They may not be as cuddly as puppies and kittens, but reptiles and amphibians—such as leopard geckos, iguanas, Burmese pythons and frogs—are becoming more popular as pets. Fortunately, advances in husbandry, nutrition and medicine have led to better health and welfare of these animals, allowing practitioners to focus more on true medical conditions rather than concerns that are caused by poor husbandry. Join this podcast episode of VetFolio Voice to learn more about the special considerations for providing care to these fascinating species. Dr. Cassi and Dana Varble, NAVC's Chief Veterinary Officer, discuss some specific husbandry considerations, such as heat, humidity, UV exposure and diet, the equipment you will need for these patients, and how euthanasia in reptiles differs from euthanasia in mammals.
