Reptile Care & Health

Reptiles can be one of the most interesting and rewarding pets to take care of. However, it’s important to remember they’re incredibly different from cats or dogs. When learning how to care for reptiles, you’ll discover many unique care techniques and requirements that will give your reptile a healthy and comfortable life at your home.

Essential Care Techniques

Nutritional Needs

Vitamin D3 and Calcium are the two most significant vitamins and minerals for reptiles. Direct sunshine allows vitamin D3 to be absorbed through the skin, but caged reptiles frequently lack the vitamin D3 they require for good health. Many reptiles also suffer from calcium deficiency, which can lead to serious health issues.

• A vitamin D3 deficiency can cause secondary hyperparathyroidism, leading to broken or kinked limbs and spine if left untreated.
• Severe calcium deficits can cause metabolic bone disease, with symptoms including bumps along the back and tail vertebral column, softening or hard swelling of the jaw, and softening of the plastron or carapace in turtles and tortoises.

With reptile supplements from Talis-us, you can guarantee that your reptile gets the nutrients it requires. Our selection includes reptile vitamins from trusted brands like Zoo Med, Fluker's, and Zilla, ensuring your reptiles and lizards remain healthy.
