# Reptile City Guides

> Reptile City Guides is an independent editorial publication covering reptile husbandry: species-specific care sheets, enclosure setup walkthroughs, and heating, lighting, and humidity guidance grounded in current herpetological keeping practice. We publish honest ranges instead of one-size-fits-all numbers, and we tell you plainly when a question belongs to an exotic veterinarian rather than a website.

Reptile City Guides publishes original, long-form guides about reptile care guides. Every article opens with a concise direct answer, is structured with clear headings and FAQs, and reflects mainstream expert consensus. Health-related content is educational and encourages professional consultation where appropriate.
