ABOUT SHADOW'S REPTILES
Ever since I was a little kid, I've always loved all types of animals. I was obsessed, especially with dinosaurs, and that's probably why my obsession started with reptiles. When I was just around three years old, my grandfather gave me among plenty of other animals, Tank the now famous sulcata tortoise. My grandpa had a big five-acre farm with lots of different types of farm animals and my very own reptile room! I was living my dream but unfortunately in 2009 when I was 9 years old we lost the farm and all the animals with it. I was lucky enough to keep Tank.
At 16 years old I decided to get him a girlfriend named Luna. They had babies in the summer of 2018 and I started Shadow’s Reptiles! I created social media accounts and gained over a million followers from 2019-2020. With all the attention I started rescuing all types of animals people called in to rehome. I quickly got overwhelmed by social media and went into the shadows, pun intended, took a long break from social media, and focused on rescuing animals full time.
WHAT THEY ARE SAYING
First off if I could give Shadow’s reptiles a hundred stars on here I would!!!!! No doubt in my mind!!!!!

I had been researching and debating the idea of getting a sulcata hatchling for some time, and when I called Shadow's Reptiles, I was expecting to have to leave a voicemail and instead I was able to drive down and meet with him the same day. He was very responsive and helpful, forwarding plenty of information for caring for my new baby. Though there's no physical storefront, I didn't have to wait once I arrived to meet him. I was able to pick out which hatchling I wanted to bring home out of the selection he brought, as well as bags of the Mazuri diet and a food dish, along with a container to bring the tortoise home in. 100% was absolutely worth the 3 hour drive-- even though the flea market and pet store near me have sulcata hatchlings for sale, I feel so much better having purchased from a reputable breeder, and knowing exactly where this little dude came from, and that the care of this baby and its parents has been up to standard, that they're treated well and not just bred out for the money.

