Frequently Asked Questions

What reptile species does Burbank Scales N Tails usually have in stock?
Inventory rotates regularly, but commonly available species include ball pythons, bearded dragons, leopard geckos, and various lizards. It's worth calling ahead at (818) 842-6496 to confirm what's currently available before making the trip.
Can I get care advice before buying my first reptile?
Yes, staff can help you understand what each species needs in terms of temperature, lighting, feeding, and handling. It's a good idea to ask specific questions about the animal you're considering so you leave with a clear picture of the daily commitment involved.
Do they sell live feeder insects and frozen feeders?
Most reptile pet stores like this one carry live crickets, mealworms, and sometimes roaches, along with frozen mice and rats for snake owners. Stock availability can vary, so calling ahead for specific feeder sizes is a smart move.
Is Burbank Scales N Tails a good option for experienced reptile collectors?
