LLL Reptile & Supply Oceanside

I'm a teacher looking to get another classroom pet that will be a good balance of "wow" factor, easy to care for, cheap to feed, not too big, small footprint, has a kid-proof enclosure, and affordable. It also has to be semi self-sufficient due to weekends the school is closed. I've had reptiles for my entire life but hadn't dabbled in anything tropical yet. The store is making these beautiful terrariums for tropical animals, and I was sold.

I had TONS of questions for Jesus, who diligently took the time to answer them all. We easily spent an hour just going over logistics. He showed me the options for equipment and animals, explained how everything would work, and was able to help me make contingency plans for various issues that might arise (as all teachers do 🤣) over the weekends or days I was out. I wanted to be as informed as possible so I could teach my students about their new pets.

I was very happy and learned a ton, and I'm excited for my students to get to experience a mini ecosystem! I've been a customer of LLL since I was a child and am so excited they are still giving the best customer service 20 years later. Thank you, Jesus, for helping inspire the next generation of reptile lovers!

My pretty boy from LLL! The staff were all super helpful and the chameleon we got was really healthy and adapted to his new home right away. He was eating like a champ from day 1 and not scared at all because the staff at the store took the time to socialize him. Plus, they have all the supplies you need to build great reptile homes.

I was impressed by the availability of reptile supplies. I heard through the grapevine that the dart frogs have been hybrid. I can't confirm this but the prices for what they have is very reasonable. I will definitely come by for more supplies.

Edit: added another star. I am glad to hear the dart frogs are pure breed. 👌

Thank you Shawn for all your knowledge & help with both products & animals. The store is always stocked with everything I need for my “Zoo” 😂. And the prices can’t be beat!

This store is in downtown Oceanside, near lots of cool places. Once you come inside, the first thing you notice is the strong, not-so-great smell. That's bound to happen with reptile stores. The next you notice how big this place is! This LLL is much bigger than the one in Escondido. It is probably triple the size. They have enclosures for all types of pets, things to put inside of them, cleaning supplies, nutrients, food, then of course animals you can buy. They have snakes, frogs, turtles, lizards, geckos, spiders, and more.
