• Amphibians

• Chameleons
• Geckos
• Iguanas
• Scorpions
• Snakes
• Tarantulas
• Tortoises
• Turtles
• Venomous Lizards

Herptiles vary in size and grow to varying length. They also have different life spans, so it is important to find one that will fit into your lifestyle and needs. Herptiles do not have the control to regulate their own body temperature. This means it is extremely important to house your herptile correctly. Herptiles make great pets for many reasons. They give off no odour, are very clean and live a quiet life.

Herptiles all have different needs and this is important to consider when choosing which to buy. They are broken into three main groups: handleable, semi-handleable and visual. Researching each one will make sure you choose the right pet for your needs.