We booked Shadow’s Reptiles for a Summer Camp Show at our school. Our students really enjoyed the show and they had a great time! He brought a variety of different reptiles and even let the students engage with them. He’s also very reliable and professional which is hard to find when booking these types of shows. I would 10/10 recommend him for whatever event you may have! Thank you Shadows Reptiles!
Kimberly Velazquez
My 4yo is in love with dinosaurs so for his birthday i wanted to surprise him with a reptile encounter I searched a bunch of places and couldn't help but feel like I was getting ripped off for what they wanted to charge me. Then I found Shadow reptiles (Anthony) he is located in Miami but was willing to come to wpb and thank God because he was a blessing. He is so good with the kids he explains all the reptiles in detail and really takes his time to make sure everyone was happy. My son had the best birthday party because of his experience. You will not regret having shadow reptiles at your next event. People were calling me the next day to brag how amazing the whole experience was, and I'm so grateful to Anthony at shadow reptiles for making my babies birthday one he will never forget! Even my oldest son, who is 14, and daughter 12 and their friends enjoyed it. Truly AMAZING!!!
Dani Dee
Awesome, great packing and care of my lil red foot, a lot of communication and easy to get a hold of and fast responses. Great looking animal, bright and responsive, condition and a healthy tortoise. Also has a lot of tips and know how when it comes to care of the animal and is also available on his website. Extremely happy!!!
Steph draves
I highly recommend purchasing your reptile from Shadow's Reptiles! I just received my first tortoise and I could not have asked for a better experience. Anthony is dependable and is extremely communicative. Whether communication was through email or via text, I always had my questions answered and within a reasonable amount of time too. I was even able to pick out my tortoise before shipping, which was an added plus. It really made ordering online special. My baby tortoise was very well packaged and was delivered on time. My tortoise arrived healthy and very active. I'm a very happy customer.
Megan F
I'm so happy my husband and I went with Shadow's Reptiles! After looking at several other breeders and doing tons of research, we decided to drive to Miami to pick up our Sulcata baby and he made it super easy! We got to pick out which hatchling we wanted and we bought a bag of food to take home. He also sent us a playlist of videos with tips on how to raise/take care of him. His price is awesome, especially since they go for around $150 in the stores. I love that we know exactly where our baby came from too! Our baby is alert, active, and super friendly. We definitely recommend!
Lindsay G
Anthony from Shadow’s Reptile is not only great with animals, but entertaining, it’s like watching Steve Irwin… loved the bunnies, tortoises and Gary the Prairie Dog! Great price and entertainment all around.
Darilys Gonzalez
Fantastic event!! Everyone was so happy! And Anthony super professional! He was very respectful with the animals, and very organized with the kids! Shared with the kids his youtube and instagram channels to get them pumped before the party which added an extra cool factor for them! 100% recommended!
Juliana Plata Uribe
Anthony was wonderful! Easy booking and great communication. Our kids ages ranged 5-9 and there was something for everyone during the reptile show. Anthony took the time to present each animal and teach the kids about them. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the show! I would definitely recommend. Thank u again Anthony!
Marie Cancino
Anthony’s animal show birthday party was an absolute hit with the kids! He was knowledgeable and made sure each child felt special, answering their questions and even letting them pet some of the friendly animals. It was a truly unforgettable experience that left everyone buzzing with joy and fascination. Highly recommend for any animal-loving child!
Bat Hen Dayan
If I could give Anthony from shadows reptiles a thousand stars I would just because how he treated me & worked with me & answered any questions I ever had! Bought two torts from him & they are the best thing that’s happen to me in a very long time. I couldn’t thank Anthony anymore for everythinGz👌🏽👌🏽🤘🏽
Brandon Deneen
Anthony is awesome! I was nervous about purchasing online but everything went smoothly. He has been very quick with responding to any of my questions or concerns. He truly loves these animals and wants them to be happy and healthy. We love our little Tonka and are spoiling him!!!
Victoria Flowers
Recently I got a baby Russian tortoise. The shipping got delayed for a day and the box turned out to be little messy when I opened it. However, I like the baby! It is in very good health -- moving under the UVB light all day long can't stop... I also like the quick response from the seller. I really don't like sellers who never send videos or never answer calls. I wouldn't hesitate to get another baby tortoise from Shadow's after I become more experienced.
Lilei Zhao
Our 1 year old rhino came in and was just a pleasure to handle and enjoy right away. She is super healthy and hardy! Thank you so much for handling her well and raising her with so much care. She is so much fun and we can't wait for her to grow up with us so we can spoil her for her entire life. She is a joy.
Marvin Libby
Super realistic graphic!!! Awesome shirt all the way around!! Will be buying another one as a long sleeve soon!!! Definitely would give Anthony from shadows reptiles a 100000 stars if I could!!! Only one Shadows reptiles!!! In my opinion Anthony is the reptile god! Dude just is so dang good with all his animals & doing business it’s unbelievable!!! Truly one of a kind!
Brandon Deneen
Customer service was prompt and courteous. Anthony is very knowledgeable about Sulcata tortoises. I bought two baby Sulcata tortoises and they arrived promptly and safely. The darker one is shy, while the lighter one is very energetic and exploring everywhere. I have had them for three weeks and today I took them outside for some sunshine.
Phillip Shope
I purchased 3 Baby Sulcata Tortoises. So Far they are doing very well and are really adjusting to there new home! As For my experience buying from Shadow reptiles, it was a great decision!

Phenomenal show!!!!!! He was so patient, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. Every single detail was top notch and his communication was on point! The animals were absolutely adorable and well cared for. The children were giggling with delight, the parents were laughing, and my heart was full. He definitely took the pressure off of hosting an amazing party. The best choice we made was to hire Shadow’s Animal Show.

Wow wow what an amazing experience! We had Shadows Exotic Petting Zoo at our house for my sons 8th birthday and it was such a hit! There were snakes, tortoise, bearded dragons and other reptiles for the kids to pet and hold. My son wants a snake for his birthday so it was a great way for us to see if he really could handle the pet. The team was so great with the kids and really showed them a great time! I highly recommend them!!

I just bought a baby tortoise from Anthony and we are very happy with the little guy. He’s healthy and happy, and he arrived all the way to Texas, quickly. Beautiful baby! Anthony is very knowledgeable and has answered all my questions since I placed my order. And he’s a fast responder too 😀 He’s been more than helpful and his YouTube videos are the best! He has videos for everything! It’s easy to see he cares for his animals and ensures they are well taken care of, even after they leave his possession. SUPER nice guy and he has made this entire process very easy. Thank you, Anthony! If you are in the market for a tortoise, or anything else he offers, look no further! He’s your guy 👍🏼 🙂🙂 One more thing- I shopped around while looking for a tortoise and he also had the best prices, overall. Very happy with my purchase! Thank you, Anthony. I appreciate you very much.

