Just had to let any of you So Cal folks know that Radical Reptiles located in Hobby City, Anaheim, California is a great little herp shop. I have 5 snakes from them and all are wonderful. The owner is extremly helpful and very honest. The folks who work in the store are some of the hardest working people in the business. While the store is small, it usually has a great selection of animals. All are well presented. I have the good fortune to be able to visit on my lunch hour about 3 days a week and can tell you that each day, the animals are given fresh water. Food is given individually and regularly. The water bowls are sterilized regularly. Feces are cleaned up, sheds are removed - all the things you do to care for a herp are attended to. They do sell imported animals-and these animals are overseen by a qualified herp vet. 3 of the snakes I have the good fortune to have living with me are ch ball pythons. I have heard horrible things about getting ch ball babies but these guys are very healthy and beautiful. My western hognose that I got from them are also wonderful. When I have had trouble getting the hogs to eat, the staff at RR has been there diligently-trying new ideas, using their own lizards and amphibians to scent mice for me, and getting in the lizard maker that finally did the trick. Bottom line-it is a great store with great folks who truly care about the animals they are selling. If you are in the area-check them out. I believe they also show up at a lot of herp shows as well so look for them. They are great people!
