☀️ With the weather warming up, please keep a close eye on your reptiles anytime they’re outside. We’ve been seeing more and more posts lately about escaped reptiles being found in backyards, pools, garages, and neighborhoods.
Even the calmest reptiles can get startled and move FAST when outside in an unfamiliar environment. A small distraction can quickly turn into a stressful situation for both you and your animal.
A few quick reminders:
🦎 Always supervise outdoor time closely
☀️ Watch surface temperatures — pavement and rocks can get extremely hot
🚪 Double check enclosure lids, harnesses, and carriers
🐍 Never leave reptiles unattended outside “for just a minute”
💧 Be extra cautious around pools, ponds, and gaps in fencing
We love seeing reptiles enjoy safe natural sunlight and enrichment, but safety always comes first 🖤
Please keep your scaly family members safe this summer!
