Reptiles have been on earth for about 200 million years. Physically reptiles are characterized by several features; they are vertebrates, breathe air with lungs, and have skin covered with scales or plates. All reptiles are ectothermic or cold-blooded, meaning they depend on their enviroment for body heat. There are almost 6000 species of reptiles in five families; Lizards, Snakes, Crocodilians, Turtles & Tortoises, and Tuatara.

There are many positive reasons for keeping a pet reptile or pet amphibian. They are quiet, do not demand attention, and so can live in the city apartment dwelling as easily as in the country ranch house. Furthermore, a pet reptile is not very smelly, unique as a conversation source, and will teach its owner to maintain and enviroment the human may not be familiar with at first.

In fact, this is the most important and therefore most necessary part of caring for the pet reptile.
