The first Scales ‘N Tails Store opened it’s doors in Northglenn, Colorado in 1996 and reptile ownership has been spreading like wildfire ever since. It has been a pleasure for us to see the many people who have discovered the joy and satisfaction that comes with owning a pet reptile. For over 20 years, Scales ‘N Tails has been there to support reptile enthusiasts! We have grown to have 9 locations, spread across two states, and we have a strong desire to continue to add new locations.

Scales ‘N Tails was founded by Jim Whitt and Jim’s appreciation for reptiles started in his youth; while spending his free time in the high desert surrounding Las Vegas, Nevada. His commitment to animals and his dream of owning a business lead to the opening of the first Scales ‘N Tails store.
