The best sites for reptile fans

By Gina Spadafori

It's not always easy to find good information on unusual pets such as snakes, lizards, turtles, frogs and other reptiles and amphibians. These Web sites can help pet owners connect with other herp fans and find reliable care advice:

Kingsnake.com (www.kingsnake.com) is the oldest and largest online reptile community in the world. It offers free chats, newsletters and photo galleries, as well as special guest events with leading herpetologists, breeders, veterinarians and researchers.

Herp Vet Connection (www.herpvetconnection.com) lists vets who are familiar with cold-blooded animals. Don't wait until your reptile is sick to find a herp-friendly veterinarian

Herp and Green Iguana Information Collection (www.anapsid.org) is an encyclopedic resource and one of the most respected herp sites on the Web, covering captive care requirements for lizards, snakes, invertebrates and amphibians. Its iguana resources in particular are a gold mine for anyone keeping, or considering, iguanas as pets.
