About
Adam's Pet Shop in Tulsa, Oklahoma is primarily a reptile and exotic animal destination, but it earns a mention in the aquarium world for its freshwater fish offerings — including goldfish — and its robust selection of vivarium and terrarium supplies that crossover into the planted tank and bioactive enclosure space. Located in Square One, this family-run shop is compact but densely packed with inventory, from live feeder rats (both live and frozen) to springtails, isopods, and everything needed to build a bioactive vivarium or terrarium from scratch. Owner Adam is the heart and soul of the operation.
Reviewers consistently praise his deep knowledge across a wide spectrum of animals — bearded dragons, ball pythons, geckos, tegus, tortoises, sugar gliders, parrots, and arachnids all share floor space in this eclectic shop. He's the kind of owner who will help you identify the sex and age of your bearded dragon, recommend vitamin A supplements for your tortoise, or spend genuine time helping a family pick the right bird without any sales pressure. The shop carries an impressive variety of reptile products, enclosure-building supplies, and feeder insects like crickets and worms.
Customers note fair prices overall and an above-standard atmosphere, with a bone art display adding a quirky visual touch. Several reviewers highlight the bioactive enclosures Adam maintains for his animals, reflecting his personal commitment to naturalistic setups. It's worth noting that opinions on the store are polarized — some visitors have raised concerns about enclosure cleanliness and animal housing conditions, while many others praise the care given to the animals and the spotless presentation.
The majority of the 352 reviews land firmly positive, with repeat customers who rely on Adam's for ongoing pet supply needs. For Tulsa residents looking to support a locally owned shop with personality and genuine expertise in exotic animals, reptile supplies, and freshwater fish, Adam's Pet Shop delivers an experience that big-box stores simply cannot replicate. The shop bird alone is worth a visit.

— Trenton Harper5.0a month ago“haven't been there yet going there today I have read the reviews and some are pretty bad and some are really good so I am going there today to see for myself. this is my first time being a reptile owner I have dying to get a bearded dragon and now I can.”
— Evelyn Buckner5.0a month ago“Went in to see these animals living in bad conditions. Dirty enclosures, nasty glass, it smells atrocious in there. The big tortoise kennel was full of poop, substrate all over the floor, the frozen rat fridge was absolutely disgusting with who knows what. Like how is this place even open, it seems like animal neglect all around. Very sad to see all the life in there living like that”

— Justin Walters5.03 months ago“Iv been a hobbyist in the reptile world, mainly ball pythons and Gecko’s 🦎. This shop by my opinion isn’t helpful, I found them deceptive and full of possible lies. Be careful at this shop. The open hours are not reliable and the owner seems to be “struggling”.”
— John Smith1.03 months ago“Inside is filthy, cages dont seem well maintained, the entire place reeks of ammonia. There was a very large rabbit housed in a very small enclosure. My husband and son love reptiles and we were quite disappointed with this establishment. Not likely to return unless something is done to improve the quality of the animals care.”
