Enclosure FAQ’s

1. What size enclosure does my reptile need?

 The enclosure size depends on the species, age, and activity level of your reptile. As a general rule, the enclosure should allow your reptile to move freely, with enough space for hiding spots, basking areas, and environmental enrichment.

2. Do reptile enclosures need heating and lighting?

 Yes. Most reptiles require a heat source and UVB lighting to regulate their body temperature and support bone health. The type of lighting and heating will vary based on the species you keep.

3. What materials are best for a reptile enclosure?

 High-quality enclosures are often made from sealed timber, glass, PVC, or melamine. These materials provide good insulation, are easy to clean, and offer durability for long-term use.

4. Can I customise my reptile enclosure?

 Absolutely! At RSW Reptiles, we offer fully custom enclosures tailored to your pet’s specific needs, including size, ventilation, lighting, finishes, and built-in features like shelves or waterproof bases

5. How do I clean and maintain the enclosure?

 Regular spot-cleaning and weekly deep cleans are essential. Use reptile-safe disinfectants, remove waste promptly, and ensure the substrate and decorations remain hygienic to prevent illness.
