Frequently Asked Questions

How is this Scales 'N Tails location different from the other Las Vegas location?
The two locations operate separately with their own phone numbers and likely different inventory at any given time. It's worth calling both if you're looking for a specific species, since stock varies between locations and changes frequently.
What reptiles are good choices for apartment living in Las Vegas?
Smaller species like leopard geckos, crested geckos, and corn snakes are popular for apartment keepers since they don't need enormous enclosures and are generally quiet. Staff can help you match a species to your available space and daily schedule.
Can I bring my current reptile in for a health check?
Reptile shops aren't veterinary clinics, but experienced staff can often take a look and give you a general opinion if something seems off. For actual medical concerns, you'll want to contact a reptile-experienced vet in the Las Vegas area.
Do you carry reptile accessories beyond basic tanks and lights?
Most dedicated reptile shops stock a wider range of accessories than general pet stores, including thermostats, digital hygrometers, hides, climbing decor, and species-specific supplements. The selection tends to reflect what local hobbyists actually use and request.
How do I know if a reptile I'm buying is healthy?
Look for clear eyes, no visible wounds or mites, a body weight appropriate for its size, and active alert behavior during the day for diurnal species. Shop staff should be willing to let you observe the animal and answer questions about its feeding history before you purchase.
Is there a good time of year to buy reptiles in Las Vegas?
Spring and fall are generally ideal since extreme summer heat can complicate transport and stress sensitive animals. That said, indoor shops maintain controlled environments year-round, so animals inside the store are protected regardless of the season.
