Reptile Adventure

04/01/2025

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

Due to the rising costs of animal food, we are changing our programs to consist entirely of plush reptiles. Not only will this save us money in food, it will also lower our insurance rates significantly and allow us to feature any and all species, not just limited to reptiles. We can even feature mythical creatures in this new format! We hope you enjoy the new program!

Hey friends! We've been asked this a bunch: we won't have a booth at the Saratoga Expo. Please enjoy the weekend responsibly!

Visit https://reptifiles.com/ to review care sheets for the species you're considering. Sulcata tortoises are sentient, walking wrecking balls, and tegus and iguanas need big, hot, humid habitats to be healthy. Chameleons are really really hard to keep.

UVA/UVB lighting is *vital* for most reptiles; DON'T wait to get it after getting the animal if you can't buy it at the same time. Each species has different needs, so research first!

Hey friends, our voicemail has apparently been broken for a while now. We were not aware of this, so please text us if you need anything, and we will do our best to get back to you in a timely fashion. We apologize for the inconvenience, and we will be visiting the phone provider today to see if they can sort this out for us.

In the meantime, please enjoy this photo of pink tongued skink Marvin as he has a snack of egg yolk.

Saturday March 1 is the Kidz Expo at the Empire State Plaza! We are reaching out to see if any of our fans would like to come and help out at the event! You can hold a lizard or snake, and help the guests interact with the animal you choose! Please message us if you're interested!

The other day, we got a call from the DEC asking is of we could help with this stray alligator. I let them know that we don't have the license or facility for crocodilians, and gave them Mr. Perpetua's number. I'm glad this guy was found and captured safely before winter.

PLEASE do your research before getting a pet! Baby gators (and their kin) are very cute, but they grow up into a dangerous adult that is expensive and difficult to house. In NYS, you can't have them as pets. Licenses are only available to legitimate exhibitors and educators.

If you choose to illegally keep one of these animals (or any other prohibited species), know that the state can and will take them away, fine you, and potentially euthanize the animal (this alligator was very lucky). It's not worth it, and it's totally unfair to the animal. Whoever dumped this creature in the cold climate of NY State is a cruel and thoughtless jerk.

The American alligator could've frozen to death had he stayed in the cold creek, said his new owner Mark Perpetua.

Our recommendation for locally bred ball pythons and sticky-toed geckos (leachie, crested, gargoyle, mourning) is DMJ Reptiles ! They also have invertebrates, including isopods!

Hi friends! We've had a few folks ask recently about humidity for leopard geckos. The simple answer is, you use a humidity chamber so the geckos can choose to go in as they feel the need. This will help keep their toes healthy during a shed.

This ✨LOCAL✨ company makes humidity chambers for them. You put moss inside and spray with water daily. You can use a homemade solution as well, but their items are more attractive in a display!

The company also breeds high quality leopard geckos, and they are extremely conscientious and caring to their animals and customers. J5 Gecko is where you go for geckos, otherwise the link goes to their Etsy.

Tortoises just keep going, stubbornly and determinedly.

Rabbits are distractible 😅
