You know what? It’s 2020. No more minimalistic care recommendations. Bettas? 10 gallons, minimum. Bearded dragons? 4 x 2 x 2 feet enclosures, and same thing with ball pythons. Enrichment is mandatory. Uvb is mandatory. Varied diets. Safe excursions outside. Overhead halogen lighting. Harness train your cats. Gut load your insects. No more overstocked tanks. 1 years worth of research minimum before getting any animal. Multiple sources for research. Set up the enclosure before buying the animal. Have an exotic vet in your area and take your pet in for regular check ups.

No more minimalistic care! I dont want to hear that this animal is fine in a tiny tank. No! Enough! We have the information available. It is a click away. We have groups that you can contact to buy used tanks. We can find local breeders.

Let’s raise the bar above the bare minimum of keeping an animal alive.
