Choosing a Pet Reptile or Amphibian
Some of our pet reptiles and amphibians are easy to care for, while others require highly specialized care. We can help you choose a pet that works for you based on:
-
Habitat requirements – A baby green iguana can fit in the palm of your hand, but when full-grown, iguanas can be 6 feet long! We’ll explain how much room you’ll need to house your pet as it matures, as well as how to clean and maintain your pet’s habitat.
-
Dietary needs – Reptiles and amphibians may be plant-eaters, meat-eaters, or omnivores, and all species need a nutritious diet. People new to owning this type of pet may prefer a herbivore like the Red Foot Tortoise, whose diet consists mainly of dark, leafy vegetables, along with multi-vitamins and calcium supplements. Carnivorous animals require mice or live insects as part of their diet.
-
Temperament – Bearded Dragons are among the most friendly reptile pets, and with regular interaction, they may enjoy being held. Some species of snakes and lizards may become fearful or agitated if handled excessively. When you come to Uncle Bill’s to look for your new reptile or amphibious pet, we can answer any questions you may have about animal temperament.
Reptile & Amphibian Supplies
With proper care, some reptiles and amphibians can live 20 to 50 years – or longer! We offer a wide range of reptile and amphibian supplies: terrariums, heating, lighting, substrates, breed-specific diets, and accessories to help you create a perfect home for your pet.
