While traditional pets such as dogs and cats can be great companions and friends, they are not the only animals that can move in to your home and steal a bit of your heart.  All it takes is one Russian tortoise rushing at you for food, or one Bearded dragon “snuggling” into your chest, and you will see that reptile pets can be just as interesting, amusing, and fun to care for as furrier companions.  But unlike similar breeds of cats and dogs that can be cared for in the same manner, each species of lizard, snake, tortoise, and turtle requires its own special level of care.

 As an avid fan of reptiles and other exotic types of pets, I will share some information and advice every weekday on caring for and keeping these wonderfully interesting animals.  From tips on how to give a medication shot to a Ball python with a respiratory infection, to how temperature effects exotic pets such as Mexican Redknee tarantulas, to what fresh vegetable mixes are best for Russian tortoises, I’ll share what I know to make reptile keeping a little more accessible and fun for others.
