Generally,
Reptiles Are Healthy
Most
domestically bred and raised reptiles are healthy. Health problems
are typically caused by improper environmental conditions such as
insufficient heat, too much moisture, a soiled substrate, etc. The health of your reptile is not to be taken for granted. Just like you,
your reptile should have an annual 'Check Up'. The annual check up we
recommend is conducted by a veterinarian. Common procedures for all reptiles are blood
work, external physical examination, and fecal examination. Most ailments
that your reptile could be suffering from will be detected by these simple
tests.
What
Does Reptilia Have to Offer?
Reptilia does not provide any veterinary services; however, our
senior staff all have well over 15 years experience raising and
maintaining reptiles and amphibians. There are few problems that you may
encounter that we haven't already had to deal with. Drop by and
discuss your reptile husbandry problems with our staff. We can help you determine the cause of
lack of appetite, behavioural problems, and abnormal skin conditions such
as incomplete shedding. Do not drop by with your animal. If
you need to have the animal looked at you will need to set up an
appointment with your veterinarian.
