Boarding

Boarding for reptiles

Our scaled and shelled friends need loving care and monitoring while you are away, and we provide that special care and attention so they stay happy and healthy.

Boarding for reptiles and lizards

Their own home, away from home

You can bring your pet’s enclosure or house, as well as their normal food and any additional lighting or heat sourcing that may be needed, to help make their stay more comfortable and to reduce stress for the pet.

During the stay

Watched closely, all day

  • We understand and are familiar with the temperature and humidity requirements of many different species of lizards and reptiles, and monitor these very closely during your pet’s stay.
  • Daily one-on-one time is provided to those lizards and reptiles that are used to handling and social interaction.
  • The lizards and reptiles are checked on frequently throughout the day. If any medical problem is noted, a veterinarian is notified so that care can be given if needed.
