Reptiles have been a life-long passion for Jim Whitt, Owner of Scales 'N Tails. "Growing up in Las Vegas, I'd go out into the desert and bring back all kinds of creatures," he says. As a truck driver, Whitt had a unique dream: he wanted to open a store of his own and surround himself with reptiles.

And that's exactly what he did.

Now, he's bringing those reptiles to you. If your next pet will be a python, boa constrictor, bearded dragon, monitor, colubrid, tarantula, gecko, tree frog, turtle, tortoise, millipede, centipede, caiman, water dragon, scorpion, dart frog, or iguana, then head straight to Scales 'N Tails-Castle Rock.

Not only will you find every form of reptile you could possibly imagine, but you'll also be treated to a jungle experience inside the store. "Many stores are just four white walls," says Whitt.  "I wanted Scales 'N Tails to be different, so I made every room a jungle." In fact, Whitt likes to say that his stores are so well decorated he could charge for admittance.

Scales 'N Tails is also your one stop shop for feed and supplies. "We sell one million crickets, and thousands of rodents every month," laughs Whitt. So, if your python needs a little snack, you know where to send him.

When you deal with Scales 'N Tails, you're dealing with an established business that has been recognized multiple times for its excellence in the industry. Scales 'N Tails is a three-time recipient of the Retailer of the Year award given by Pet Product News and they are even featured in the book Colorado Treasures. The stores also carry, and use, the full line of Zoo Med reptile supplies. Whitt proudly states, "When your pet's health and happiness are a priority, then Zoo Med is the brand for you. Their products are really all we use to care for the many animals in our stores." Staff knowledge coupled with superior Zoo Med products ensures that every Scales 'N Tails Customer is more than capable of providing excellent care for their new pet.
