How do I know if my Reptile is Sick?
By: David Balderrama, DVM
Imagine for a moment that you and your pet reptile switched places for a day. You are now a lizard (or turtle or snake) living in the world's smallest artificial rain forest (or desert perhaps).
What is Salmonella?
By: James C. Little, DVM

Salmonella is rod-shaped, usually motile bacteria that is pathogenic to man and other warm-blooded animals and causes food poisoning, gastrointestinal inflammation, and diseases of the genital tract. This bacteria is extremely common in reptiles and can cause severe, life-threatening illness in both humans and reptiles.
