About
Tucked into the small city of Antigo, Wisconsin, Too Many Exotics LLC has carved out a niche as a destination shop for Northern Wisconsin's exotic pet enthusiasts — and its freshwater fish selection is a significant part of the draw. Reviewers frequently mention the store's unique and ever-changing inventory of fish alongside reptiles, birds, and small mammals, making each visit feel like a discovery. One regular customer describes periodically stopping in to see what special fish and creatures the store has sourced, and notes that purchases have been healthy and fairly priced additions to multiple tanks at home.
The shop is organized into distinct rooms, including a dedicated reptile space where visitors can admire animals like Savannah monitors, caiman, king snakes, and corn snakes. Shelves are stocked with substrates, enclosures, feeders, and supplies from reputable brands — enough that reviewers describe it as a one-stop shop for exotic animal keepers. The owner's willingness to source specific animals on request, like a particular king snake for one customer's son, and ensure the animal is healthy and eating before completing the sale, speaks to a hands-on, relationship-driven approach.
Staff interactions consistently earn praise. Multiple reviewers highlight how the owner and employees take time to educate customers — walking a first-time jumping spider keeper through habitat setup, advising on bearded dragon care, or fielding an endless stream of toddler questions with patience. That personal touch extends to the phone, where callers report getting genuinely helpful guidance before even walking through the door.
It's worth noting that a handful of reviews raise concerns about animal health, including reports of sick reptiles and fish with parasites. These experiences appear to be outliers against the broader pattern of positive feedback, but they're worth keeping in mind. For aquarists and exotic pet keepers across Northern Wisconsin who are used to driving long distances for quality livestock and supplies, Too Many Exotics offers a local option with competitive prices and a proprietor who clearly loves what she does.
Several customers specifically mention the drive being worth it — a telling endorsement for a small-town shop.

Customer reviews
“Awesome caring individual! Got a pregnant gp from another store awhile back and she gave great advice to walk me through what to expect”
— S Reeds5.02 months ago“I got a corn snake with a shed so stuck it broke his tail. I thought it was just a one time thing and ended up buying another snake and some fish. 3 days later I find out the snake has a stuck shed, and respiratory issues and the fish all have worms. This is not a OK way for animals to live.”
