A new exotic reptile store called The Serpentarium is now open along South Central Expressway in McKinney, Manager Darius Davis said.

The store sells supplies and services for exotic reptiles, Davis said. The Serpentarium also sells reptiles such as snakes, lizards and tortoises. The store is staffed with reptile specialists that ensure any animal sold is sent home with the proper products to ensure they live a full life, Davis said.

“We’re here to really show the community that reptiles are awesome; amphibians are awesome,” he said. “We just want to share that love that we have for reptiles to everybody else.”
