Reptiles

Commonly kept reptiles include – Bearded dragon, Corn snakes, Royal pythons, Leopard geckos and Tortoises.

Before you go out to purchase your new pet make sure you do your research before committing to taking one home.

Things To Think About :

• Does my chosen pet need extra vitamins and supplements.
• Their environment- many exotics need specialist care – heating – lighting and if their needs are not met it can cause illness or even death.
• The environment : Being aware of what a natural environment is for your chosen pet.
• How long do they live – How large do they grow.
• What do they eat and how much – what is a healthy balanced diet – where can I purchase any specialised foods.
• How much room do they need to be able to live a happy, healthy life.
• Is your desired pet better when living alone or with others.
• Does your lifestyle allow you to look after your pet as you have a duty of care and are solely responsible for caring for your pet. Your pet needs you.
• Is there a specialised vet that you can register with.
• Do you need a license or any other legal paperwork to keep them.

DO YOUR RESEARCH.
