Start with evidence
Care content links to relevant veterinary, welfare and scientific references. Where sources differ, the guide explains the difference instead of hiding it.
Keep health content in context
Health pages help readers recognize concerns and prepare useful information. They do not replace diagnosis or treatment by a reptile veterinarian, and they never give medication doses.
Make database records traceable
Food records belong to a species. Morph records distinguish visual descriptions from documented genetics, and photographs should be identified accurately.
Be transparent about gear
Gear guides explain how products were chosen and which sources support the advice. Affiliate links are disclosed on the page and in our affiliate disclosure.
Keep corrections visible
Readers can suggest corrections or better evidence at any time, and meaningful corrections are made on the page itself.
Sources on every guide
Each guide closes with the references it relied on. We favor veterinary manuals, university and veterinary hospital publications, peer reviewed research and official databases, and we do not cite competitor care sites, forums or sellers as evidence.
Checked before publishing
Every guide is reviewed against its sources before it goes live. Claims that cannot be supported are researched further or removed, and where the evidence is thin or experts disagree, the guide says so plainly.
One question per page
Each guide answers one specific question in depth, from a single food to a single health sign, and links to related guides instead of repeating them.
Updates and corrections
Care guidance changes as research improves. If you spot an error or have a better source, send it through contact and corrections. Meaningful corrections are made to the page itself.
