Pet reptiles are excellent companions and include a colorful array of species varying in shape, size and care needs.
There are lots of beginner reptile pets with gentle demeanors and minimal care needs. Popular beginner pet lizard types include Leopard Geckos and Bearded Dragons. Pet snakes that are easy to care for include Corn Snakes. Frogs make very good reptile pets, and new pet parents will enjoy the vibrant American Green Tree Frog. Russian Tortoises are wonderfully laidback reptile pets for beginners without the same aquatic needs as turtles.
Whether you’re looking for reptile pets for kids or tame animals to keep you company, there are lots of friendly pet reptile species.
Our cold-blooded creatures have a range of personalities, and there are reptile pets you can hold and even cuddle with. The best reptile pets for handling are generally the friendly ones, and one of the friendliest reptile pets is the Bearded Dragon.
Don’t be fooled by the name—this lizard is gentle, social and awake during the day. Affectionately referred to as “Beardies,” these scaly playmates often love being picked up by their owners.
Tortoises are one of the longest living reptiles on the planet, so they’re resilient and relatively easy to take care of. Low-maintenance tortoises stay small and eat a diet of leafy greens.
Crested Geckos are reptile pets that are easy to take care of, great for children or novice pet parents. Their nocturnal diet consists of specialized crested gecko food three evenings a week.
There are many factors to consider when inviting pet reptiles into your household. The best pet for you will largely depend on what you most value in your new friend. Think about your budget, living space and available time. From small reptile pets with minimal diets to large colorful species with unique habitat requirements, Petco has your reptile needs covered so you can enjoy creating a happy, healthy life with your pet.

Do Petco vets take care of red ear slider turtles
Will petco accept my 2 year old Tokay Gecko? Its had a fairly rough life with it losing and regrowing its tail and has been mishandled somewhat often by its previous owner. Ive had him for several months now and i check on him daily but he still doesn't seem to trust me. Unlike his previous owners I used gentle movements and never try to manhandle him. Its gotten to the point where ive lost interest in trying to befriend the little guy and want to give him a new home.
What snakes are the easiest to care for as a first-time owner?
I rescued (was abandoned to die) a turtle (or tortoise) about a month ago. I would like to have her (or him) checked and to get some guidance to learn how to take care of properly. Does Pecto has Vets that are reptiles specialists?
My Pet is a mid size lizard. Tegu began to tremble upper and lower toes. I could see his muscles spaz. He really cares for no food such as crickets and worms. He had a mouse 5 days ago. There was some soured watermelon in his cage I removed. I really do not want him to die.
