Which Reptile Should I Get?
Answers based on space, handling, feeding and heating burden — and it will tell you when the honest answer is “none of these yet.”
Printable, by species
Two PDFs per species. The setup checklist is every figure from that species’ guide on one page — sizes, temperatures, humidity, what to buy. The enclosure layout sheet is the build diagram: side view with the thermal gradient, floor plan, and the checks to run before the animal goes in. Both are free; tell us which species and they arrive by email.
