Looking to adopt a reptile but want to stay within your budget? Oftentimes, smaller reptiles are less expensive than larger ones. More common reptiles are also usually cheaper than rare forms of a species. This doesn’t mean your pet won’t be extra special to you or require care and maintenance.

Some of the most affordable reptiles are: 

• Hermit crabs
• Leopard geckos
• Red ear slider turtles
• Water dragon lizard
• Tokay geckos

Keep in mind that the price of your pet is only a small part of their overall cost. Before adopting a reptile, make sure you are comfortable purchasing a habitat, food, lighting, heating, substrate, tank décor and more.

Save money by regularly checking Petco’s discount reptile supplies. You’ll find discount reptile tanks, food and much more.

Purchasing reptiles online can be a convenient way to discover the pet of your dreams. However, be sure to adopt your pet from a reputable business to ensure you receive a healthy and well-cared-for pet.

Here, you can search for reptiles available online or at your nearest neighborhood Petco Pet Care Center.

Want to adopt a reptile that enjoys handling so you can spend a lot of quality time with your new pet? You have many great options. One of the friendliest reptiles is the bearded dragon. When socialized properly, “beardies” can enjoy interacting with humans. Some beardies are happy to sit in their pet parent’s lap for hours or chill next to them on the couch.

Leopard geckos and blue-tongue skinks can also be docile when they get the proper amount of handling. Corn snakes, king snakes and ball pythons all do well when handled with the right amount of socialization. They can also be curious and active, slithering along your arms and shoulders to explore their environment.

Finally, if you have enough space, green iguanas can be very friendly with the right care and attention. Some pet parents are even comfortable giving iguana free reign in the household and walking them outdoors.
