Welcome to Zoo Med Laboratories!
Here at Zoo Med, animals are our passion, and for 47 years we have made it our mission to supply the very best in exotic pet foods, reptile products, and reptile habitats. As a company made up of reptile hobbyists, we strive to provide the supplies and knowledge needed to successfully care for reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects and other exotic pets to keep them happy and healthy.
The reptile supplies, accessories, and tools we manufacture are first tested at our office on the private collection of animals we house here. Many of us have desk pets, and many of those desks are wedged into places
Breeding and caring for these animals daily sets us apart by giving us a clear understanding of fellow hobbyists’ needs and those of their animals. We love our pets and truly are a company of pet people for pet people!
Whether you are an experienced reptile snake breeder or gecko breeder working with hundreds of animals, or you’re looking into picking up your first pet bearded dragon, Zoo Med is sure to have what you need.

Did you know there are actually 5 different subspecies of Leopard Gecko?
Here at Zoo Med we work with Eublepharis macularius, the Common Leopard Gecko, and Eublepharis fuscus, the West Indian Leopard Gecko.
This species is native to the forested hills and scrublands of Western India where it prowls in the early evening hours looking for tasty insects, including scorpions!
West Indian Leopard Geckos have a high amount of dark pattern coevering their heads, torso, and tails which is where the name "fuscus" comes from, which translates to dark or dusky.
Here at Zoo Med we have had some reproductive success which is when we learned the babies are quite vocal well into subadulthood!

Recap of our experience with the #solareclipse yesterday!
Even though we didn`t notice a change in animal behavior, we did notice the UV Index go down and the LUX go down!
Our store of the month for April is @neherpetoculture! Husband and wife duo Mike and Jessica run the business together and focus on being a bioactive specialty shop. They originally launched this unusual business model as “online only” back in 2012, but launched their in person store in 2022.
“Our goal with our new Plainville (CT) showroom was to help people with an active curiosity about animals & bioactive environments learn about professional grade husbandry, vivarium design, and plant care. Sharing the creative process with our customers 1-on-1 has been a great experience. The environments that we help folks create are more enriching for animals, and have the capability to be sustainable and self-cleaning in the long term. It`s a wonderful feeling to have a positive impact on the local enthusiast community and their animals.
The store has also allowed newer customers that are just starting out to ask questions and learn from our experienced members of staff. When folks leave the shop feeling confident about a terrarium project, we feel like we`ve done our job. We try to make the whole process as fun & enjoyable as possible.”
There are a few species bred in-house at New England Herp, and these are mostly passion projects for Mike:
“I`m a huge fan of New Caledonian Geckos. Gargoyles, Cresteds, Leachies, and Eurydactylodes are some of my all-time favorites due to their ease of care, personalities, and propensity to thrive in living terrarium environments. As far as difficult projects go, our Mantella, Glass Frogs, and Vietnamese Mossy Frogs have been ‘about ready to produce offspring’ for about a year now. We`ll have some eggs one of these days!"
Mike hopes to develop the store by adding a classroom and starting educational programs, while also increasing plant and product options. Already the store works with a local VOAG (vocational agriculture) program, and has lots of custom equipment like CNC machining, 3D printing, glass cutting, welding, woodworking, etc. to create terrariums for offices, zoos, museums, universities, and the general public.
Make sure to show this store some love this month!

Thanks to @brassmanreptiles for the great review of our #crestedgeckofood!
Our #crestedgecko food has organic fruits, probiotics, and black soldier fly larvae that #geckos love. Our standard formula comes in 3 flavors: #watermelon, #tropicalfruit, amd #plum. Our #blueberry breeder has more protein, fat, and calcium for breeding animals or growing juveniles.
Can you guess who`s making their debut this #tortoisetuesday?

Our store of the month for March is @dfwreptarium in Plano, TX! Store owner David Spicer has had a lifelong passion for animals, and paired with his background in construction, he’s been able to create some stunning store displays.
In those displays are their myriad of store pets, including Banana the sunglow boa, Professor Plum the Guyana red tail boa, Biggie Cheese the trans pecos rat snake, Gus the sailfin dragon, Tinky Winky the Monkey Tailed Skink, Potato the blue tongue skink, Teri the crocodile monitor, Aries the Chinese water dragon, Sally the African grey parrot, Mango the blue and gold macaw, and many more. Of these pets, David says the crocodile monitor and the birds tend to be more challenging than the others to work with because they have moody days and it’s important to be able to read their body language.
They breed several animals in-house, including leachies, green basilisks, Chinese water dragons, chahoua geckos, ball pythons, and various colubrids. They also offer custom builds, maintenance, and boarding to their customers, as well as school tours, birthday parties, and offsite events.
In his free time, David saturates his life with more animals, and has several dogs, cats, inverts, and pet rats at home. He also has a passion for cars, and all his employees enjoy the outdoors. As a kid David would spend his days outside flipping rocks to see what reptiles he could find, and the love has never faded.
This April will mark 10 years in business for DFW Reptarium, and they hope to continue expanding their store throughout Texas. This has been a lifelong dream finally come true for David, and it’s an impressive feat. If you’re ever in Plano, it’s plain to see this is an outstanding store that deserves a pitstop!
Our sales team was challenged to make the best designed #terrarium in a @snake.discovery build off. First they competed in a series of #survivor games to win an advantage, and then they put their skills to the test in transforming their identical terrariums into unique scapes.
Check out their YouTube for the full 2 part video, and make sure to vote on your favorite build before tomorrow night!
Look at what you can do with #ExcavatorClay!

Lovely testimonial about our Aspen Snake Bedding by @jkv.animals:
"I have now tried a lot with the garter snakes in order to be able to offer them the best conditions. The bioactive terrariums were beautiful, but sometimes too humid, so the snakes became sick. If the ground was drier, then unfortunately it was too dusty, which wasn`t good either.
Since these snakes dig a lot, these problems are much more serious than, for example, with my corn snakes, which are almost never on the ground.
Now I have decided to use aspen snake bedding from @zoomedlabs as a substrate. And what can I say... the snakes love it. They really dig tunnels that don`t collapse again, but remain intact. And it isn`t dusty!"
They will add #LeafLitter on top to add to the natural look of the tank while still using #AspenSnakeBedding as the base for burrowing.
Thank you @jkv.animals for the unsolicited review!
