New Home for Scales & Tails

We Moved! Our lease was up at our old location and as many of you know we were out growing the place very quickly. Our new facility is located at:

3588 S. 1950 W., Suite #13
West Valley City, UT

It is very close to 3500 S and I-215 just east a couple blocks from Valley Fair Mall. Currently we are not allowed to host parties or workshops at our facility until we can install a second bathroom so please be patient with us while we are under construction.

Here are a few pictures of the new place.

Chelonians and the Hare

This month we are focusing on Chelonians!!  For those of you who are new to the reptile world, Chelonians are Turtles, Tortoises, and Terrapins.  These are truly amazing creatures and we are going to take a closer look at where they live, what they eat and whether or not they can really come out of their shells!  Also, for the first time in 3 years, we’ve finally been able to hatch a couple Redfoot Tortoises of our own! You will be some of the first people to get to see the babies up close and personal!  Oh!!  And don’t forget the race!!  Our annual Tortoise & the Hare race will be up for grabs.  The first year the Tortoise won, then last year the Hare won.  Who do you think will win this year for the tie breaker???  You will have to come to find out!

**Please note that this will be our last Reptile Rookie night in our current shop.  Next month we will be moved into our new location.**
