A Day With My Reptiles

Just like any other pets, commitment and responsibilities are required to keep reptiles.

Good planning and time management really helps to sucessfully care for our reptiles. On daily basis, I usually made different time arrangements and feeding schedules for different types of reptiles as well as cleaning their enclosures. Below is a quick view of my feeding schedule:

*Basically make simple plan according to your time schedule.

Everyday I would take out my reptiles that need to be basked. I would bask them from 8 am till 10:30 am because that will be the best time for them to receive natural calcium D3 from the Sun’s UVB. (Remember during rainny season or winter indoor basking spots with UVA+UVB lighting must be provided)

To me, Sunday is a special day for me beacuse thats the only day I am truly able to spend my time together with my family and get interactions with most of my pets. Monday till Saturday I have my hands tight with works etc.

So, a typical sunday morning is to get up early. First thing first is to get all reptiles that need basking out to the outdoor area. Then I would boil water to thawed rats for feeding later. Cleaning their enclosures is a must thing to do. My flow is from my snakes then I will move to the amphibians and lastly I will attend to the large reptiles. Their respond in their feedings give me a good assumption of their health. It’s just so rewarding for me to feed my reptiles. By noon I would have finished all my task and have a great time with my family. At the end of the day, I would feel so rewarded and thinking the magic connection with my pets and family is truly amazing and beautiful.
