Metazotics—Henderson

Metazotics in Henderson, Kentucky is a dedicated reptile and exotic pet store — not a fish store — but it's worth knowing about if you're in the local pet community. Opened as a second location alongside their Chandler store, this Henderson shop has quickly become the go-to destination for reptile enthusiasts across the region. The store specializes in reptiles and exotic animals: bearded dragons, ball pythons, chameleons, tree frogs, snakes, and even tarantula slings.

They stock a full range of enclosures, accessories, and feeder insects including crickets in multiple sizes and hornworms at reasonable prices. Reviewers consistently praise the clean, well-organized layout where animals are displayed with obvious care and dedication. What sets Metazotics apart is the staff.

Names like Kaylee, Drew, and owner Clint come up repeatedly in reviews. These aren't just salespeople — they're genuine enthusiasts who take time to answer every question, especially for first-time reptile owners. One customer credits the staff with helping her become comfortable enough to own a snake, and she's since added tree frogs, a chameleon, and a bearded dragon to her collection.

Another reviewer mentions their daughter bought a baby ball python for just $65, highlighting the store's accessible pricing. The team is known for their presence at reptile and exotics expos, and reviewers note they've partnered with major names in the industry. The store functions as a true one-stop shop — one family was able to finish outfitting their snake tank in a single visit, even finding long feeding tongs they'd been searching for.

With 31 reviews averaging a perfect 5-star rating, Metazotics Henderson has earned a devoted following. It's important to note this is a reptile-focused store rather than an aquarium shop, so fish hobbyists should look elsewhere for aquatic livestock and supplies. But for anyone in Henderson with a passion for scales, shells, or slings, this is clearly the place.
