Reptiles are amazing creatures. Whether you are interested in snakes, lizards, or turtles, there is always something different and fascinating to be learned. Children are also intrigued by the foreign looking animals, with scales and shells rather than skin and hair, and often convince their parents to let them have a newt or a snake to keep them company in their room, a turtle or salamander to study for a science fair project. It is estimated that there are over 11 million reptiles being held as pets in America, 11 million snakes and lizards and turtles that act as pets for our children, but bring many risks into our households that few realize.

Leopard geckos are great for your first gecko as they are the most popular, inexpensive and very adaptable. Many people choose a leopard gecko as their first pet gecko.

The biggest health risk in keeping reptiles is the threat of Salmonella, a bacteria which many reptiles carry and can transmit to humans. Salmonella can cause life threatening symptoms in people, including severe dehydration, through bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. In children and elderly people, this bacterium is not only severe, but can kill. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that over 5% of all Salmonella cases were caused by exposure to some form of reptile.
