Reptile House preparing to open at the Dulles Town Center

A new store and event center is coming to the Dulles Town Center shopping mall — and it all revolves around reptiles, snakes, spiders and other unique creatures. It will be called Reptile House and it’s expected to open sometime in December.

It’s coming from the folks who operate Bobby G. Pets Reptile Entertainment, a local company that takes various creepy crawlies to parties and other events.

The new Reptile House will be both a “pet” store — in the sense that some of the creatures will be available for sale — and also an educational event space with a petting zoo for birthday parties, school groups and so forth.

Reptile House is coming to a 2,900 s.f. spot on the lower level of the DTC across from Lenscrafters. So if you think you see a lizard or snake or a spider sneaking around the mall, you can go right over and get your eyes checked.
