Preparing Your Reptile’s New Home
Before you bring your new reptile home, make sure her habitat is already set up. Pay particular attention to the environmental conditions your reptile requires. By allowing conditions in the new habitat to stabilize and by giving yourself the opportunity to ensure that all equipment is operating according to specifications, you will ease the transition for your pet from her store environment to her permanent one.

Bearded Dragon
Bearded Dragon: Species Profile
Bearded dragons, or "beardies," are moderately sized lizards native to Australia. They range in color but are often a light tan to brown with a long, thick tail and a spiky, beard-like collar around their neck. While they are generally considered good pets, even for beginner reptile owners, they do have fairly complex nutritional and environmental needs. Special equipment and a fair amount of time are needed to care for bearded dragons. However, they are generally social and easy to tame, and they show a range of fascinating behaviors that make them interesting to watch.

Caring for Pet Chameleons
Chameleons are a unique and bright species that have the ability to change in color to camouflage with their environment, regulate temperatures, and communicate with other chameleons. They can also change color when they're stressed or happy. Caring for a chameleon requires proper natural habitats meaning big cages to accommodate their need to climb, privacy, and various temperatures throughout its home. Additionally, they need a gut-loaded and calcium-supplemented diet. This beautiful creature may be the pet for you if you're willing to make the commitment to properly care for it.

How To Clean Your Reptile Tank
How a reptile or amphibian utilizes its habitat is similar to how we use our homes. They eat, sleep, relax, and explore throughout their enclosure. The biggest difference is that we can remove food and bathroom waste from the house quickly and easily with a flush of a toilet or by taking the garbage out. Since they can’t do this, that waste can build up without your help. Keeping waste picked up is important, but even if removed that waste can leave behind harmful bacteria. To help reduce the possibility of bad bacteria causing your pet to get sick, cleaning and disinfection of the habitat are needed. Not every cleaning product for our homes is safe for our pets, so let’s take a quick dive into how to best clean and disinfect our pet’s homes.

Crested Gecko
Until 1994, the crested gecko was thought to be extinct. Imports to the island of New Caledonia brought a destructive species of ant and rats, which killed many of the native species of geckos on the island. In 1994, a team of researchers on the islands rediscovered the geckos and brought them into captivity. Originally, little was known about them, but through care in captivity, they were found to be easy to keep and breed, and were very prolific. Their ease of care along with their small size, amazing range of color and pattern, and great personality has made them one of the most popular geckos kept in captivity today
