Reptile care guides

Geckos first, then monitor lizards and other reptiles. Every species has its own guide: how it lives in the wild and how to give it a good life in captivity. With figures, maps and sources.

Geckos 23 guides From tiny dwarf geckos to large nocturnal climbers with adhesive toe pads: geckos are the most species-rich group of lizards and among the most widely kept in captivity. Here you will find care and breeding guides, species by species. See the species Monitor lizards Guides coming soon Intelligent, curious and demanding. Monitor lizards need space, heat and experience, but reward you with behaviour no other lizard can match.

The guides are based on the specialist literature and the practice of experienced keepers, and the sources are listed under each species. Reptiles differ as individuals, so use the figures as a starting point, keep an eye on your own animal, and always ask someone who knows.
