Introducing EEE: Tucson's Newest Reptile & Amphibian Center for Education & Retail

I'm excited to show you all what I've been doing the past year and a half! After getting out of the Air Force in 2013 with the goal to open up a different style of reptile and amphibian center in Tucson, AZ it's finally come to fruition.

I didn't want to just make another run-of-the-mill style pet shop. There are some amazing specialty stores throughout the United States but they are few and far between. I wanted to be the change I desired in the retail community focusing on free public education in schools and libraries, a variety of to-the-core products, diversity in species, as well as displaying different style housing options from tub style setups to complete living vivariums and everything in between. I want to attract long term customers, not impulse purchasers by having in depth conversations with future pet owners about the commitment these animals require and thrive on. We aim to continue providing essential hard to find products as well and as an ever expanding outlet of species. We carry everything from the most commonly kept reptiles and amphibians to the species seldom seen in our hobby.

Apart from our retail location we also have a private breeding facility that focuses on Ball Pythons, African Fat-Tailed Geckos, obscure Colubrids, and continued expansion of species. Our goal is education, catering to those just getting into the hobby to advanced hobbyists alike while never ceasing to advance our practices, goals, and learning.

Ever Evolving Exotics has now been open for around 4 months I can't wait to see where we are at after a year!

Thanks for reading,
Lee

Very cool! congrats on the awesome looking place!
I live in Mesa and would love to take a trip down sometime with my girlfriend and check it out

I don't suppose you'll be opening a store in Northeast Ohio anytime soon? I would quit my current job in a heartbeat to come work with you.

Best of luck with your efforts from one USAF Vet to another :salute:

Crazy, I am PCSing in May to D-M from Europe. Perfect timing ,I will definitely be visiting your shop. I'm sure we will have some conversations. Good luck with your shop.

Very cool, congrats!

Wow!

I just signed up for this forum about 10 minutes ago, not due to my love of ball pythons (don't get me wrong, I dig snakes) but because I'm getting really into Pacman Frogs and I know there's a small but enthusiastic amphibian fans section.

Anyway, I happen to live in Tucson and will definately be needing plenty of goods in the future as I begin to build my frog empire.

I'm super excited about your store. I might even be interested in doing some volunteer work for you guys free of charge ( I'm out of work anyway) in exchange for some knowledge of frogs and their breeding and care.

Good luck guys. On our next day off me and my lady friend will come by and make a purchase.

What is your actual street address?

Also are you aware of a store called Reptile Specialists? I recently had a very positive experience with the guy who works the morning shift there, didn't catch his name, but they, like you, seem to be a more in depth, caring kind of shop.

Congrats and good luck. It looks awesome
