Scales ‘n’ Tails

Friendly and knowledgeable staff, clean and organized store. Went in o pick up nice for my snake and was able to get just the info I needed to make the right buy. The kid behind the counter, maybe 10, was adorable and helpful as well :)
Perfect location too. Thanks for the help!

Place was a mess, not alot to choose from. Some animals on improper bedding. Plus half the cages are empty. Never coming here again.

Every time we walk into Scales n Tails, the employees are informative, helpful, friendly, and willing to talk about the replies and amphibians. We bought a very healthy young pink toe tarantula here. We also come in to get crickets and other things for her. The blue haired girl that works there was really awesome with my kids answering all their questions and ponderings, I wish I would’ve gotten her name. They have a great variety of reptiles and amphibians and the prices are very reasonable. They’re definitely the place to get your tarantula, iguana, or snake. Thanks for being awesome gal and guys!

I freakin’ love this place. We come here all the time to get advise about our 2 bearded dragons (that we also purchased here). They are always full of information, and they are always willing to help. They have cricket punch cards that are a pretty good value. Honestly nice guys who are nice, I agree with April, I drive up from north Thornton just to go in because I know they really know what they are talking about… not like other pet shops.

I’ve never actually purchased a pet from here, but I have been in several times to browse and get supplies. The staff is always friendly and helpful. They take the time to explain what care and needs the pets will have to potential buyers.
It’s worth the drive from Wheat Ridge to go to this location.

Herp experience — none yet
I went in to this location with great hesitancy due to the poor ratings the other stores have received. Immediately upon walking in I was greeted by staff, soon to find out that it was the manager, Andy. I informed him my wife and I were looking into getting our first snake and were looking for more information. He spent about 45 minutes with us, answering questions, getting us a shopping list, and pulling out several snakes to allow us to hold. It was obvious the enjoyment he received working with reptiles of all kinds.
I went in about 2 weeks later to do more research on specific species I had been researching online. The list he had developed for us has been slowly been picked up and he totally understood that I was not yet ready to purchase. There was NO pressure to buy and was obvious I have all the info before I commit to the 20ish year lifespan of many snakes. Andy was again extremely helpful and even suggested an online location to check out to purchase snakes that ship overnight, if he was unable to order them. I was in the store for about 30 minutes ogling snakes and other reptiles while they were being fed.
I was excited to see this place was totally opposite of so many reviews I have seen about Scales ‘n’ Tales. This is ONLY for this location (104^th Ave)…see my review for the Lakewood location (Wadsworth). All are owned by the same person but the staff they have is very different from one location to another.
I HIGHLY recommend Scales ‘n’ Tales off 104^th in Northglenn. Very knowledgeable staff, no pressure atmosphere, very helpful with making a decision. Now the only quandary I have is which species should I go with for my first… corn, milk, or rainbow boa???
