Choosing a Pet Reptile or Amphibian

Some of our pet reptiles and amphibians are easy to care for while others require highly specialized care. We can help you choose a pet that works for you based on:

• Habitat requirements – A baby Green Iguana can fit in the palm of your hand, but when full-grown, iguanas can be 6 feet long! You’ll need to plan for your small reptile or amphibian to become a much bigger reptile or amphibian. We’ll explain how much room you’ll need to house your pet as it matures and how to clean and maintain your pet’s habitat.

• Dietary needs – Reptiles and amphibians may be plant-eaters, meat-eaters, or omnivores, and all species need a nutritious diet. New reptile or amphibian owners may prefer a herbivore like the Red Foot Tortoise whose diet consists mainly of dark, leafy vegetables, along with multi-vitamins and calcium supplements. Carnivorous animals require mice or live insects as part of their diet, so you’ll need to consider purchasing those regularly and having a place to store them.

• Temperament – Bearded Dragons are among the most friendly reptile pets, and with regular interaction, they may enjoy being held. Some species of snakes and lizards may become fearful or agitated if handled excessively. It’s best to know what works and what doesn’t before making a purchase, so talk to one of our knowledgeable staff before deciding.

Luckily, we offer a wide range of reptile and amphibian supplies: terrariums, heating, lighting, substrates, breed-specific diets, and accessories to help you create a perfect home for your pet.
