About Reptile City Guides
Reptile City Guides is an independent resource covering reptile care guides. We publish clear, practical, well-researched guides — the straight answers, without the marketing spin.
How we work
Our guides are built on current, mainstream understanding of the subject and checked against reliable sources. Where a topic is genuinely unsettled, we say so plainly rather than pretending certainty.
Editorial independence
Recommendations are based on evidence and experience, not on who makes a product. Any sponsored or affiliate content will always be clearly labelled.
Husbandry parameters — temperatures, UVB output, humidity, enclosure size, and feeder choices — are species-specific, and errors can seriously harm or kill a reptile. Figures in our guides are honest ranges drawn from current keeping practice; always verify them for your exact species and setup, and measure with a reliable digital thermometer and hygrometer rather than trusting equipment labels. For any sign of illness, injury, or refusal to eat beyond the ordinary, consult a qualified exotic or reptile veterinarian — no care guide is a substitute for one.
