About Us
It is our mission to provide our customers with the best quality, selection, and service in the aquarium industry. We are a group of hobbyists that are fortunate enough to be able to enjoy and share our passion on a professional level. Collectively we have over 50 years of professional experience in the aquarium and reptile business. You will not be able to find another store that can match our passion and knowledge, which in turn leads to the quality of service and goods that we offer here at Unique Aquaria & Reptiles. We are Boston’s premier LFS with a whole lot more…
Our location has been an institution in Boston for over 20 years, if you wanted anything for your pet in Boston, Skipton Pet Center was the place to go. As of January 2011 the business split apart to expand and focus even more on our passions. Now the 4,000 S.F. facility at 70 Southampton St. in Boston is dedicated to all of your Aquatic, Reptile, Bird, and Small Animal needs. Thus leading way for Unique Aquaria & Reptile, LLC. As we move forward we will be focusing on many areas that are of great importance to us personally. These areas include education and classes, sustainable collection, aquaculture and mariculture, and eco friendly operating practices.
Our online stores, Unique Aquaria.com and Unique Herps.com are our way to get some of the unbelievable livestock and reliable supplies that we offer to customers that may not be able to visit our Boston location in person. Please feel free to browse the site, and don’t forget to enjoy our gallery of living art…as we display some of the Unique pieces that have come through the shop.
Our company is based on the belief that our customers' needs are of the utmost importance. Our entire team is committed to meeting those needs. As a result, a high percentage of our business is from repeat customers and referrals. We encourage you to come in and truly have a Unique Experience.
We would welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver you the best service in the industry.

We are very easy to reach. We are right off of the expressway (93). Where are you coming from?
From the South, take 93 north to exit #16, at the end of the exit ramp take a left. You are now on Southampton street. get in the right lane. After the Mobil and McDonalds we are on your right, small 1 story building -yellow and red. Just before the set of lights, for the expressway entrance ramp.
From the North, take 93 south to exit #18 (first exit out of the tunnel) , the exit ramp goes to a set of lights, at the set of lights take a right towards Mass Ave. Now you will come to another set of lights. Stay in the left lane. At the set of lights take a left onto Mass Ave. Pass the Mobil and Mcdonalds, then you will see a firehouse on your left, at the blinking yellow light take a left, this will bring you around to Southampton Street (stay to the left.) Once on Southampton Street, get in the right lane. After the Mobil and McDonalds we are on your right, small 1 story building -blue with black trim. Just before the set of lights, for the expressway entrance ramp.
These directions are a bit confusing to read, but make sense once you see it. Mass Ave. & Southampton Street are one ways so you have to go around to get to us.
