Reptilia's Retail Services
Reptilia
strives to inform reptile and amphibian owners and future
hobbyists about responsible, ethical selection, and proper care of
reptiles and amphibians. The approach of many educational
institutions and academics is to discourage private owners from
having these animals.
We
take a different approach. Although we do not recommend reptiles and
amphibians for most people, our attitude toward retail sale of
reptiles and amphibians is as follows: The public will always have a
fascination with reptiles and amphibians and some will choose to
maintain them in captivity.
Educational facilities, such as Reptilia, should ensure that
the hobbyist is well informed and that the animals get the best
possible care. That is, instead of chastising the hobbyists –
educate them. We achieve this objective in three ways:
First, Reptilia provides quality domestically bred reptiles and amphibians
and all the supplies needed to care for them. We do not sell wild
caught reptiles. Second, we also sell a wide range of books to help
you learn more about reptiles, amphibians, and their care in captivity.
Third, we educate pet owners about proper care of their reptiles and
amphibians via our care sheets, free seminars, and newsletters.
