Plants and Prepared Diets
Let your reptile’s own diet guide decide whether plants or prepared food belong.
No produce bowl or commercial diet works for every reptile.
Prepare only the edible portion
Confirm identity, wash produce, remove spoiled areas and unsuitable pits, seeds, stems, or rind, then cut the food to a manageable size for the species.
Know when to call
Call a veterinarian who treats reptiles after a suspected toxic exposure, repeated regurgitation, breathing trouble, severe weakness, or a marked change after feeding.