Anthony came to the cocktail hour of our wedding and did a fantastic job!! From the initial coordination, to the gentle approach he took with our guests, and the fun it provided, we could not have asked for a better experience!! Would highly recommend booking for any event
Nicole Wittlin
Shadow is awesome! We hired him to do a show at our sons 7th birthday party and it was such a hit! We had a group of about 25 kids and let me tell you, Anthony was sooo kind and patient with them. He also spoke to the kids about each animal and respected their boundaries when some only wanted to touch an animal versus holding one. He made sure everyone got turns to hold the animals and take photos and really make it a special experience for them all! The kids left with a super unique and memorable experience and some awesome pictures! Don’t hesitate to book him. It was money very well spent!
Cristina Diaz
We recently had Anthony from Shadow’s Exotic Mobile Petting Zoo and Animal Shows perform at our 5-year-old’s birthday party, and he was fantastic! The kids loved him! Anthony is incredibly communicative and managed both the kids and reptiles with ease. Everyone at the party was thoroughly impressed. All the animals were friendly and appeared very healthy. We highly recommend this service for any event—it’s a unique and delightful experience! Thank you Anthony!
Ashley Quero
Couldn’t have asked for better assistance from Anthony as he provided timely response and insight on how to better take care of my baby red foot tortoise! She arrived very healthy and is still thriving! This had been an incredible experience, thank you again Anthony!
Michaela Murphy

We celebrated our sons 9th birthday party that ranged from ages 3-9. Everyone I mean everyone was so intrigued with the verity of exotic animals. Anthony was very energetic, knowledgeable, fun, and engaging. He was so kind to answer everyone questions and was always cautious with the kids and the animals assuring everyone was having a good time. It was so worth the experience and I would truly recommend this experience for birthday parties.

Sebastian Medellin
Shadow reptiles was a huge hit at my 5- year olds birthday. The kids enjoyed learning about the lizards and snakes and so did the parents! I saw every family ask for a business card at the end of the show. Anthony is respectful, punctual and informative!
naomi levi garcia
Great exciting experience for all the kids at my daughters birthday party. Anthony brought over his assortment of animals & each one was like a new present 🎁 for my daughter and her friends who would giggle with delight. Thank you again and recommend you to everyone!

For any future interest; I know exactly where to go, Shadow Replies 🙂
Rose Gold
We are new to the tortoise family & I was really nervous about “shipping” live animals! Just couldn’t find anywhere to actually go, look at & purchase baby sulcatas anywhere near us. Picked are babies up from a FedEx hub on the advice of these guys, being the weather is so cold here it would be safer for them. They are just adorable🥰, so far so good! If you’re looking into a tortoise this guy will walk you through the process the whole way! W/ videos in set up/feeding & care…. Couldn’t be happier❤️
Stephanie Quick
I ordered a tortoise as a birthday gift. They were so kind to work with me to pick a shipping date that worked for me. My tortoise arrived healthy and in good condition. I've had them for a couple weeks now and they continue to eat well and be in good health. We are so happy with this little guy and hope he lives a long healthy life.
Amber Clark
Shadow’s reptile show blew away my expectations. All the kids loved it and even the parents! It was fast and easy to book and was the highlight of our birthday party.

Ann Marie Perez
Our baby Sulcata loves his pellets and cactus pads. He came from Shadows reptiles too, a month ago. He arrived healthy and active. Still going strong.
Jeannie Johnson
My sulcata is very active and loves to eat. Arugula is his favorite. I gave him a few days to get used to his environment and he was very skittish at first but now he seems very comfortable and happy. I let him walk around my body or my apartment floor and he seems very happy so I am satisfied so far.
Nicholas Villano
I am very pleased with our new baby tortoise, videos were very helpful and informative, thank you for checking up on us!

My son decided at the very last minute that he wanted a reptile show to celebrate his 7th birthday and I didn’t know what to do. Needless to say Shadow Reptiles made his surprise so memorable. Anthony was very passionate, knowledgeable and patient with the group of kids. Everyone truly enjoyed themselves, especially the birthday boy who never left Anthony’s side 😁. Hiring Shadow Reptile was the best decision and an amazing addition to the party..
