Snakes, lizards and amphibians are available for online purchase through our parent company, NERD. We'll ship your new animal, or you can buy online and pick it up in the store. Everything else is in-store.

Snakes (mostly captive-bred by NERD), lizards, turtles and tortoises, frogs, toads, newts and salamanders, freshwater fish and shrimp, small furry animals like fancy rats and mice, tarantulas and scorpions, and insects and isopods. Stock changes — call for what's in.

Yes. We take special orders for fish, and we'll do our best to special-order enclosures in a size or style you haven't seen in the store. Call (603) 382-3338.

Yes — live and frozen rodents, crickets, roaches, fruit flies, hornworms and waxworms, plus fish and turtle food and supplements like calcium. Call for availability.

Full payment is due in advance to reserve your slot. All cancellations carry a 25% fee, and rescheduling within 10 days of your booking adds a 25% fee (barring acts of God).
