Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to bring when boarding my reptile?
Most boarding facilities will supply basic enclosures and heating, but you should bring anything your reptile relies on for comfort or routine. That includes their regular food, supplements, handling instructions, and any specific décor, hides, or items that help reduce stress. If your reptile requires particular UV lighting, heat gradients, or humidity levels, communicate that clearly, and bring your own gear if necessary.
How do you maintain proper temperatures and humidity while my reptile is boarding?
Good reptile boarding providers know how critical heat and humidity control is. Enclosures are set up with thermostats, hygrometers, heat mats, ceramic heaters, or UVB lamps as required. Species-specific needs are taken seriously, whether it’s a basking zone for a bearded dragon or higher humidity for a python. Daily checks ensure the habitat stays consistent, reducing the risk of illness or stress during the stay.
Will my reptile be handled during boarding?
Only if necessary, or if it’s part of their routine. Some reptiles enjoy interaction, while others find it stressful. Staff follow your instructions closely, whether that means scheduled handling, daily feeding only, or total hands-off care. The goal is to replicate your home routine as closely as possible to keep your reptile calm, healthy, and comfortable until pickup.

Specialist, Species-Specific Setups
Our boarding enclosures are tailored to each reptile’s species, size and behaviour. We maintain heating, humidity and UVB lighting to match their usual environment and reduce stress during their stay. Whether your reptile prefers to burrow, bask or climb, we’ll make sure their enclosure is set up just right, complete with hides, thermometers and the substrate they’re used to. We can also administer supplements, feed live or frozen food, and follow any specific care routines. With over a decade of experience working with reptiles, we understand the small details that make a big difference to their well-being.
