Top 5 Reptile Pets for Your Home
Many of you have pet hobbies. Many of you keep dogs and cats. In many homes, pet birds chirp day and
night. Rabbits can also be seen on the roofs of many houses. But have you ever thought of snakes,
geckos or any other reptiles as pets?
Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like BT aint for me either. And as pets, they are not bad, as
beautiful as they are innocent. Thinking, realizing I have gone mad; Otherwise, snakes, crocodiles, any of
them say innocent? Hey, that snake is poisonous, why should I tame that snake ?! Snakes will tame
them. You will see a small beautiful looking non-venomous snake or a calm gecko or any such reptile.
There are so many reptiles in the world! Well, let’s tell the story of how many domesticated reptiles
today.
01) Corn Snake:
Another name for Corn Snake is Red Rat Snake. This snake is very polite as a pet snake. Why? There is
no venom in this snake, it does not eat much again. Meanwhile, the size is not so big in shape. So, if you
want to feed the snake first, it is better to choose this snake. And the snake is very beautiful to look at, it
is available in different colors, different patterns can be seen on the body.
I said that the size is small in shape, but I do not believe? Well, I’m telling you the size; Corn snake is 1.2
to 1.6 meters in length. And if he gave a rat a week, his whole week would be cut short. The snake lives
an average of about 23 years. Available in various countries of America.
02) Ball Python:
Yes, that’s right you can now become known as a Lord of the Rings. This python is the cousin of the
famous and terrible python of Africa. However, the size of a tiny! And these Python brothers have no
poison. But if there is no poison, what has happened, it is very nice to see and hear. By the way, the ball
python is quite good as a pet reptile.
But Ball Python has a lot of fun with the name. When they are ever frightened, or annoyed, they roll up
like a ball; So call them Python. Of course, they have another name; And the story of that name is also
quite interesting. Didn’t hear the name of Queen Cleopatra, the famous beautiful queen of Egypt, whose
appearance made the Greek emperor Julius Caesar fall in love. Wondering, what’s the surprise? Hey,
Julius Caesar was coming to occupy the kingdom of Cleopatra! And after falling in love with Cleopatra,
Caesar stayed in Egypt! It is said that the snake that was wrapped around the wrist of Queen Cleopatra
was also a ball python. And so they are also called Royal Python.
The ball is smaller than a corn snake in the form of a python; Usually 90 to 120 cm. And once the rats
are fed, they spend two to one weeks with it.
03) Cheetah Gekoh
At the beginning I told the story of two pet snakes. But does reptile mean snake? Now let’s tell the story
of a gecko that can be pet. The name of this gecko is just the scary “cheetah gecko”. There are spots like
leopards on the body, so it is probably named as such. In fact, it is very small; It is 20 to 26 cm in length
and weighs 45 to 65 grams. And so they don’t need much space. This cheetah gecko is again a nocturnal
animal; That means sleeping during the day, eating at night and wandering around. What do you eat?
Crickets, spiders are all such insects.
However, when it comes to keeping cheetah geckos, be very careful about one thing! No, don’t panic
beforehand. His tail is quite fragile, easily broken. Take good care of that. But whether the lizard is a
tribal animal, it grows again when its tail falls off; But you are feeding it because it is beautiful, if the tail
falls off, its beauty will be ruined, what else can you ask for?
04) Skisk of blue tongue
Wondering, what a skink animal again! The skink is a kind of reptile; Lots of lizards and snakes. These
skins belong to the genus Blue Skins. Understand why people want to nurture this skink; Its tongue is all
blue!
This skink is also very easy to pet, so it is also quite popular as a pet. Length is 18 to 24 inches. Lives
about 20 years. Native to Australia. There they are also called Bearded Dragons. Eats everything, means
omnivorous. But do you know their favorite food? Little stones! And do you know the most interesting
information about them? They cannot lay eggs like other lizards; Like mammals give birth directly to the
baby!
05) Camelion:
The chameleon is a completely different species of reptile. This naming of them is also very interesting.
The English word camelion comes from the Latin name ‘camelio’. That Latin name comes again from its
Greek name. When the Greek name is broken, there are two words which mean, Lion on the ground.
Oops, this Greek name isn’t even the original name; The Greek name comes from the Acadian language;
The Acadian name stands for ground Lion. Do you think that the history of the name is not known, but I
do not know this chameleon? Hey, Rapunzel had a pet chameleon in the movie Tangled! Remember this
time?
Now you know why this chameleon is so popular as a pet reptile? If you say so, you will also want to
keep Camelion! I say that too. First, they can change skin color like chameleons. They can basically color
the skin red, blue, green, yellow, orange and pink. Second, they can move their two eyes separately. And
third, the specially shaped long tongue. All in all, they are beautiful to look at.
However, their pet is quite difficult. If you are an apprentice in the world of animal husbandry, that
means you have started petting new animals, then it is better not to pet Camelion. Just as they have to
take great care, they also have to be kept in a very large place. Of course, there is no need to worry
about food. Flies, crickets, they eat these. From Madagascar in Africa to our neighboring country Sri
Lanka.
For so long I have heard stories of five reptiles suitable for domestication. Have you liked any of them?
Uh oh, maybe it wouldn’t be right to like it so soon. There are more domesticated reptiles. The more
beautiful they are, the more you will like them.
But there are two things to keep in mind; First of all, the animal that you keep as a pet should not be the cause of your loss in any way.
And secondly, whether the animal you are petting can really meet all the needs of that animal.
Suppose you bring the ball to Python. But he can’t feed it with rice anymore, he has to let him eat rats or any other animal as per his
demand. Otherwise he will die without eating. And if it survives in any way, it will not be so beautiful to
look at. The ball python will have a hard time, and it would not be nice to see the ball python in that dry
bone. Will he be better?
