If you have decided you wish to own and care for a reptile, it is important you choose your pet and swot up on his care before you purchase him.

The cares of your pet start by having everything ready and in place before you bring him home.

At Ideas–4–Pets there is a range of vivariums ranging from cabinets to free standing and starter kits. Our vivariums come in all colours, different sizes and can be a feature in a room. Our staff are trained to help you with information to choose the most appropriate reptile habitat.

The vivariums we stock suit the needs of different reptiles including snakes and lizards and are easy to keep clean. They are secure as many reptiles are ‘Houdini’s’ and are good at escaping.

When choosing your reptile habitat you need to measure the floor space and provide as much space as possible to allow your pet to move around in a comfortable manner. Allow for movement and stretching out full length.

Reptiles are ‘ectotherms’ which means they cannot control their body temperature. Most diseases in reptiles are caused by a lack of correct temperature and maintenance.

In order to keep your pet reptile warm and at the correct temperature we have a range of heater mats to keep your pet warm.
We also have a stock of vivarium ornaments such as logs and sewer pipes to keep your pet happy.

Reptiles love to hide from you in a reptile habitat!
