All About Gx3
From Breeders to Sacramento's Only Reptile Shop
Gx3 Reptiles was started by Grant and Alexandra Garton back in 2010 in Sacramento, CA. What began as a passion for breeding reptiles quickly grew into something much bigger. For years, they focused on online sales, building a reputation for producing some of the highest-quality captive-bred animals in the region.
In May 2018, that passion became a brick-and-mortar reality when they opened the doors to Sacramento's only dedicated reptile shop at 2700 Fruitridge Road. The shop quickly became a hub for reptile enthusiasts, families, and curious newcomers alike.
Today, Gx3 Reptiles is more than a pet store. It's a place where kids discover the wonder of nature, where experienced herpers find rare and healthy animals, and where everyone receives the same level of care and expertise — whether you're buying your first gecko or your fiftieth snake.

Where Kids Discover Nature's Wonders
At Gx3, we believe that hands-on experiences with animals can spark a lifelong love of nature in children. Our shop is designed to be welcoming and safe for families, with knowledgeable staff who love sharing their passion with visitors of all ages.
Whether it's holding a baby bearded dragon for the first time or learning about the life cycle of a snake, we create moments that kids remember forever. We also offer backstage tours where families can go behind the scenes of our breeding facility for an unforgettable educational experience.
