Red-eyed Tree Frog
The iconic big-eyed, green-and-orange hylid of Central American rainforests - fully nocturnal and a live-food specialist. An amphibian, not a reptile.
Indian Bullfrog (Tiger Frog)
The stout 'frog of Asia' with tiger-like markings - a China Grade II protected amphibian. Private keeping is illegal; profile is for farmers and breeders.
Marine Iguana
The only lizard that forages in the sea - Galapagos endemic, black and salt-crusted, drinking seawater and eating marine algae. A cold-water specialist, not a typical pet.
Golden Python (Albino Burmese Python)
The golden 'patternless' morph of the Burmese python - a revered, wholly captive-bred albino that cannot survive in the wild. A giant, gentle snake; private keeping needs a permit in China.
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.
Large-headed Turtle
A Chinese-endemic 'big-head' turtle that looks like a Reeves' but with a huge triangular head it cannot retract - a threatened, somewhat delicate water turtle.
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.
Spiny Turtle
The 'sun turtle' - a bizarre, spiky juvenile that sadly loses most of its spikes with age. CITES II and wild-imported specimens often arrive near death; a delicate, specialist turtle.
White-lipped Mud Turtle
A strikingly pretty mud-turtle relative - the 'mango-head' morph can flush yellow onto limbs and shell. Friendly and mid-priced, but it cannot brumate and must be kept heated year-round.
Pancake Tortoise
A flat, flexible, rock-crevice tortoise (Malacochersus tornieri) that flees instead of hiding - a fast, escape-prone, CITES II conservation concern.
