Portland Reptile Lounge

Come Hang Out With the Reptiles

Welcome to Portland Reptile Lounge at 4th Ave Studio—a place for reptile lovers, curious minds, families, photographers, and like-minded hobbyists to relax, connect, and experience reptiles and amphibians up close.

We’re creating a space that feels less like a traditional animal attraction and more like hanging out in a reptile-loving friend's home. Come spend some time with our animals, learn something new, play a game, enjoy some gelato, or simply hang out with people who share your interests.

Meet the Animals

Our lounge is home to a variety of reptiles and amphibians, each with their own personality, story, and care needs.

Depending on the day, you may encounter:

  • Snakes

  • Lizards

  • Turtles & tortoises

  • Frogs & amphibians

We want guests to learn about them, understand their natural behaviors, and develop a greater appreciation for these often misunderstood animals.

Some animals may be available for supervised interaction, while others are best enjoyed from their enclosures. Animal availability and interaction opportunities may vary based on the animal's health, behavior, and individual needs.

Our animals' wellbeing always comes first.

SUPPORTING ANIMALS

Many of our animals were rescued or rehomed here at Portland Reptile Lounge at 4th Ave Studio and receive

regular veterinary care.

Our goal is to create a space where people can learn about and appreciate these animals while supporting their continued care.
