New videos have been posted to my YouTube channel as part of “The Lizard Doctor Enrichment Series” where it features white noise to help calm and relax your reptiles and amphibians. Reptiles can hear noises in their environment and many noises can lead to stress, anorexia, lack of sleep, and even illness. Providing a soothing noise can allow your reptile to be more comfortable allowing it to relax, eat comfortably, sleep undisturbed, and can prevent glass surfing and other stressful tendencies when caused by noise and overstimulation.
