"Come visit Rhode Island's wildest pet shop!" is the message from Arlene and Domenic Parisella Jr., owners of Pure Paradise Pets, which has been in business for 15 years in the same location.

Visitors get an opportunity to see unique pets, such as a seven-and-a-half-foot alligator, a 15-foot anaconda and exotic birds, as well as rabbits, guinea pigs and fish. Pure Paradise Pets sells a large assortment of cages and accessories and also provides boarding and grooming services for pets.

Pure Paradise Pets also puts on "reptile parties" for just about any memorable event, for birthdays, schools, and Boy and Girl Scouts. The store is licensed and insured.
