The East Bay Vivarium is a shop located in Berkeley, California, in the United States.
The store has been deemed a "must-see" by Disney family and the "strangest attraction" in Berkeley by The New York Times.
Upon moving to their current location on Fifth Street in Berkeley, they made efforts to stabilize the store to avoid future earthquake damage by having shatterproof plastic cages and attaching the shelves, via straps, to the walls.
That same year, The New York Times called the vivarium and Moe's Books the only two "must-see" sites in Berkeley.
They sell animals such as spiders, fish, snakes, lizards, chameleons, frogs, crawfish, and turtles.
[1] Prices range from $3.50 for a tree frog and $25 to $50 for a snake, to a Chinese crocodile lizard that costs $1,000.
The vivarium also breeds crickets, rats and mice for food in a specific private space on the premises.
