Exposed – the truth about the 75% reptile mortality myth.
This video investigates how many pet reptiles die in their first year.
You might have seen the statistic that claims 75% of pet reptiles die in their first year. But is it true?
This video reveals three major flaws in the 75% statistic and explains what you need to know about reptile mortality rates to uncover the truth.

Crested geckos saved from extinction – with Rob Pilley from Rob's Wild Adventures.
There are thousands of reasons why reptile keeping is so awesome, but one reason we love it so much is because we’re always learning new things.
If it wasn’t for private keepers leading the way we wouldn’t know half of what we do today about reptile keeping, breeding, welfare and husbandry.
Rob Pilley from Robs Wild Adventures explains how crested geckos are just one example of private keepers doing heroic work to further our knowledge about reptiles. It’s fair to say that private keepers probably saved the crested gecko from extinction.
Great work, reptile keepers!

Slimy, Horrible Creatures – how reptile-keeping laws are made and how this affects you.
Slimy, Horrible Creatures tells the story of how a tiny minority of extremists hijacked the law-making process, and how the result can affect every reptile keeper on the planet.
This short documentary film pulls back the curtain and highlights the methods and missions of those who want to put an end to reptile keeping – even if that means reptiles could suffer poor welfare as a result.
If you love reptiles you need to watch this film.

Where to find the best UVB lamps for reptiles
When shopping for reptile products you can often find bargains online, but it’s only a bargain if you get what you need.
While cheap deals might be tempting, unreliable products can harm your wallet and your reptiles. We strongly recommend purchasing from trusted, experienced sellers who offer quality products and reliable advice. For new and novice keepers, spending a bit more on reputable brands ensures your reptile's health and safety.
Thanks to The Bio Dude for presenting this video.
