Thinking about buying a pet reptile? Here are a few suggestions

Bearded dragon: They are cute and rather majestic, and bearded dragons are fairly easy to care for. When socialized properly, these reptiles are very interactive with their human.

Ball python: These popular reptilian pets, are a bit shy and smaller in size, which appeals to many first-time snake owners.

Eastern box turtles: These omnivorous turtles live in various climates and are adaptable. They do not have aquatic requirements and can live a long time.

Corn or rat snake: These calm snakes are smaller, and enjoy climbing branches, so an enclosure that facilitates that need is a must.

Leopard gecko: This docile gecko is nocturnal. So, if you are a night owl, these hardy reptiles make a great pet.

Water dragon: Many people want to own iguanas, but don’t realize how big they get or how aggressive they can be. Water dragons are the perfect compromise: they are smaller, less aggressive, and rather spunky!

Crested gecko: This docile reptile is a great choice. Their dietary needs include insects and commercial foods.
