About Us
D & K Reptile Sales, LLC has been in business since
October 2004. Owned and operated by my wife, Kylila, and
myself. We truly are a family first business. We look
forward to when our children, Connor, and Hannah, will be
working side by side with us… they already share our
passion. We have over 30 years of experience with exotic
animals, primarily reptiles and mammals. We started as a
small reptile breeder and wholesaler. We are of an animals
first mindset. We pride ourselves on the quality of our
animals and the network of keepers/breeders we have
developed over the years. Our first two years were spent
mostly on colubrids and small lizards. In late 2005 we
purchased our first ball python morphs and things really
took off for us. The first 7 years saw us outgrow our garage
and basement. We had always dreamed of owning our own pet
shop. In 2011 we began a search for a warehouse style
building to move our reptiles and rodents. We found the
perfect building just blocks from our house. It was perfect
to make the front a small retail space. A-List Animals was
created in May 2011 and officially opened in October of that
year.
We are Cincinnati’s only reptile specialty pet store.
We treat the store like a reptile show. Great selection and
low prices on everything you need from animals to supplies
to feeders. We have continued to add a number of breeders,
including ball pythons, Columbian boas, Angolan pythons,
sand boas, hognose, colubrids, crested geckos and bearded
dragons. We have also set up breeding groups of Monkey Tail
Skinks, Gila Monsters and Giant African Millipedes.
In 2010
I partnered with Chris MacMillan and John Chausmer to create
the Cin City Reptile Show, Inc. We may be biased but this is
the best monthly show in the Midwest. In 2013 our group
added the Kentucky Reptile Expo.
In November of 2013 I left
my full time job to manage the shop permanently. We have met
or exceeded all of our goals in the first year and our
future looks bright. We value each and every one of our
customers and strive to keep our customers for life.
Thank
you to you, our customers, for helping us realize our
dreams.
