Reptiles

Keeping reptiles as pets is increasing in popularity. Their requirements differ vastly from other types of pets. Providing the correct conditions and care is essential to keeping reptiles healthy – minor deviations from this can cause serious health problems in the long term. Our vets have many years of experience keeping and breeding a variety of lizard and python species.
