Due to their size, Sulcata tortoises are best kept in an outdoor area. They can be kept there for most, or all, of the year. A desert-type set-up outdoors with a large grass area in the center and dirt around the perimeter is the recommended setting.

The tortoise will “patrol” the border, so leave it unplanted. The tortoises are constant grazers and will eat any plants in the enclosure. Fragile plants will likely be destroyed.

Bearded dragons enjoy heat. A basking site of about 95 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit is preferred. The basking site can be provided by a spotlight, such as a mercury v***r bulb, or a ceramic heat emitter positioned over a rock or branch at the end of the enclosure, about six to eight inches away from the basking bulb.

Keep the heat source to one side of the cage so the dragon can thermoregulate (move between a cooler side of the enclosure and the hotter side to control its body temperature). The cooler side can be in the low 70’s.

The ball python snake (python regius) is quite clearly the most popular pet snake in the world. Generally a bit shy, they make for ideal pets because they are smaller in size, typically friendly, easy to care for and come in many beautiful colors and patterns, known as “morphs.”

Native to central and western Africa, these snakes thrive in warm, tropical areas. Ball pythons make an excellent pet snake for first-timers and experts alike. Each year, breeders create incredible, innovative, never-before-seen patterns and color varieties that continually generate new fans and admirers.

When picking up a blue-tongued skink, approach it calmly from the side—not from above—to avoid startling it. Gently slide your hand underneath its body, supporting both the chest and hind legs. Let it settle in your hands before moving.

Corn snakes start tiny—just 8-12 inches at birth—but can grow to an impressive 4-5 feet as adults! 🐍 With proper care, they can live 6-8 years in the wild and even reach 20+ years in captivity.

If you're looking to bring one home, stick to breeders, pet stores, or reptile expos rather than wild-caught snakes, as those often carry health issues or parasites. When in doubt, ask the seller—they’ll help you confirm!
