Your destination for reptiles, amphibians, fish, invertebrates, feeders, supplies, and hands-on exotic animal experiences.

Family-owned • Education-focused • Located in Ambridge, PA Let us pair you with the perfect pet for you and your lifestyle! With a combined 40+ years of experience with a variety of animals, we pride ourselves in our knowledge and expertise. Come and experience what it's like to talk with people who have a real passion for what they do. Most of our animals come from local breeders who treat their

animals like pets, not money making machines. Our fish come from a facility that quarantines them for a week before we are even allowed to purchase them, and our birds come from two breeders, one for small birds and one for larger species, as well as taking in rescue and rehome flock members. Please, stop in for a visit. See for yourself the difference that caring people make!

Ever wonder what it takes to clean an albino monocled cobra enclosure? 👀🐍

Nina’s on cleaning duty, and this is definitely one of those jobs that makes people stop and watch.

Sometimes enclosure cleanings happen right during store hours, which means a regular visit can turn into getting a front-row seat to something you definitely don’t see every day.

Be honest… would YOU stand there and watch while the cobra enclosure gets cleaned? 👀

Want a freshwater setup without the whole “setting it up” part? 👀

Our nano tanks are already set up and ready to go! Pick your favorite, we’ll drain it down for the ride, and you take home the whole setup. 🐠🌿

Cute little tank. Zero setup headache. Just add water back in when you get home and enjoy.

Stop in and pick yours before your favorite one disappears!

It’s more than just picking out a new pet. 🦎
He got to set up his crested gecko’s new home right here in the shop, learn what goes into creating the right environment, and then pick out his new little friend to bring home.

That’s what we love about Off the Hook. We’re not your typical pet store — coming here is part shopping, part learning, and part hands-on experience. 💚

Our student volunteers putting in the work! 🙌
From pricing and stocking new items to reorganizing shelves and helping with daily animal care, there’s always something to learn (and always something to do 😅) around here.

We love giving our volunteers the chance to learn what really goes into keeping an exotic pet shop running behind the scenes. 🦎🐍

Izzy, our alligator snapping turtle, doesn’t always sit there pretending to be a statue while everyone asks, “Is he alive?” 😂

Sometimes he likes to prove everyone wrong and cruise around his tank… usually while begging for food, of course. 🐢

Just a bearded dragon casually showing off his latest tricks 😂 Who knew beardies could be this entertaining?

Pretty sure he’s expecting treats AND applause after that performance. 👏🦎

One of our awesome young volunteers getting hands-on and helping introduce a Chilean rose hair tarantula! 🕷️

We love seeing our younger volunteers build confidence, learn proper handling, and share what they know with the next generation of animal lovers. 💕
