Exotic Life Fish & Reptiles Chatsworth, California

Great friendly down to earth staff.

Nice place, very good service

Unprofessional don’t waste your time

If you are in the market for a new fish dog or turtle, there is no better place to get educated and buy with confidence. We've bought 2 types of frogs and 2 types of turtles from them. Rusty is the best.

Very knowledgeable with all aspects of my Red Earred Slider.

Never have I been into a petstore where I received such great caring advice. Can't wait to get home and put all the advice to use and hopefully my chameleon "Chula" will be on her way back to her old self again.

Very knowledgeable. Rusty and Fam are top notch!

They have a good selection, are knowledgeable as far as I can tell (I don’t know much beyond the basics about reptiles), and the associates are usually friendly and helpful. Pricier than chain stores but have higher quality product so there you go. I’d suggest this shop.

Great little store found out about it through a friend went to check it out the staff was very informative the owner was a very nice man overall had a great experience if you're into reptiles or anything aquatic this is the place to check out

Great selection of reptiles, amphibians, fish and others. Rusty, his family, and staff are all super friendly and knowledgeable and willing to work good deals with their customers. There are other chain and local pets shops closer to me but it's worth the extra drive for me to the valley for the selection and deals I find here.

Must check out! Great selection and they take care of their animals. The whole staff was attentive and professional. We gained so much knowledge from our visit and even took home a bearded dragon. We are so glad we found this place and again we were so impressed! Thank you :)

A cool mix of fish and reptiles. Sales people were pretty good too. Owner was less than helpful, he asked that we google details of his reptiles as opposed to seeking the advice of his staff There are better choices. Try Painted Reptile for reptiles and a true tropical fish store for fish

The staff there is awesome I would give it a 10 out of a 10 Stars just a great atmosphere the staff is knowledgeable and will go out of their way to help you with any situation you may have

i brought my kids here to buy a couple fish for our new fish tank. their fish are a little over priced but since they are quality fish i didnt have an issue paying extra.

When it comes to setting up a fish tank you can approach it as filling a container with water and throw in some plastic novelty toys and very hardy fish that can take abuse... or you approach it as living breathing thing that needs a correct setup in order to thrive and bring peace and beauty to your home. I'm trying to do the latter. This place can accommodate such aspirations. The owner, manager Rusty will give you the correct mindset and tools to achieve your goals.

I love this store. Better than petco and pet smart for certain things.

Rusty has been in business for a long time, knows what he is talking about, I have been going to his store for years, he and his wife are great people and the store is spotless so make a trip to see them as there are not a lot of good reptile places left.

Friendly place with a lot to offer. I’ve found the prices to be reasonable and the stock to be healthy.

Great place very friendly staff definitely know a lot more than I do

Rusty and his staff are awesome, very informative and helpful. They have some really cool animal selection as the name says exotic animals. Thats what you'll find there!

Great store. Well-informed staff. Great stock at reasonable prices. Some of the bad reviews sound like people who sought medical advice from a pet store about animals they bought elsewhere, or else people who wanted to pick up gear without actually learning how to use it or care for the animal they already had. This store is great. *Especially* if you are new to keeping reptiles/amphibians, I encourage you to take the time and give them a chance. I heard them going over care with a few novice fish/reptile keepers, and they really know their stuff. They want to make sure that you do, too, for the good of the animal and your ability to enjoy it. ;) And the fly river turtle they have on display is worth the trip, alone. Go check her out.

Very knowledgeable, went in not knowing much and felt no pressure to buy.

Over the top in knowledge, service, selection and quality. Real people running a real and trusted business. My main destination for my aquarium needs.

Great people. Vary knowledgeable fair prices. I'm glad I found them again.

The people who work here are hard working and intelligent. I love the turtle in the store. Clean place, all animals well cared for. I've been here multiple times, and I know that everyone who works here are the best!! :)

Great store! Owner is professional and knowledgeable. The store carries a lot of supplies.

Great place well stocked and clean and friendly people and knowledgeable

Super reasonable prices and good selections. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff as well! The good COVID measurements are appreciated. The unassuming appearance makes it easy to miss from the outside, but it's pretty spacious going inside. Staff was efficient and polite, and helped me find what I needed. They sell trusted brand items at good prices too. I'll definitely be coming back - easily one of the best stores I've been to.

Great staff, spent a lot of time setting us up with our new Bearded Dragon and supplies needed for it. The little guy is a real sweetie so far.

Great store!!! Very clean
