I liked it! I have a different name on Facebook so you won't recognize me.

You've been given a lot of good advice. I do think it's possible for a reptile centric shop to work. That might come from having LLL Reptile down the road (and up the road and over the hill....).

That said, note what a presence they are on the internet! You definitely want to tap the web for customers (which, given your facebook page) I think you know.

As for walk ins, I have to second the "clean" concept. Nothing is more of a turn off than walking into a store and thinking "hmmmmm.....cricket poop and dead crickets".

Also....don't mask it with incense! That does not work at all.

thanks you! and dont worry, incense is actually dangerous in low ventilation areas, dont wanna hurt the animals! the only clean smell people are gunna be smelling, is true cleanliness :3

I liked it too (I'm Michelle Boarts Ferry on there). Best of luck to you, you are off to a great start. Ever think about moving to Naples and opening it down here? We have much better winters
