Care Guides
Care guides can often be a great starting point for learning more about the
overview of a particular species one may be interested in, where they come
from and are native to, and their different care requirements and parameters.
While one should, of course, always take the time to learn further about any
animal they are interested in acquiring or caring for, particularly along with
other avenues and resources, this section of the website will hopefully provide
an excellent starting point and resource for a wide array of the most
commonly kept and available reptile and amphibian species one may look into.
Also keep in mind that not all of these animals will always make the best pets
for everyone, and some of these may become very large, have difficult or more
extensive care requirements, or require much larger enclosures or amounts of
space. In most cases, there are also usually many different ways, and opinions
for properly caring for these animals, and usually, there is no “only one right
way” to keeping most of these animals.
Some species can also come and go in popularity, while others tend to remain
long-time pet industry staples. If you know of a reptile or amphibian (or
invertebrate) species which should be added here, let us know, and we can see
if there is a care guide for them!
