Scales 'N Tails Colorado Springs

Healthy animals and friendly staff who know what they're talking about. My crested gecko from them is as healthy and happy as ever a year later, and I always head here when I need supplies. Would strongly recommend this spot for advice on care or equipment, the employees won't try to sell you anything you don't need and they're clearly very passionate about reptiles.

Easily missed it's just one more store and one more strip Mall in the sea of strip malls in this city, this little shop has all the supplies you need to begin having a reptile as a pet in your home. Very friendly customer service, the man even allowed my daughter to touch a snake we were interested in purchasing. Staff is very knowledgeable about each animal they sell.

We called the location on Constitution and unfortunately the staff were less than helpful, saying that they could not tell us a product that is used in store because they did not want us to buy it somewhere else…but then we tried the North Academy location, and Kyle was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. He gave us the info we needed and even let us know that they were having a discount on the product we needed. He seemed more concerned for the animal and not making a sale, and for that we are thankful and will be coming in today! Thanks Kyle!

Paul was awesome and so helpful. My 6 yr old son is obsessed with bugs, so we went on to get some caterpillars to hatch into moths. Paul showed my little guy every grub and larva and isopod they had, teaching him about them. He was knowledgeable and very kind. We ended up getting a frog too, and the bedding for him, and my son is so happy with his new pets! Thank you

They always have fresh crickets for my lizards. I have never had a question they couldn't answer. Everytime I go in, I'm checked out in a matter of minutes. They are just that fast! I have gone here for years and will continue to go and tell other reptile owners that this is the spot to go for all their reptile needs!

I had a bad experience with the constitution location but this N. Academy Scales and Tails / Reptile is great … friendly, knowledgable people, treated us well despite the store being busy- cages were clean , small place but a decent amount of choices for accessories and animals - friendly tortoise free roaming - I wish they’d get a few larger accommodations for the bigger animals but overall good experience … kudos to the staff !

Very knowledgeable staff! We were able to find calcium supplements and a better substrate for our tortoise. Thank you!

Paul has been very helpful with set up for our new pet. He happily answered all of our questions and told us if we have any other questions just to give him a call.

Very informative friendly and knowledgeable employees. If I go in with a question they are able to give me a accurate answer.
Bixby voice what's the cockroaches the crickets everything they have are great.
If you have a new animal or need one I would go here forward vice.

Beautiful reptiles are everywhere, the people who work there obviously know what they're doing and talking about. Always friendly and ready to answer any questions that someone has.

Fast and knowledgeable service by Jake. He helped me find the tarantula I needed and walked me through the care and maintenance of the animal. The store was well stocked and the animals seemed well looked after and happy. They had a good selection of terrarium supplies and food needed for the various critters. Their selection of tarantulas was also great ranging from beginner varieties to more advanced specimens in the hobby and the prices were beyond competitive.

Scales and tails is great. Their staff is knowledgeable friendly they most always can help me with my questions. And aside from ridiculous cold killing Crickets during shipments they always have food for my whites tree frog and my Panther chameleon.

Very awesome store. The guy working was very helpful and knowledgeable. Lots of lovely creatures and good habitat accessories. I recommend checking it out!

They have great customer service. Very welcoming atmosphere and they are informative to beginners looking to get a new pet. They were able to identify the sex of our ball python. We've been regular customers for over a year. They always go above and beyond.

They had everything we needed for our bearded lizards. They answered all of our questions and were very knowledgeable.

Love this place so much. Managed to get my mom her original Argus Monitor back from these guys, lucky find!! Plus my beautiful babies I recently got!!! Always happy to help and a great variety of reptiles to choose from! Couldnt recommend a better place for supplies and reptiles.

This is a great place for your reptile friends. Knowledgeable staff, usually have everything you need to take care of your pets that have scales, tails, and more than 4 legs. Alway have a good variety of animals on display and usually have a couple turtles roaming the store. Will recommend them for sure.

Lots of wonderful reptiles and exotic pets in very healthy condition. very well maintained and friendly knowledgeable staff.

Great store! We bought a Greek Tortoise for my son 14 years ago, they've helped through the years with advise on care. We then bought a Russian Tortoise for my other son 9 years ago from them because of the help. Last purchase was my baby red tailed boa which is now 7 feet long after 5 years. Feeder mice/rats, turtle super salads have all be in great condition when purchasing from this store. Staff has always been knowledgeable and helpful. If I had a complaint it would be the store isn't big enough, would love to see these guy's running a store twice the size with more animals.

I love this place! They care about their animals, they obviously love reptiles, they know what the animals need, they are always willing to go above and beyond their duties to help reptile owners with their animals! Cheapest place in town for crickets especially with their cricket cards! I got my chunky boy there and love him!
