ForTheBalls Exotic Reptiles & Supplies

I will start by saying, we found this store on a simple whim as we recently moved to the San Tan/Florence line recently and didn’t even know it was stationed in the same strip we frequent quite often (Filiberto’s is our shameful weakness). It’s two suites to the right of Fili’s and I’ve probably walked past it a few dozen times. When I did a search this morning on local Reptile Shops, this was the closest.

Upon entry one thing was unexpected... This is a well taken care of, organized and clean store. I’ve been to quite a few establishments in the industry and although I completely understand the level of maintenance it takes to keep a storefront such as this clean, For The Balls maintains a higher standard.

They have a very diverse stock and if I brought more money with me, I probably would’ve left with a lot more then we did (the chameleon was SO tempting!).

We took home two of their baby bearded dragons and honestly, we couldn’t be happier! They both have apparently been handled well and are very adjusted to human interaction which is a huge relief (most of the time you have at least a short adjustment period with any living thing with new surroundings). This shows the level of care they put into the reptiles they house!

The owner has a vast amount of knowledge for every creature he has, and won’t try to sell you on anything you don’t need which is nice to find nowadays! I went back a second time and ended up purchasing a few more things (we bought one dragon the first go round then I got the wifey eyes and “But it needs a friend...” and ended up buying the second on the next run in).

Long story wrapped up, I will be going to Steve with anything correlated to reptile affairs going forward and will recommend you to everyone who asks!

...And I WILL be back for that Chameleon... 😁

Such an awesome experience. All of the staff are attentive and knowledgeable. My son had a blast looking at all of the reptiles and we will be back again soon.

I love this store. I purchase all my bearded dragons food and accessories here. The owner is very kind and is always willing to teach me ways to keep my bearded dragon happy and healthy. So happy to have this store so close to home. I 100% recommend checking out this up and coming reptile store.
