The Viv Bioactive

Love, love, love this place!! Everyone is so friendly and helpful everytime you go in. We got a custom tank built by them for my Oynx who I named after the pokemon. They made my dreams come true with this tank and his as well! He’s been extremely happy so far and the tank is extremely well made, with love honestly. They provided picture updates and were extremely communicative and committed! Can’t thank them enough and I highly highly recommend this place for all pet needs!

I love that you can always trust the Viv to provide happy, healthy, well-socialized and ethically bred animals + the best supplies to help them thrive. If you are involved in the reptile or amphibian community here in Bozeman, you know what an incredible gift the founder, Lauren, left us. Why would you go anywhere else to find a pet? Going to commercial pet stores, you see a lot of sick animals and obvious missteps when it comes to husbandry and care. These guys know their stuff. My partner and I have purchased 3 animals from them over the past 4 years. They are a super sweet leopard gecko, a sassy/curious ornate uromastyx and (to be picked up soon!!) my dream reptile, a baby rainbow boa. The staff spend a lot of time with us each time telling us about their demeanor and personality quirks

Any time I've stopped in I've gotten stellar advice on my lizards. The recommendations have always been helpful and effective. When my gecko was being a picky eater with big box store bugs & worms, she has always eaten The Viv's feeder bugs with ease. I highly recommend for advice and products!

very friendly, knowledgeable staff. they put care and time into what they do. beautiful and mindfully arranged very put together. will be recommending to all my other animal lover friends. Nora was awesome!

Love this place and can’t say enough positive things about them! The staff are so helpful and knowledgeable. I’ve never had reptiles and had a lot to learn, but my child loves them and so we wanted to get him a lizard. The staff helped me to learn about different species and their requirements. We ended up with a rescue day gecko, and the viv created a beautiful bioactive enclosure for him. I am so appreciative for the help and guidance, and I love stopping in to see their animals when I’m in town. Service this good is hard to come by. I would give them 10 stars if I could!
