Other Services

Supplies

There are a lot of different reptile supplies in the market today which has greatly increased the options and the quality of some of the things available today. There are also lots of companies that make stuff that is junk. For example, just recently there was a massive recall of a new line of UVB bulb that was burning and even killing reptiles. Many beddings can be harmful or even fatal to reptiles. Reptiles are happy healthy pets as long as you have the right setup. We use our personal experience in conjunction with the recommendations of local veterinarians to provide and recommend only the safest products for your reptiles. As always we try to maintain the lowest prices in town and will always match prices.

Why Buy Captive Born and Bred? (C.B.B.)

Millions of reptiles are taken out of the wild each year to be sold in pet shops. Most of the animals captured don't even survive the trip to the United States and the few that do survive are often weak, full of parasites and do not survive once they are taken home, even by the most loving and caring families.

Fortunately breeding reptiles has become either a profession or a hobby for individuals all over the world and most species of reptiles are available captive born and bred (c.b.b.). The prices for some c.b.b reptiles are slightly higher than those of wild caught animals but you are not only getting a much happier, healthier, friendlier animal, you are helping to prevent a major threat to the wild population. Most pet stores buy wild caught animals because they are cheaper and it makes their customers happier when they can get cheap animals, especially since most people don't even know what c.b.b means or why it is so much better. (Perhaps this is why there are so many stories out there about reptiles being fragile and hard to keep alive.) Please let your local pet store know that you will only purchase animals that are captive born and bred (c.b.b) or shop somewhere that sells c.b.b animals. This way the wild cousins of the animals we love can continue to enjoy their freedom and you can get a happier, healthier, friendlier animal!
