Treat Your Reptiles
as you Wish to be Treated
The Responsible Reptile aims to introduce newcomers and experienced keepers to a world of reptiles that focuses on responsible practices that benefit everyone involved -
the reptile, the proud new or experienced
owner & the environment.
We begin by discussing what you can have in your space, considering your lifestyle and the type of connection you wish to have. This first step is what truly differentiates us from other pet & reptile stores - the welfare of the animal is always first!
We believe in finding the right match between reptile & owner above making a profit
knowledge is responsible
When you purchase our reptiles, education is part of the package

From inadequate and/or hard to find and conflicting information about terrarium sizes for adult and juvenile reptiles to misinformation about misting your bearded dragon once a day, misinformation about reptile care is, sadly, rampant
Personally, we cannot count the number of times we've asked the employee selling us our reptile for care-taking information only to be provided with wrong, on-the-spot information. These turn into bad habits!
But there's also so much conflicting information on the internet these days that when you want to research your next pet, you need to sieve through data for credible sources. This is confusing for even a well-versed reptile lover!
​
Enter The Responsible Reptile:
We operate under the premise that providing factual information about your new pet is just as crucial as selling you the pet itself. Let's dive into the relatively new hobby of pet reptiles together!
We stand behind the information we provide - we work hard to research the credibility of the reptiles we re-home!
