Back from holiday and already proving I’m terrible at sitting still…
The next care guide is off being reviewed… so naturally, my brain said: ‘Hey, let’s start another one!’ 🐍

Huge thanks to my family + zoo heroes for holding down the fort while I was away 💜 You kept the chaos at bay!

Now the big question: which species deserves the next spotlight? Drop your ideas below — because clearly I need help keeping out of trouble 😅

This September as of the 8th, The Regal Reptile is off on a long-awaited quest (don’t worry, no dragons involved… probably 😉).
That means no food orders until October.
But never fear! You can still reach out for help, advice, and reptile chatter, and there’s still plenty of behind-the-scenes magic happening. ✨

We’ll return in October, refreshed and ready to serve you and your scaly fellowship. 🦎✈️🚢

We’re proud of the care guides we’ve developed. For the harder-to-research topics, we’ve gone the extra step of having them reviewed by veterinarians, experienced keepers, and published authors. Our goal has always been to make husbandry knowledge accurate, accessible, and freely available — because good information shouldn’t be gatekept.

It’s a little ironic that evidence-based resources aren’t always welcomed everywhere, but we remain committed to supporting the community with open, reliable information. While we’re always open to expert feedback, we stand by the work we’ve done to help keepers and their animals thrive.

And the exciting part? The next guide is already in the works ✨. Any guesses which superstar critter we’re tackling next? 👀

🐍✨ THANK YOU! ✨🐍

Our Stimson’s Python Care Guide is now live — and it wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support of this community.

A massive thank you to my collaborator Lee from Reptile Realms: Fauna Management & Wildlife Encounters for sharing her expertise throughout the process.

To everyone who submitted their stunning Stimmie photos 📸 — your contributions brought the guide to life. And to the many reviewers who gave their time and feedback — thank you for helping us fine-tune this resource so it can truly support keepers at every level.

👉 The guide is ready for you now.
👉 And this is just the start — we already have two more care guides in the works! Don’t see your species yet? Drop your request in the comments below so we know what to cover next.
Together, we’re building resources that help our reptiles thrive. 🐍🦎

We’ve had so many of you asking for it — so here it is!

🦎 Thinking About Getting Your First Lizard?
We’re seeing a lot of beginner keepers excited to welcome their first reptile — which is awesome! But with the rising interest in Bearded Dragons already this season, we want to help new reptile lovers make informed, ethical decisions.

While beardies can be great pets, Western Bearded Dragons are NOT recommended for beginners. They have specific care requirements, space needs, and can be sensitive to husbandry mistakes — especially for first-time keepers.

That’s why we created this simple flowchart 💜
It’s a fun, easy guide to help you work out if you’re ready — and which species might be better suited to your first experience.

✅ Research first
✅ Choose an appropriate species (like a skink or bobtail!)
✅ Set up your space before you buy
✅ And always buy from a reputable breeder — not just the loudest voices in a group chat.

If you're ever unsure or need help with care advice, housing, or choosing your first reptile — reach out. We're here to support you and what's best for the animal.

🐾 Ethical. Informed. Reptile care — always.
