Aquatics and Reptiles

Aquatics and Reptiles

It has been shown that aquatic and reptile species benefit from enrichment. Enrichment studies demonstrate a decrease in aggression as well as an increase in adaptability for these animals housed in a research setting. It is important to use safe products when submerging items into water. Floating plants, anchored plants and polycarbonate shelters mimic "rock" structures which aquatics and reptiles use for hiding which is an important species typical behavior.
