Reptiles are air-breathing vertebrates covered with special skin, including crocodiles, snakes and lizards. Their metabolism depends on the temperature of their environment. They shed their skin regularly. They are cold-blooded and do not have fur or feathers to help them retain warmth.

CITES and LEMIS trade databases and online reptile selling websites were analysed. Raw species counts were compared, and LEMIS names that did not match to a Reptile Database name were synonymized or split.

Quality Captive Born and Imported Exotic Animals

Reptiles and amphibians are surging in popularity as pets, from Tokay geckos to red-eyed tree frogs. But a burgeoning legal industry has also enabled a massive illegal trade, conservationists say. Many lizards, snakes and other creatures sold as captive-bred are likely plucked from the wild, even though doing so is easier than operating a breeding operation.

Traders sometimes exploit loopholes in international treaties, which forbid species threatened with extinction from being traded across borders unless they're bred in captivity. Officials in exporting countries often fail to verify whether a shipment is captive-bred, and they're rarely held accountable.

We Have a Large Variety of Exotic Animals

Keeping vertebrate animals as household pets is increasingly common in the US and globally (Ramsay et al. 2007; Carrete and Tella 2008). These exotic pets often come from the wild and are sold to people as babies, or featured in videos that go viral online.

The popularity of these animals fuels a lucrative wildlife trafficking industry, where tens of millions of wild animals are illegally poached and trafficked each year (Koch et al. 2007).

Many of these animals, when released back into the wild, cause harm by competing for food with native wildlife and damaging natural habitats. In addition, some species such as pythons can quickly invade and overtake native ecosystems, as they have in Florida. This is why we prohibit the private possession of certain dangerous inherently-dangerous wild animals including large felines, non-human primates, and poisonous reptiles.

We Have a Large Selection of Baby Turtles

Turtles and tortoises are a beautiful addition to any home. However, they are a lifetime responsibility and should only be purchased by people who have extensive experience caring for them.

We have a variety of turtles for sale including Yellow Mud Turtles, Striped Mud Turtles, and Northern Map Turtles. These turtles are hardy and easy to care for and they like to spend time both on land and in water.

These turtles can grow up to six inches long and they like to spend their time in the mud. These turtles do best in a large tank with a shallow bottom. They need to be fed a diet that is rich in leafy greens, earthworms, and fish. These turtles are also known for their bright colors.
