HUSBANDRY \ huz-band-ree:

1. The science of caring for animals.

Example: “ReptiFiles.com is the best place to learn about correct reptile husbandry.”

Meet the Author

My name is Mariah Healey, professional reptile husbandry researcher and consultant. I have kept a variety of exotic pets for the majority of my life, but I have worked with reptiles specifically for over 10 years. I am also currently working on my master’s degree in natural history-based exotic animal husbandry from West Liberty University!

I find reptiles so wonderfully captivating, challenging, and diverse that I have dedicated my career to understanding them better. That’s how ReptiFiles was born!

What is ReptiFiles®? ReptiFiles.com is a compilation of factual, science-based research from the best reptile care resources in the world, packaged in one neat website. I mainly focus on writing comprehensive reptile care manuals, but you’ll also find abbreviated care sheets, product reviews, resource directories, and the occasional blog post here.

What sets this site apart from the rest? Well, for one, ReptiFiles offers reptile care information that you can actually trust. And it’s all FREE, because I believe that good information should be accessible to all. The rest is explained here.
