Welcome to Zoo Med Laboratories!
Here at Zoo Med, animals are our passion, and for 49 years we have made it our mission to supply the very best in exotic pet foods, reptile products, and reptile habitats. As a company made up of reptile hobbyists, we strive to provide the supplies and knowledge needed to successfully care for reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects and other exotic pets to keep them happy and healthy.
The reptile supplies, accessories, and tools we manufacture are first tested at our office on the private collection of animals we house here. Many of us have desk pets, and many of those desks are wedged into places inbetween the 200+ terrariums, aquariums, paludariums, and other habitats at our facility. Inside our Animal Room we house over 90 species ranging from chameleons, geckos, skinks, frogs, fish, newts, tarantulas, and beetles. Outside in our Turtle Nirvana Greenhouse, we care for 30 species of turtles and tortoises, several of which are endangered.
Breeding and caring for these animals daily sets us apart by giving us a clear understanding of fellow hobbyists’ needs and those of their animals. We love our pets and truly are a company of pet people for pet people!
Whether you are an experienced reptile snake breeder or gecko breeder working with hundreds of animals, or you’re looking into picking up your first pet bearded dragon, Zoo Med is sure to have what you need.

Congratulations to @agocs.exotics in Fort Myers, FL for being our June Store of the Month! Agocs Exotics opened to provide quality reptiles, invertebrates and healthy feeders to the southwest Florida community in April 2022. This reptile store is unique in that each family member, Jodi, Ed, Caitlyn, Eddie, Maddy & Tyler, have specialties and interests that bring value to the business and customers.
In January 2026, Agocs Exotics moved to a larger location with 2,500 square feet of retail space. When you visit the store, you can expect to see store mascots including Ian, a ball python rescued and named after the destructive category 5 Hurricane that made landfall in this area. Other store mascots include Beth a yellow rat snake, Spud an Egyptian Uromastyx, Morticia a Brazilian Giant White Knee tarantula & Jessie a bearded dragon. Also look for the colony of Socotra Island Blue Baboon tarantulas (Monocentropus balfouri) which is rare to see a community of tarantulas that are happy living together!
They take pride in the large assortment of high-quality feeders, to give reptiles the biggest diet diversity and to provide enrichment. They personally breed the rodents & discoid roaches, to ensure feeders are gut loaded to provide the very best diet for their customers pets. Arachnid and invertebrate enthusiasts drive long distances to come to this store as the employees have over 50 years of hands-on experience keeping and breeding tarantulas.
When you are in Florida, be sure to stop in Agocs Exotics off I-75 in North Fort Myers!

The process! 🎨🖌️➡️
This 18x18x24 Naturalistic Terrarium was built to display this lovely Bearded Anole. We used our new Bio Blend substate to satisfy the Areca Palms & Bird’s Nest Fern, and a variety of different Cork Rounds and Branches for the hardscape. The combination created the perfect web for this young Bearded Anole to navigate and feel secure!

Congratulations to Exotic Pet Birds & More @exoticpetbirdsinc for being our May store of the month! Jamie and Sal Salafia took their first steps into the pet industry in 2017 opening a bird only store out of an extra room in their house. Over the course of the next three years they expanded into a stand only store in Webster NY with 1,700 square feet of space. As the business experienced success they saw their next calling and added reptile as well as expanding the store to over 7,000 square feet. Then in 2025 the Salafias decided it was time to go big and moved to Henrietta, NY into a space with almost 10,000 square feet and added 3 new categories in dog, cat and small animals!
Uniquely Exotic Pet Birds actually breeds many of the birds that are available in the store, including most of the hook-bills. The avian nursery located centrally in the store, allows customers the unique experience to witness eggs hatching, babies being hand-fed and even DNA tests being done.
Exotic Pet Birds is located in Henrietta, NY, and a must stop for any kind of pet lover!
