Any time you are bringing a new pet home, you want your new animal friend to be happy and healthy. This means buying essential supplies before they arrive. For a snake, tortoise, lizard, chameleon, or turtle, it is essential you look into the best reptile supplies ahead of time.
Buying a pet should never be a spur of the moment decision. You need to think it through, and ensure you have your house ready.
What Reptile Supplies to Buy
A few important reptile supplies you’ll want to buy before you bring your new pet home include:
Food
This is first on the list, because it is the most important. While it is true that reptiles don’t typically need three meals a day like you do, you don’t want to bring him home without any food on hand. The right type of food for your new pet will depend on the species. Therefore, we encourage you to do a bit of research ahead of time to ensure you have the right diet available from day one.
Caging
Finding the correct habitat for your reptile is incredibly important to your pet’s well being. Reptile cages come in many different sizes and materials. The right one for your situation will depend on your pet’s species, as well as the square footage available in your home. Selecting the correct one can sometimes be confusing, but the experts at Jabberwock Reptiles are always here to help you find a cage that is perfect.
Some of the brands we carry include Exo Terra terrariums and faunariums, Zoo Med glass terrariums, ReptiBreeze screen cages for chameleons, and Zilla Critter Cages.
Lighting and Heating
Reptiles are cold-blooded, and so the right heating in their cage is just as important as food. Just like shopping for a cage, finding the correct lighting and heating options can be challenging. The trained staff at Jabberwock Reptiles can assist you in finding the best products for your particular pet. Light fixtures, heat bulbs, UVB bulbs, ceramic heaters, and under tank heaters are only a few of the choices you have.
