Things To Know
One of the most important things to know about reptiles is that, in general, they cannot control their own body temperature, so providing the proper type of environment—including light, heat, and humidity—is key. There’s a human health concern with reptiles as well since many can carry salmonella bacteria, which can sicken people, so proper handling and hygiene is a necessity.
