Reptiles and Their Control

Reptiles and amphibians are ectothermic creatures that rely on their environment to regulate body temperature, utilizing sunbathing to warm up and enhance their mobility. While caring for pet reptiles and amphibians, it's crucial to be aware of health risks, particularly the potential transmission of Salmonella and other germs, especially to young children. Many may not realize that handling these animals can lead to infections, emphasizing the importance of proper hygiene and precautions in pet care.
