Today is National Reptile Awareness Day!🐍🐢
Reptiles may be a little different from our usual furry companions, but they deserve just as much care and attention. They have very specific care requirements, for example;
🌡They rely on external heat sources to regulate their body temperature.
🌞 Many species require special UVB lighting to support healthy bones and calcium metabolism.
🥗 Nutritional requirements vary greatly between species, feeding the correct diet is essential.
🏠 The right enclosure, humidity, and enrichment all contribute to their wellbeing.
We'd love to see some photos of your scaly companions in the comments below📸💚
