	Reptile Caresheets The Reptile Caresheets offered on this site are contributions from our readers. They are meant to be a guide and should not be your sole means of research. It is crucial that you purchase literature on the species that you keep and that you learn as much about that species and its needs that you can. If you find any of the information in any of the caresheets on this site to be inaccurate, please contact us immediately. We do our best to provide the most current and accurate information available, but mistakes can happen. We have a contact form linked at the bottom of the site.

	Reptile Racks Rack systems are the most widely used "space" saving enclosures an enthusiast can build. Rack systems can be used for a variety of purposes, but their primary housing purpose has been adapted for breeders. These units allow breeders the ability to house numerous animals, in a smaller amount of space. It is always best to offer the largest possible enclosure that you can for your reptiles. Racks should not be used as a means to simply confine your animals in a smaller and more space saving space. All racks can be modified to house larger containers so you are offering your animal as much space as possible.

Lizards

Description: The racks within this section were based on the needs of varying lizard species. Many of these designs however can be easily modified to suit varying snake species as well.
