Quiet, friendly and calm, some reptiles, such as bearded dragons, make excellent first pets as they are relatively low maintenance. Their reptile cages usually consist of terrariums with full spectrum lighting to ensure proper absorption of calcium and vitamin D, as well as a branch to climb and a box or log to hide under in addition to a few other necessary reptile supplies. Amphibians, such as aquatic turtles and frogs require different habitats than that of the reptile cages meant to accommodate warm and dry environments. Unlike bearded dragons, frogs prefer living in a vivarium which enables their natural water and land environment to be recreated. As types of reptile food vary with different supplements and nutrients, it's important to know which meal choices will benefit your curious gecko, majestic snake or peaceful dragon.

Reptile supplies such as various heating and light bulbs, basking branches or rocks and log hideaways are important for various reptiles and amphibians as their ectothermic nature requires them to regulate their body heat through their surroundings. When it comes to amphibian and reptile cages, it's important that you select one that is large enough for your amphibious and reptilian buddies to stretch themselves out to full length. From the proper amphibian and reptile food to the proper lighting, heating, hiding and basking needs, ensure the health and longevity of your favorite reptilian and amphibian buddies today!
