Reptile Food and Water Accessories

Having the proper dishes for food and water for your reptile will help ensure your pet has access to clean, fresh water at all times and provide a clean centralized area to offer food, depending on the species. Mealworm dishes provide a place for easy access to tasty grubs for your lizard, and prevents the worms from crawling out and exploring the habitat. Other food dishes are useful for reptiles that may eat fruits & vegetables, a pelleted diet, or a specialized diet such as crested gecko diet. For pets that prefer to be hand fed, don't forget the feeding tongs to help prevent your fingers being mistaken as tasty treats!

Water dishes will vary by species, but should be easily accessed no matter the type of reptile. While desert species may prefer a shallow, smaller dish to prevent adding humidity to their habitat, many species of snakes and tropical lizards will prefer a bowl large enough they can occasionally soak in. Some scaly pets may even prefer a specialized drinking source such as a waterfall or dripper system for those that prefer flowing water.

For reptiles that prefer live crickets, any uneaten crickets should not be left in the habitat to prevent injury to your pet. A specialized cricket pen and cricket care supplies will provide a low-maintenance solution for you to keep feeder insects in a secure separate habitat and only take out what you need for your reptile to eat.
