About Us

Our huge animal selection cannot be matched by any other local store and some of our animals are seldom seen in the pet trade. With competitive prices and knowledgeable employees to help even the most inexperienced pet keeper be successful, Scales N Tails, Inc. is truly your one stop reptile shop!

Why Us

In the 16 years we have been in business we have seen many independent reptile/exotic pet stores come and go. This segment of the pet industry is truly not for beginners. To be successful one must have superior knowledge of the products and animals, spend a great deal of time and capital on marketing and advertising, and go to great lengths to keep customers happy and wanting to return. Keeping the customers happy involves providing them with a quality product at a fair and competitive price, marinating a full line of live feeders, and sharing knowledge and expertise to ensure they become successful reptile keepers. We have spent years working on these issues so that our franchisees do not have to. They automatically gain access to our well-known and trusted brand, our wealth of animal knowledge, and our vendor relationships that allow Scales 'N Tails stores to buy the best products at the best prices. Many more will come and go, but Scales 'N Tails will remain and expand, it has been proven time and time again.
