Question

How many reptiles can I keep in a 3 gallon encloser?

Sarasoccer01

Community Answer

Most likely none. Most reptiles need approximately 10 gallons of an enclosure, depending on the kind of reptile you purchase.

Question

I'm thinking about moving my land turtle in to a bigger cage. She won't eat sometimes. What should I do?

Community Answer

Moving your tortoise to a bigger cage is a good idea, and it gives them more space to move around and live. If your tortoise isn't eating, try to see your reptile/exotic animal vet, or try some different foods. Be sure the foods are safe for her to eat, and it might be that she just doesn't like some foods. However, she may also be sick, so seeing the vet for a short checkup is a good idea as well.

Question

How big should a habitat be for one bearded dragon?

Community Answer

A 20-gallon tank should be fine for him as a baby, but I would get a 30-40 gallon tank when he's an adult. I keep my two beardies in a 40-gallon.

How do I make a garden lizard a home and breeding grounds

Community Answer

First and foremost, you will need to identify the species, because habitats vary by species.

Question

How will I get so many enclosures if all of the reptiles need lots of space? (where will I get them?)

Community Answer

You can get reptile tanks online, in stores, or you could buy one second hand, just clean it out when you get it.

Question

I love garden lizards, but they scare me a lot. How can I overcome this problem?

Community Answer

Research information about the lizards. It will help you to understand their behavior and help you feel closer to them. Spend time around them, and watch them. Remind yourself that they are only little creatures that will do you no harm.

Question

What types of reptiles can I keep in a 10 gallon tank?

Community Answer

Maybe a juvenile leopard gecko or some other small gecko species but most geckos, snakes, and other reptiles should be housed in a 20-gallon tank or more.

Question

Can I put a ball python in the same cage with a uromastyx lizard?

Community Answer

No. No reptile species should live with a different species of reptile. They may end up eating each other or fighting. It is super rare to find two reptile species that will actually get along.
