How often should I clean my reptile’s habitat?Clean and disinfect your pet’s home weekly. We recommend removing your reptile prior to cleaning and keeping them in a Kritter Keeper, which has a secure latching lid.

How often should I feed my new pet?

• Crested geckos should be fed crested gecko food every

night and given insects 2 to 3 times per week.

• White’s tree frogs need to eat daily as juveniles and then every other day as adults.

• Leopard geckos need insects daily that are no bigger than the space between their eyes.

• Bearded dragons should be fed daily with uneaten fruits and veggies removed after 24 hours.

• Corn snakes and ball pythons need to eat once per week as juveniles, and every 1 to 2 weeks as adults. It’s safest to feed snakes in a separate tank.

• Aquatic turtles must be fed daily in water. They’re messy eaters so consider feeding in a separate tank.

Do I need to provide additional food supplements?

Crested geckos, White’s tree frogs, leopard geckos and bearded dragons need calcium sprinkled on their food daily and a multi-vitamin 1 to 2 times per week.
