It’s that time of year again!
Mugs and tee-shirts are great and all, but when it comes to Christmas gifts, creativity shows just how much you care — even if you don’t share their passion for reptiles. To make your search easier (believe me, Googling “reptile gifts” doesn’t work as well as it should), we’ve put together a list of ideas for all tastes, from the sentimental to the sophisticated. To make it a little easier this year, we’ve divided our picks into categories:
- Reptile Art
- Reptile Jewelry
- Reptile-Themed Household Items
- Miscellaneous Reptile Goodies
- Reptile Care
And if the special reptile person you’re shopping for happens to be you — hey, we don’t judge.

Jewelry
Snake Choker Necklace
According to the creator, Lifesong Jewelry, snakes symbolize rebirth, transformation, and healing. Not sure about that (although it’s good to see a positive association for once), but I do know that this necklace would make a great gift for anyone in your life who loves both snakes and sparkly things.

Reptile Care
There are lots of great reptile care products out there, (if you want to see a full list, check out Our Favorite Products), but there are a few that really changed the game for us in our reptile room. Your favorite reptile enthusiast is sure to love them as much as we do!
Magnaturals
Magnaturals is a set of functional reptile decor products that maximize the available space in your reptile enclosures by adhering to enclosure walls with super strong magnets. This makes removal for cleaning very easy, and unlike suction cups which are notorious for falling off, these are strong enough for you not to have to worry about your reptile taking a fall!
