Hometown Pets - Springfield

I really like this place! They have a fantastic reptile and invertebrate selection and you can tell that the people working here care about reptiles. There's supplies for other types of pets as well, but this place really stands out as an awesome store for reptile enthusiasts. They ARE a "pet store" in that they sell some different species of reptiles, but the husbandry and care of all of their reptiles is outstanding, with some of them even being permanent residents of the store :)

I have a 29 year old autistic daughter. Who loves that store!! We went there yesterday due to the rats we previously purchased grew to quick to feed our boy. The guy was going to just give us a credit for two more rats. That was awesome. I did refuse the credit. I explained it was my own fault for buying to many rays to soon. I just didn't want to turn them loose or keep them. I must say I was happy he took them. I had a concern on temp of the enclosure and he walked me through it. Suggested we start with a thermometer before purchasing extra heating equipment. Shows they aren't into overselling, just to make money. And oh this man was so great with my daughter. They continued talking snake anatomy till I told my daughter we need to leave. Lol. We could get items closer to home. We live almost a hour south. But we love that store!#!

I love going in here. They always answer any questions I have and put up with my worry wort repetitiveness. Super knowledgeable and friendly people. And I always leave with more stuff than I came in for :)

Very awesome pet store. Mainly reptiles... Beautiful snakes, lizards, frogs, and they have spiders and cockroaches. They sell dog food and cat food, toys, and aquariums, terrain.. etc. Oh and feeder mice, rats, rabbits. Highly recommend!!

I love Hometown Pets. The owners and staff are all very friendly, knowledgeable and ready to fill any order! Even special ordering products I can't find anywhere else. The new location is coming along great. Very excited to have a new store just 3 minutes away, though I happily drove to Eugene and will continue to I'm sure.

My go to for anything reptile!! Super knowable!! Friendly staff! The pets I get from here are always super healthy and seem to be extremely happy. They have been able to answer any questions I have regarding my snakes or lizards. The dog section is pretty well stocked up as well!

If you've been to other reptile specific shops, this one stands head and shoulders above the rest. The snakes are locally bred, and th breeder works here, so you have an excellent resource for general care and specific snakes behavior. They also have frozen rats and mice of varied and clearly labeled sizes. This is my favorite pet shop that isn't fish centric.

As a ball Python Hobbyist, they have A LOT of what I need to keep my snakes healthy and happy. Great feeder selection, husbandry, and snakes you can pick up to help further your own projects! It's always fun to come in and talk to someone who is also working on their own projects when it comes to BP's.

The people are always super nice and they have a good selection of reptiles and all the accessories needed to keep them happy and healthy, including a variety of feeder insects. They also have supplies for cats and dogs, including good quality food. There are a couple cats in the shop that are sweethearts too.

I cannot say enough about how amazing the staff is, everyone there is always so willing to help and they are so knowledgeable. They run their business so incredibly professional it's mind-blowing, because that's something you hardly ever see anymore. This is definitely one of those places you want to support

Great selection, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Clean facilities with very fair prices. We have been going exclusively to both locations for years since moving here from out east. Top shelf family owned business!

These people are the bees knees, definitely the place to go for any reptile/amphibian knowledge and advice in Springfield. To first time reptile owners, this is a great starting place. They are very compassionate and kind and just want the best for your little (or sometimes big) buddy :)

Been going here for over a year now. Always super helpful and friendly whenever we go in! I had some questions about my snakes today and Trevor was exceptionally kind to give me suggestions on upgrading my snake habitats. Never have had a problem with this store. Highly recommended!

👍🏻

The reptiles looked well taken care of, and the employees were very nice and eager to help!
This is definitely a place to go buy reptile pets- such as snakes, lizards, etc!

And they carry products to help take care of reptiles!

I absolutely love this place!

I had never heard of nor have I ever been inside of the store until today. The gal that welcomed me was so super friendly! I had rescued a pet turtle from just being let go into the wild, and I didn't know anything about it. But gal that was there helped me so much. She Google lensed the turtle and we found out it's actually a tortoise, and then she went on to explain to me exactly how I needed to care for the tortoise. My experience there was so amazing and all of their reptiles are so super adorable, I highly recommend this place to anybody. And I will be going back for the rest of the items that I need and couldn't purchase today. Thank you!

I’m a regular here and will probably always get all of my reptile and amphibian supplies from here! They’ve been incredibly helpful with advise on my pac man frog and ball python.

The counter person was nice & quite knowledgeable about everything. Such a relief to know that I don't have to go over to the other store at Santa Clara Square!! Will definitely be back!!

The counter guy knew exactly what I was talking about with regards to a particular parrot food, which unfortunately they didn't have available. They suggested another store that I was unaware of before that might have the brand of food I was looking for.

I now work for these guys but I would come in several times a week for my pet supplies. They always have a great selection of reptiles and anything you need for them. Small animals, cats, dogs, fish and other exotic pets are not to be forgotten as they have practically everything you need

I came in seeking advice about a bearded dragon that my daughter will be getting soon. The people working were so friendly and knowledgeable about not just beardies but also all the other interesting critters they have there. I will for sure be recommending hometown pets to others.

They have such lovely lizards and snakes--my partner is going to be getting one from here shortly, and they seem to really care about the creatures they have. There's also cute cats!
