| - This is a little, local owned store that pales in comparison to other local owned stores. Having had reptiles, fish and birds my whole life, I would never buy anything from the wild, and this place has a reputation for having cheap prices because of the low quality of their animals. I have found wild caught animals in this store repeatedly. I have also seen animals very improperly housed, along with feces in the cages.
I have also had a conversation with the owner who was dropping some very racist bombs into the conversation about our current president and anyone who speaks multiple languages.
It seems that all of the knowledge they have is only gained from elementary readings and minimal experience. Their fish selection looks as though it was an old Walmart setup, which means if one fish is sick, they are all sick.
It is hard to tell people not to support a family owned business, but with a racist husband and a lady that never moves from her stool behind the counter but has an attitude on her, and with experiences as described above, it gets somewhat easier to tell you to go to another store. It is worth it to drive to another pet store that does not support taking animals from the wild, does not hire weirdo's, and has a less "racist" staff. I know of another reptile store at Bell and Cavecreek that has a much, much better selection.
