The Silent Epidemic
As a reptile rescue, we have seen the trends come and go. Fluctuations in what reptiles are "in" and what are on the down-slide. Originating countless years ago, when the reptile trade began, there was little knowledge of husbandry, and as a result, many of these reptiles died of bad practices. Let alone the fact that many of the "captive" reptiles at the time were wild-caught and forced into the pet trade. Once again, we have seen a new trend that we fear has contributed to the rise in uneducated reptile owners, the COVID-19 Pandemic. For many, this doesn't seem like a likely contributor. But let us tell you why it's the complete opposite.
