Reptiles are air-breathing vertebrates. They are covered in a specialized skin made up of bony plates, hard scales, or some combination of the two. Reptiles will generally shed their outer layer of skin semi-regularly. Reptiles include turtles, iguanas, snakes, lizards, tortoises, and more.
To provide your pet reptile with the best chance at a long and healthy life, their diet and habitat must be exactingly maintained. Additionally, preventative care is critical to addressing health issues before they become serious.
