Reptile Husbandry
Reptile husbandry refers to the care and management of reptiles in captivity. This includes providing appropriate habitats, diets, and health care to ensure their well-being. Key factors in reptile husbandry include temperature, humidity, and lighting, which must be tailored to the specific needs of each species, such as snakes, lizards, or turtles.
Proper nutrition is also essential, as different reptiles have varying dietary requirements, including insects, vegetables, or meat. Regular health checks and clean living environments help prevent diseases. Understanding the natural behaviors and habitats of reptiles is crucial for successful husbandry practices.
