These enclosures feature crystal-clear glass doors that won’t warp or scratch like acrylic, plus solid-colored sides on the back three walls to help your pets feel safe and secure.

They also include a screen lid designed to support both a basking lamp and a UVB lamp, making them a perfect setup for many species. This size is the recommended enclosure for adult bearded dragons, ball pythons, corn snakes, and plenty of other reptiles on your nice list. 🐍🦎🎄

🎄 Available now in-store, or order online through Chewy here:

Help your scaley friends celebrate the season in style! 🎅🪴

Tomorrow night is our Stuffed Animal Care event! Join us in the Snake Discovery classroom, where you can choose from a variety of reptile and amphibian stuffies and discover the joy of caring for your new companion! This program will also allow you to personally interact with some of the animals and go out into the zoo afterward.

Don't wait! Reserve your spot by visiting the link below for ticket details.
We look forward to seeing you there 🐍🦎🐢

Choose between six of our popular plushies and learn how to care for your chosen species. This is perfect for those little ones who keep asking for their very own reptile that you maybe aren’t ready to commit to, though adults are welcome to join as participants too! Leave with a care card, a cert...

Oh my goodness, thank you for the continued gifts for our rescue animals from our Amazon Wishlist!! These will go such a long way in caring for the ~80 animals in our rescue right now. Specifically, we'd like to send a huge THANK YOU to:
- Marie V, who sent *everything* in picture #2!
- Two other generous donors whose names are unfortunately blurry in the picture (please comment below if one of these was you!). UPDATE: The names on those slips were Alyssa B. and yet another donation from Marie V! Thank you both so much!

We recently received:
Hand soap- for our staff and volunteers to wash while caring for the rescues, which is sometimes a messy job!
Paper towels- for cleaning enclosures, spills, assistance in giving medications, etc.
Hides- These are easily disinfected and work for such a wide variety of reptiles we get surrendered.
Pink cards- We use these to create each animal's ID card!
Moss- We use this for tropical species to keep humidity levels appropriate while they're in our care. It's also perfect for humid hides!
Dawn- For the endless dishes our poor sink endures throughout the day. :P
Plastic totes- We use these for soaking reptiles in Betadine solution, as well as transport bins to new homes!
Pillowcases- These are used to help snakes with stuck shed, as well as to send larger snakes home in to make them feel secure.

Don't feel obligated of course, but if you're feeling generous and would like to send something to our rescued reptiles, here is our Amazon wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/23OBWLQU005XN?ref_=wl_share

❄️Snowstorm update:
Due to the heavy snow and quickly deteriorating road conditions, we will be closing at 4:30pm today. Drive safe, everyone! We plan on opening as normal tomorrow, but we will post here if that changes.
