About
A pet store and more is, despite the name and despite turning up when Pueblo shoppers search for a fish store, first and foremost an exotic-animal destination — one of the most passionate you'll find in southern Colorado. Don't walk in expecting dog kibble or cat toys; this is a shop built for reptile, amphibian, and invertebrate keepers, stocked wall to wall with snakes, lizards, frogs, arachnids, and the supplies to keep them thriving. The aquatic side is anchored by axolotls for sale in Pueblo, CO — the freshwater salamander that pulls in aquarium hobbyists right alongside the reptile crowd — plus pacman frogs for the amphibian-curious.
Owner Ron is the name that comes up again and again. Reviewers describe him as incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely helpful, the kind of owner who'll spend real time walking a first-timer through proper husbandry or carry supplies out to the car without being asked. One customer drove down from Colorado Springs just to see the shop and left impressed by its setup and organization.
The rest of the staff earns the same praise — friendly, professional, and happy to let you linger and watch the animals without feeling rushed. The livestock is the draw. Customers rave about the variety of morphs across species, from bearded dragons and leopard geckos to corn snakes — one shopper proudly showed off a beautiful Amaretto corn snake — plus other snakes and even a baby red tegu.
Beyond the animals, the dry-goods wall is deep enough to cover everything in one stop: substrates, lighting, enclosure décor, Pangea gecko diet, and feeder crickets that customers swear outlast the big-box competition. Reviewers consistently call the store clean, well-organized, and fairly priced. For Pueblo's exotic-pet community, Beasties is less a store than a resource — a welcoming, walk-in shop where nervous first-time keepers leave confident and fully equipped.
