About The Reptile Room - The Reptile Room

Who’s Behind The Reptile Room?

Hey there!

My name is Christopher and I want to thank you for stopping by my little slice of the internet! You made it here because you’re interested in learning more about what The Reptile Room is all about.

Simply put, I want to help improve the lives of herps and the people who keep them by providing high-quality and completely free information about every reptile. Whether it’s a question about leopard gecko behavior or the best way to clean a red-eared slider’s tank we want to cover it.

More knowledgeable keepers mean happier reptiles and that’s what we’re all about.

But I also know that if you’re just starting to care for reptiles things can be pretty confusing. It’s an entirely new world and there’s a lot to learn. We want to help those folks too!

In short, if you love reptiles then you’re in the right place.

He’s now been an active herper for more than 2 decades and has worked with a huge range of species from the leopard gecko to the King Cobra.
