Exciting News! ✨

Hey everyone! Just a quick heads-up that I’ll be a bit less available over the next few weeks—because I’m getting MARRIED this Tuesday! ❤️🎉

After the big day, we’ll be heading off to Japan for our honeymoon for three weeks!

I might not be as responsive during this time, but I promise to share some updates (and probably way too many photos) when we’re back.

We are definitely gonna check out some reptile and dinosaur themed places in Japan so stay tuned for those photos!

🌞 Tips to Keep Your Reptiles Comfortable in the Heat 🌞

Summer heat can be challenging for our scaly friends! Here are some tips to help your reptiles stay safe and happy during high temperatures:

🦎 Regulate Tank Temperature

Use a thermostat to regulate the hot spot and prevent overheating. This is essential for maintaining a safe and consistent temperature.

Avoid placing tanks near windows where direct sunlight can overheat them.

💧 Hydration is Key

Always provide fresh, clean water. For pythons and other snakes, provide a large water dish that allows them to soak if they choose.

For lizards, offer a shallow water dish to prevent drowning while keeping them hydrated.

Increase humidity if needed by misting their enclosure or adding a humid hide.
(Humid hide is a hide full of damp sphagnum moss)

🌬️ Cool Spots

Create a cool area in the enclosure by offering shaded spots or hides in the cool side of the enclosure

Ice packs wrapped in a towel can help provide temporary relief on those super hot days!

🚫 Avoid Outdoor Risks

If taking your reptiles outside, ensure there’s adequate shade and never leave them unattended.

Limit outdoor time to early morning or late evening when temperatures are lower.

🐢 Know the Signs of Overheating

Watch for unusual behavior like lethargy, mouth gaping, or attempting to escape the enclosure. If you’re concerned, consult a reptile-savvy vet like the The Unusual Pet Vets

*Jag morph carpet pythons are extremely sensitive to the heat. So make sure they are kept cool! Their neurological issues will be more evident in the heat.

Let’s keep our reptiles thriving, even in the heat! Share this post with fellow reptile lovers to spread the word. 🐍🐢🦎

Stay cool, everyone! 🌡️
