But, amidst the pandemic, everyone is not that safe to go out and go to crowded places, such as stores. So, it is advisable and a wise idea to shop and buy online.

Housing
There are different types of housing according to your pet. You will have the following:

- Vivariums
- Spare Parts
Spare parts are an inclusion to your pet’s housing needs. These are important materials that secure the safety of your reptile. For example, if you have a snake, be sure that the housing is safe to open or locked. So, when you are not around, you can be sure that it can’t escape, or else, you will be like a mommy looking for a lost baby, of course, you don’t want to make it happen.
Heating and lighting
One of the most important needs of these reptiles is heating and lighting. The climate is changing. Since they are not in their natural house, like in the forest, you have to provide for their needs. Heating is very important during the winter season. Since they are not capable of looking for a place where they can be warm, provide them heat with a heating material.
In this way, your reptile will always feel at home; secure, safe, and happy. Lighting is also important. Although some reptiles are nocturnal, still they need light. They don’t want to feel blind while they have healthy vision. Let them feel that they are not alone. Provide lighting to make them see who is taking care of them and let them feel your love and affection for them as their pet owner.
Health and maintenance
The most important fact of petting reptiles is not only to feed them but also they keep them healthy and maintained. Provide all these and you will have a happy reptile; healthy and energetic:
- Cleaning
- Feeding & Handling
- Food
- Medications & Supplements
- Water Maintenance
Happy petting!
