Question: Why do I need a thermostat for my reptile enclosure?

Answer: Reptiles are ectothermic therefore maintaining optimal enclosure 🦎 temperature 🦎 is an essential part of reptile keeping. Ectothermic means they rely on external heat sources for temperature regulation, unlike mammals, they do not have an internal mechanism to regulate their own body temperature. Instead, they rely on their surroundings to heat up or cool down.

However, maintaining body temperature is not just a matter of comfort for reptiles but necessity 👇

🔥Metabolism – insufficient heat can slow a reptile’s metabolism resulting in reduced digestion, limited appetite and inadequate nutrient absorption. Equally it is important not to overheat your pet as this can cause a multitude of subsequent health issues.

🦎Activity – improper temperature regulation can result in disruption to their natural behaviour resulting in stress, aggravation, hyperactivity or fatigue.

🫁Respiratory – Maintaining proper temperature reduces the risk of weakening their immune system, leaving them open to infections and breathing difficulties.

As reptile keepers we know that 🦎 plants 🦎 are an essential part of reptile keeping, but as reptile awareness day is next week we thought we would break down why plants are important for a reptile enclosure:

🪴Plants provide shaded places to hide
🪴Makes the environment a closer approximation to their natural habitat
🪴Gives live food places to hide thusly encouraging natural foraging behaviour for the reptile, providing enrichment
🪴Increases oxygen
🪴Many reptiles prefer drinking water droplets as opposed to drinking from a water dish
🪴Can help maintain humidity levels

🦎 Enrichment 🦎 generates a variety of physiological and behavioural benefits for your reptile. Creating an ideal environment for a reptile does not focus solely on meeting their basic needs.

In order to see your pet thrive in it’s environment, as responsible keepers, we must provide them with stimulation too to make their lives as happy and healthy as possible 💪
