Articles and Caresheets

 

I've been very fortunate in the last few years to have several venues for educating people about reptiles. One of those venues has been through writing articles and care sheets about the animals I love.  Here are some of the articles I've written.   

 

As a science educator and reptile enthusiast, I find that it is extremely important to get correct care information to the public. For many years, books were the only option for people to use as a guide, and they were often out of date and poorly researched. The result was not good for the reptile.

 

You will find an increasing number of caresheets here as I add them. Caresheets are at the top, while other care info follows. General interest articles are at the bottom.

 

If think of a topic I should write about, let me know! I’m always happy to look up a topic and present it in a family-friendly manner for people to use.

 

Also, I often put these articles on my Examiner.com site - and those include pictures! Not all of these articles are there yet, but will be presented gradually, often with updates, pictures,  and new information.

 

There are many other great caresheets and sites. Here are some that I like:

 

Milksnake and Kingsnake care                   Leopard Gecko Care

 

Feeding Prekilled Prey                             Worst Reptiles for Beginners

 

Websites where you can find other caresheets and good information:
