Setting Up the Perfect Habitat
Setting Up the Perfect Habitat
Reptiles rely on their environment to regulate body temperature and stay healthy. Enclosures should be the correct size for the species and include hides, branches, rocks, and décor to reduce stress. Heating and UVB lighting are critical for many reptiles, supporting bone development and preventing illness. Always create a temperature gradient so your reptile can move between warm and cool areas, and monitor humidity levels closely.

Feeding and Nutrition
Reptiles have diverse diets depending on the species. Snakes may eat frozen or live rodents, lizards often require insects or a mix of plant matter, and turtles thrive on pellets, greens, and occasional protein. Supplements like calcium and vitamin D3 are often necessary to prevent deficiencies. Our team will guide you on feeding schedules, portion sizes, and the right supplements for your reptile.

Handling and Ongoing Care
Handling and Ongoing Care
Handling and Ongoing Care
Some reptiles enjoy handling while others prefer to be left alone. Always support their bodies fully when handling and avoid interaction during shedding or after feeding. Regular cleaning of enclosures prevents illness, and handwashing before and after handling reduces the risk of bacteria spreading. Regular vet check-ups are also important for long-lived species.
