🐍 **HELLO, BENONI! WE’RE HOME! 🐢🐠**

For those who don’t know us yet, we’ve been Benoni residents our entire lives, and we’re excited to bring our business back to our home town! ❤️

We originally took over a pet shop in Primrose, and about 3 months ago, we decided it was time for a new chapter and relocated to **Rynfield, Benoni!**

We specialise in reptiles and exotic animals, and we’re passionate about providing quality animals, feeders and everything needed to keep them thriving. 🦎🐍🕷️

We’ll also be expanding our aquatic side soon, with an aquarium and aquascaping section on the way! 🐠🌿

**🔥 HUGE CLEARANCE SPECIALS! 🔥**

While we focus on our new direction, we’re running some massive specials on selected clearance stock, including:

🐦 Bird products
🐱 Cat products
🐶 Dog products
🐹 Hamster and small mammal products

Whether you’re a fellow reptile enthusiast, a fishkeeper, or simply looking for a bargain for your furry or feathered family members, pop in and see what we have available!

We’d love to meet more of our local community, so please feel free to pop in, say hello, and support a local business. Every bit of support means the world to us! 🙌

The Living Vivarium and Inmates
Unit 5, Rynfield Drapes Centre
