Adam's Pet Shop

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.
