Rick will always take time to educate you, and is very knowledgeable with reptiles. Although they are by appointment only they do the best to get back with you. Thanks for taking care of our turtle and getting him back to being healthy again. Highly recommend. Thank you. 🦎🐢 View on Google (opens in new tab)
