Scaleyvet Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I have seen a few posts asking about this and they have been told to search. I have searched and am still having trouble! Basically I am studying for a vet exam that gives me an extra qualification in reptiles, amphibians and small mammals. Part of the exam is husbandry of commonly kept species. In my experience, the most commonly kept reptiles are beardies, leopard geckos, water dragons, red eared terrapins and a variety of native skinks and geckos. If I've missed any biggies please let me know! Cheers guys, Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
