Reptiles

Reptile supplies are essential for creating a safe, healthy and comfortable environment for your scaly friend. Whether you're caring for a snake, lizard, turtle or other reptile, providing the right tools and habitat is key to their well-being.

All your Reptile's needs for a happier, healthier life!

Lighting

Reptiles are ectothermic, meaning they rely on external heat sources to regulate their body temperature. Proper lighting is crucial for their health and well-being, as it provides necessary heat, UV radiation, and a natural day-night cycle that supports their physiological processes. 

Benefits of Proper Reptile/Amphibian Lighting


  • Supports Vitamin D3 Synthesis and Calcium Absorption
  • Regulates Circadian Rhythm and Natural Behaviors
  • Enhances Appetite and Digestion
  • Boosts Immune System and Overall Health
  • Promotes Natural Coloration and Vitality
  • Prevents Common Health Issues

Providing the right lighting for reptiles is not just for aesthetics, It's essential for their survival and quality of life! 

By ensuring a proper balance of UVB, UVA and heat, reptile owners can support their pet's health, longevity and natural behaviors, making for a happier and more active animal!


-Please note that Amphibians require different types of lighting and don't meet the same requirements as Reptiles. We recommend doing research into the type of Herpetofauna you choose to get.

Supplements

Reptile/Amphibian supplements play a crucial role in maintaining the health and longevity of captive reptiles/amphibian. In the wild, they receive a diverse range of nutrients from their varied diet and exposure to natural sunlight. However, in captivity, even the best diets may lack essential vitamins and minerals.

Why are Supplements Important?

Reptiles/Amphibians have specific dietary needs depending on their species, age and environment. Without proper supplementation, they can develop serious health issues such as metabolic bone disease, vitamin deficiencies and weekended immune function. Supplements provide essentials nutrients like, Calcium, Vitamin D3 and other vitamins that they may not get enough of from their diet alone.


Common Types of Supplements are

  • Calcium - Essential for strong bones, muscle function and overall health. Calcium deficiencies can lead to metabolic bone disease (MDB) deformities and weakened muscles
  • Vitamin D3 - Helps reptiles absorb and utilize calcium. It is especially important for reptiles that do not receive adequate UVB exposure.
  • Multivitamins - Provide a balanced mix of essential vitamins and minerals to prevent deficiencies and support immune function.
  • Gut-Loading Supplements - Used to enrich feeder insects with additional nutrients before feeding them to reptiles or amphibians, ensuring a more nutritious diet.
