Common health issues reptiles may
experience in their lifetime

Cryptosporidiosis

Usually found in snakes and lizards, cryptosporidiosis is difficult to treat and requires immediate veterinary attention.

Dystocia

A common problem that occurs when a female can't pass her eggs, it requires x-rays, blood tests, and sometimes surgery.

External Parasites

Parasites like fleas, ticks, and lice can transmit diseases and cause anaemia.

Metabolic Bone Disease

This can affect all reptiles, but the symptoms respond well to veterinary intervention and support.

Shell Infections

Physical trauma can cause fractures that lead to infection but if this is brought to a vet's attention, shells can often be repaired.

Worms

Roundworms, hookworms, and pinworms are spread easily and may require prescribed antibiotics.
