Granite State Geckos in Lancaster, New Hampshire is primarily a reptile and pet supply store rather than a fish shop, but it has earned a devoted following across the region for its impeccable care standards and the expertise of owner Stephanie. Customers drive up to two hours to visit, and the consensus is clear: this is a destination worth the trip. The store specializes in leopard geckos, crested geckos, bearded dragons, ball pythons, tree frogs, and other reptiles, with Stephanie breeding and raising many of the animals herself.
Reviewers consistently praise the health and beauty of the animals — one customer named their new leopard gecko Mango after spending an extended session being introduced to multiple geckos before choosing. The shop also stocks a full range of reptile supplies including tanks, lighting, heating equipment, and feeder insects like crickets, mealworms, and frozen rats and mice. Several reviewers specifically note the quality of the feeder bugs, calling them healthy and odor-free.
What sets Granite State Geckos apart is Stephanie's hands-on approach to customer education. She walks new reptile owners through every aspect of care — from habitat setup to feeding schedules — and remains available for follow-up questions via Facebook and other channels. Multiple reviewers describe how she helped their children pick out their first pet, making the experience memorable for the whole family.
She also ships animals for customers who can't visit in person. The store itself draws frequent compliments for its cleanliness, colorful presentation, and organized layout. A rewards program offers tangible savings for repeat customers.
Beyond reptiles, Stephanie has expanded into dog and cat supplies, including treats — she's been known to hand out free samples. With a perfect five-star rating across more than twenty reviews, Granite State Geckos has become Lancaster's go-to destination for reptile enthusiasts across northern New Hampshire. Stephanie's genuine passion and encyclopedic knowledge make every visit feel personal.

Havnt even visited yet but they were the only ones to get back to me thru Facebook about whether or not they carried feeder bugs for lizards and they're answer was yes. Can't wait to visit their shop in August, great customer service.

This place is amazing ! We’ve past here a million times and finally stopped in today. I can’t remember the owners name but she was so sweet and helpful. We told her all about our fur and depletion baby’s and she even gave us some free samples for car and dog treats. Her store is very clean and organized. The reptiles in the store are in proper tanks and they are all clean. She has a variety of leapoard geckos along with pythons frogs, crested geckos and bearded dragons, along with all the supplies, tanks , toys , lighting , bugs and food. 10/10 will be stopping here again! Thank you !

I cannot thank Stephanie enough for the time she spent with and introducing me to so many beautiful leopard geckos last week. I had a difficult time choosing which little girl to adopt! I'd have adopted several if I could have snuck them all into the house unnoticed 😉 Was it worth a 2 hour drive from home? Abso-freakin-lutely. Mango is a cutie and we already love her!

Our favorite store! Beautiful and well taken care of pets available, and a wonderful selection of supplies. We always leave with great stuff for our animals, and this last time we purchased a gorgeous baby male ball python.
