About ReptileCare
We publish reptile husbandry guidance that puts research first. We synthesize peer‑reviewed studies, field reports, standards from herpetology groups, and credible keeper data.
- Evidence synthesis. We compare sources and note strength of evidence.
- Citation hygiene. Every claim traces to a source you can check.
- Clarity and readability. Short sections. Plain language. Actionable steps.
Ethics & Welfare Standards
We advocate captive‑bred animals, sustainable practices, and housing that exceeds bare minimums. UVB and heat are sized to species needs. Enclosures prioritize space, clean gradients, and enrichment that encourages natural behavior.
How We Build Knowledge
We plan to review community‑submitted care guides and include approved work in our library. Submissions will require sources and editorial review. This is a roadmap item; there is no submission form yet.
