Our store of the month for October is in Aurora, Colorado! Chad New first opened this pet store almost 10 years ago as a dream to pursue his hobby and “retire from the real world.” This is the largest pet store in Colorado and boasts 7500 square feet of space devoted to reptiles, amphibians, insects, freshwater aquatics, and small mammals!

When you first walk in, you’re greeted by a huge terrarium that is literally a Nature Box. It’s Madagascar-themed and contains several species of mantellas. Near this stunning terrarium are several other display tanks housing Gidgee skinks and banana iguanas, a sulcata tortoise pen, and an aquarium housing their store mascot, Wilbur the fly river turtle!

Nature Box is known for its exceptional customer service, animal care recommendations, and community involvement. They host terrarium-building workshops, reptile care workshops, seasonal community events, and a Christmas Toy Drive. They keep a diverse selection of unique animals and are truly an unforgettable experience to visit. If you’re near Aurora, Colorado, make sure to give them a visit!
