Reptile Junction — Local services in Apache Junction

Updating for our most recent visit. I was looking for a new male chameleon so went to Reptile Junction and found a treasure trove of animals, reptiles, and everything else you need. The new store setup looks amazing, especially the chameleon area, where they are not hidden behind glass or screens. We found a sociable one and brought Skywalker to his new home. Got my feeder insects as well, to round out our one-stop shopping. The staff was busy helping multiple kids with education efforts for their reptiles. Once again, the owner assisted me with finding a good chameleon and making a few suggestions about running water setups. Highly recommend. Now, my grandkids keep asking when they can go back to Reptile Junction Original post: Found this oasis as I needed new supplies and enclosure for my veiled chameleon, who just had 35 eggs. The staff was super friendly and the owner gave me multiple DIY options for set-up. I picked up a new enclosure and bulb, plus some various insects for my girl. The prices were very affordable, which is always nice. If you want to stop by to see which critter might be walking around, you will be satisfied with the store. Highly recommend!!

I love this place! Everyone I have spoken to here has been so helpful! I recently obtained an abandoned bearded dragon and didn't know much about how to take care of it. I came to this store because it is right down the street from my house and was pleasantly surprised. They have lots of reptiles on display, some running loose. When I first walked in I almost walked right into an ostrich that was walking around. Another bird came up and started pecking at my feet. The lady working at the counter greeted me with a huge smile. When I told her about my situation she had lots of information she was willing to share and did not even try to sell me anything. My experience has always been the employees walking me right over to the most expensive tank and supplies that are overpriced and not needed. Not here, I actually left after only spending a few dollars on crickets and worms and a head full of tips on how to make my new dragon more comfortable. I have since gone back for more items and every employee I have dealt with had the same demeanor. They all seem happy to be there and more than willing to help answer any questions I may have. I definitely recommend stopping in. If anything, just to...

Honestly my girlfriend has been going here for years. It seems like a cool place but if you honestly love the creatures you buy enough to take them to the vet, DO NOT BUY FROM HERE. She got a Savannah monitor from here as a Xmas present to herself. The reptile had parasites, ticks native to Africa & some other severe issues. She wanted to get a refund for the creature (I was sure they wouldn't, but she insisted that they probably would), they refused a refund (unless she brought the creature back, even while she showed them the vets visit which totaled over $300, when she spent $75 on the creature) but what horrified both of us the most is when the nice gentleman said "Oh we pick those off of our animals all the time.".... Ladies and gents, this is the most honest thing I have ever heard from a pet store worker & it is horrific to an extreme. I'd recommend Predators off of Dobson. But this place... yeah if you care enough about your critters, creatures & animals.. yeah don't buy...
