Thank you, truly, to every single person who has supported us on our live TikToks — we just hit 5,000 followers on our live streams, and that number means more to us than we can explain.
When we first started going live, it wasn’t about numbers or algorithms. It was about turning on a camera in our little store, showing our animals some love, answering questions, and letting people hang out with us after long days. Some nights it was quiet. Some nights it was chaotic. Some nights it was just us, the reptiles, and a couple familiar usernames that kept coming back again and again.
Over time, those usernames became regulars. Regulars became friends. Friends became part of the store in a way we never expected. People learned the animals’ names, asked about their moods, worried when one didn’t eat, celebrated when another finally did. You didn’t just watch — you cared.
This store has always been built on passion, not shortcuts. On learning, improving, and doing better every day for the animals and the people who love them. The lives became an extension of that — a place where curiosity was welcome, mistakes were learning moments, and excitement was shared in real time.
Hitting 5,000 followers feels less like a milestone and more like a reminder that what we’re building matters. That a small local shop can reach far beyond its walls. That community can exist in the most unexpected places — even on a phone screen, surrounded by geckos, snakes, fish tanks, and the occasional chaos.
So thank you for being here. Thank you for tapping in, asking questions, laughing with us, learning with us, and supporting a 100% locally owned shop that truly couldn’t do this without you.
This is just the beginning. 🦎💚
