Our Company:
Herpeton Exotic Pets was started by Ryan South in 1991. He recognized a desperate need for quality exotic care, support and affordable pets and supplies. We opened the doors on Burleson Road in a 250 square foot facility. After a few years of good luck and terrific customer loyalty we expanded with a North Austin location on Burnet Road close to Hwy 183. We then moved our small South location to a much roomier East Oltorf location. In 1996 Herpeton Exotic Pets expanded further to the West next to Target on Ben White and South Lamar. In that time, we have made many, many families happier with the addition of a high quality exotic pets.
Our Business Philosophy:

- We love animals as much as our customers do and truly want you to have a great time with your pets.
- Come on by and experience what many have said is the exemplary service that we offer.

Because we have so many different animals to offer in one small store, we have a lengthy list of daily tasks to keep the store smelling as nice as possible. If we didn't you wouldn't be able to even walk through the door! We try very hard to make sure our animals and our customers are safe at all times. We occasionally have some escapees but they are quickly caught. To help us keep the animals safe make sure an employee is assisting you before you open a cage. We don't usually name our animals because they are not with us for very long.
