OUR HISTORY

BigAppleHerp.com began in New York City in 1993 as Big Apple Herpetological when Jurassic Park was the blockbuster summer movie and everyone seemed to be purchasing reptiles as pets. We, too, found ourselves falling in love with these wonderful creatures. We wanted the very best for our reptiles, but we found it difficult to find quality supplies and expert advice on how to care for the animals we so loved.

After completing exhaustive amounts of research on how to care for reptiles properly, we gained the knowledge we needed to take care of our pets. We decided then that we would share and provide others with the knowledge we acquired of the herpetological field.

Today, BigAppleHerp.com is one of the largest online retailers of live reptiles and feeders in the United States. We service customers all over the United States including museums, zoos, and educational institutions. We are committed to bringing innovative and superior animals to the people who love them.
