Northern Grass Lizard
A tiny, very easy lacertid lizard of central and eastern China - shy but hardy, basking in grass and dropping its long tail to escape.
Belcher’s Sea Snake
Considered the most toxic snake known - yet notably docile and, in practice, low-risk because its fangs are weak and yield little venom. Fully marine; education-only.
Brahminy Blind Snake
A tiny, worm-like blind snake spread worldwide from Asia and Africa - harmless and beneficial, eating ants and termites underground.
Two-headed Snake (Red-tailed Short Snake)
A tiny, blunt-tailed colubrid whose tail mimics its head so both ends look alike - non-venomous and protected in China, so rarely kept.
Florida Snapping Turtle
The most heavily-spined of the four Chelydra subspecies - a fierce, heat-loving carnivore from Florida and Georgia. Adults are aggressive; a meat or farm turtle more than a pet.
Eastern Box Turtle (Carolina Box Turtle)
The familiar Carolina box turtle of eastern North America - high-domed, fireworks-patterned, and a classic (if pricey) beginner-terrestrial box turtle. Loves soaking but cannot swim.
Eastern Painted Turtle
One of four painted-turtle subspecies - smaller, plainer and a bit harder to keep than the western form, but a classic, hardy North American pet with a red-edged shell.
