Common Infections That Plague Pet Reptiles


Do you have pet reptiles living at home with you? You might think that pet reptiles living indoors are all safe, but the fact is that they can catch one or several health problems as well. One good way you can keep your pet reptile healthy and safe is by keeping a stable living environment so you can keep harmful pathogens at bay. The vivarium must be kept squeaky clean as well as free from odors. The food bowl and water bowls also need to be clean and free from odors as much as you possibly can. Don't forget the temperature and humidity inside the pet enclosure; they need to be just right so you can keep the pet reptile's immune system at a peak state. Increase the temperature too much and your pet reptile could get burns and invite bacteria. Damp enclosures will invite bacteria as well. Watch out for viruses such as poxvirus, iridovirus, herpesvirus, flavivirus, and adenovirus. Talk to your vets Helotes TX about the best way to protect your pet reptile for important health issues.
