50 fathoms pet shop. They have many good supplies but I strongly suggest do not get any reptiles from there. me and a friend bought a baby ball python each. My friends died after a week of owning it. I noticed mine had a good bit of mucus in its mouth after a day after i purchased it. I brought it to the vet and it had to be hospitalized because it had some serious sort of bacteria infection. I called to complain to the store and they said they didnt say much besides they couldnt do anything for me. I loved the store at first but after this I will never go back. Btw i have payed over 300 in vet bills for the snake I got there and i have only had it for 3 weeks.

Sells SICK Animals. My fiance and I went to 50 Fathoms to buy some rat food for our two ratty boys. We went to look at the rodents, and saw that they had a huge group of rat pups. We fell in love with a little beige hooded rat, and wanted to take him home. However, when I asked the staff how old they were and where they came from, they had no clue. The males and females were mixed together, and some of the females were obviously pregnant. However, the associate helping us assured us that our rat was healthy. I took him home, and he immediately started sneezing and had discharge from his eyes and nose. Now we are worried he will get our older boys sick too!

When I called to complain, the staff member said that they would take him back, but they wouldn't be able to do anything for the sick rats still at the store. They were feeder rats, of course, but any animal in a pet shop should be healthy if it could be someone's pet. We kept the rat, but he needs to see a vet.

The staff is friendly, but they are NOT knowledgeable about anything except fish. Instead of supporting this store, I will be ordering my rat food from now on.

This is not your typical pet store. The selection is great, but they sell out fast, so get there when the new shipments come in. If you have questions, they dont mind detailed explinations. They are pretty accomodating with store credits when warranted, but be sure you can back your claim. The guys have a sarcastic wit at times, and if youre a newbie you might think they are rude, but long time customers know, they love a good comeback, so it's all in fun. Overall, if you are addicted to reptiles or cichlids, this a great pet store.

nice shop RUDE staff. First trip to this store.We were loving the store at first ,great selection of reptiles,fish and rodents. when we were looking at the rodents we noticed one of them just had babies and was starting to eat them ( which is not uncommon) we mentioned it to the guy working in the store just in case they didnt know. he very rudely said i cant control that we breed them and turned and walked away. so did we. straight out the door never to return again. we had planned on buying my son a snake for easter but if they are that rude when you are trying to help what are they going to do if you have a problem with a pet bought from them?
