Reptiles and amphibians come in all shapes and colours and live in a wide range of habitats. From graceful snakes to curious tortoises, colourful lizards and remarkable frogs, each species has its own characteristics and care needs. On this page, you will find an overview of different reptile and amphibian species and learn more about their behaviour, diet and habitat. This helps you discover what makes each species unique and what to look out for when caring for them. Whether you already have a reptile or are simply curious about these fascinating animals, here you will find all the basic information you need to get to know them better.
Reptiles and amphibians are fascinating animals that are becoming increasingly popular as pets. They come in countless species, each with its own character, lifestyle and care requirements. Whether you are fascinated by the calm pace of a tortoise, the curious look of a bearded dragon or the behaviour of a frog, there is always a species that suits you.
Those who enjoy keeping a calm animal to observe may take great pleasure in a tortoise or leopard gecko. These species are relatively easy to care for and need little interaction. If you would rather have an active reptile that regularly crawls around or climbs, a bearded dragon, corn snake or tree frog can make an interesting companion. They respond alertly to their surroundings and are enjoyable to follow in their daily behaviour.
For experienced keepers, there are species that need a little more attention, such as chameleons or certain tropical amphibians. These animals are impressive to look at, but they place greater demands on their habitat, humidity and temperature. Those with limited space can choose smaller species such as house geckos or anoles, ideal for compact terrariums with a tropical look.
Whatever you choose, good preparation is the key to success. By learning about diet, temperature control and habitat, you can provide a healthy pet as well as a fascinating insight into the world of these remarkable animals.
Metabolic Bone Disease (MBD) is a common and serious health condition in reptiles. It develops due to a disrupted calcium and phosphorus metabolism, often caused by incorrect nutrition, insufficient vitamin D3 or a lack of UVB light. Without timely treatment, MBD can lead to permanent skeletal deformities.
A well-designed terrarium is the foundation for a healthy and active reptile. Reptiles are completely dependent on their environment: temperature, humidity, lighting, diet and layout must closely match their natural habitat. In this blog, we guide you step by step through setting up a terrarium, from the initial choices to the finer details of plants, lighting and climate.
Reptiles have become increasingly popular as pets in recent years. They are fascinating, often relatively calm, and require very different care compared to dogs or cats.
