Reptiles & Supplies | Mitchell, SD

Ed’s Pet World carries a changing selection of reptiles and amphibians along with the habitats, heating, lighting, food, and supplies needed to care for them properly.

Whether you are setting up your first reptile habitat or adding a new species to your collection, our team can help you choose the right animal, enclosure, equipment, and everyday care supplies.

Reptiles, Amphibians & Exotic Pets

Ball Python

Ball Pythons are popular pet snakes known for their generally calm temperament and manageable size. With proper care, they can live around 20 to 30 years or more in captivity, so they are a long-term commitment. They need a secure enclosure with an appropriate temperature gradient, controlled humidity, hiding areas, fresh water, and a diet of properly sized rodents. Regular monitoring of temperature, humidity, feeding, and shedding helps keep them healthy.

King Snakes

King Snakes are active, hardy snakes known for their attractive patterns and relatively straightforward care. Depending on the species, they often live around 15 to 20 years in captivity. They need a secure enclosure, warm and cool areas for thermoregulation, hiding places, clean water, and properly sized prey. King Snakes are strong feeders and should generally be housed alone because they may prey on other snakes.

Bearded Dragon "Beardies"

Bearded Dragons are friendly, curious reptiles that are popular because of their calm personalities and interactive behavior. They commonly live about 8 to 12 years with proper care. Bearded Dragons need a spacious enclosure, strong UVB lighting, a basking area with the correct temperature, fresh water, and a balanced diet of insects and leafy greens. Proper lighting, calcium supplementation, and temperature control are especially important for healthy bones and growth. 

 Chameleons

Chameleons are striking reptiles known for their color changes, independently moving eyes, and specialized climbing ability. Lifespan varies by species, but many commonly kept chameleons live around 3 to 7 years in captivity. They require a tall, well-ventilated enclosure with branches and plants, strong UVB lighting, proper basking temperatures, controlled humidity, and regular misting or dripping water. Chameleons also need a varied diet of appropriately sized insects and careful attention to hydration. 

Green Anoles

Green Anoles are small, active lizards known for their bright green coloration, ability to shift toward brown tones, and expandable pink throat fan called a dewlap. With proper care, they typically live about 4 to 8 years. They need a tall, well-ventilated enclosure with branches and plants for climbing, appropriate UVB lighting, a warm basking area, moderate-to-high humidity, and regular misting. Green Anoles eat small live insects such as crickets and roaches, and they generally do best as display pets rather than frequent handling animals.

Tortoises

Tortoises are fascinating reptiles known for their slow pace, sturdy shells, and exceptionally long lifespans. Depending on the species, many can live 40 to 80 years or even longer, making them a major long-term commitment. They require plenty of floor space, proper heat and UVB lighting, species-appropriate humidity, fresh water, and a diet based largely on grasses, leafy greens, and other suitable plant foods. Their enclosure should allow room to explore, bask, hide, and move comfortably. 

Emperor Scorpion

Emperor Scorpions are large, impressive arachnids known for their dark coloration and generally less defensive nature compared with some other scorpion species. They typically live around 5 to 8 years with proper care. They need a secure enclosure with warm temperatures, high humidity, deep substrate for burrowing, hiding places, and access to clean water. Their diet consists mainly of live insects such as crickets and roaches. Although they are often considered relatively calm, they should still be handled as little as possible. 

White's Tree Frogs

White’s Tree Frogs are large, easygoing amphibians known for their rounded appearance, calm temperament, and distinctive green to bluish coloration. With proper care, they can live about 10 to 15 years in captivity. They need a tall enclosure with branches and climbing areas, moderate humidity, clean water, appropriate temperatures, and regular misting. Their diet consists mainly of live insects such as crickets and roaches. White’s Tree Frogs are generally hardy compared with many amphibians, but their skin is sensitive, so handling should be limited and done with clean, damp hands.

Axolotls

Axolotls are unique aquatic salamanders recognized by their feathery external gills and unusual appearance. With proper care, they often live around 10 to 15 years. They require a cool, fully aquatic aquarium with clean, stable water, gentle filtration, and no sharp decorations that could damage their delicate skin. Axolotls do best in cooler water and should not be kept at tropical fish temperatures. They are carnivorous and typically eat foods such as worms, pellets, and other appropriate high-protein foods.   Fun fact: Axolotls can regenerate lost limbs, parts of their spinal cord, and even portions of some organs without forming typical scar tissue. 

Habitats, Heating, Lighting & Supplies

Habitats & Enclosures

Heating & UVB Lighting

Heating & UVB Lighting

Ed’s Pet World carries reptile habitats, terrariums, aquariums, lids, and enclosure accessories for snakes, lizards, tortoises, frogs, axolotls, and other exotic pets. The right enclosure depends on the species, adult size, activity level, temperature needs, and humidity requirements. Our team can help you choose an appropriate setup with enough room for your pet to move, hide, bask, climb, or swim comfortably.

Heating & UVB Lighting

Heating & UVB Lighting

Heating & UVB Lighting

Proper heat and lighting are essential for many reptiles. Ed’s Pet World offers basking bulbs, heat lamps, heat emitters, UVB lighting, fixtures, thermometers, and other temperature-control products. Reptiles such as Bearded Dragons, Green Anoles, tortoises, and chameleons depend on carefully managed heat and UVB exposure to support normal activity, digestion, and overall health.

Substrate, Hides & Habitat Decor

Ed’s Pet World carries feeding options and nutritional supplies for a variety of reptiles, amphibians, and exotic pets. Depending on the species, this may include live insects, prepared foods, pellets, calcium, vitamins, and other supplements. Our team can help you understand basic feeding needs and choose appropriate food and supplements for your animal’s species and life stage.

Choosing the Right Reptile, Amphibian or Exotic Pet

Reptiles and amphibians can make fascinating pets, but each species has different needs for space, temperature, humidity, lighting, diet, and handling. Before choosing a pet, it’s important to consider the animal’s adult size, lifespan, activity level, care requirements, and the type of habitat it needs.

Some species, such as Bearded Dragons and Ball Pythons, are popular with newer reptile owners, while animals like chameleons and axolotls can require more specialized care and carefully controlled environments.

Our team at Ed’s Pet World can help you compare species, understand basic care requirements, and choose an animal and habitat setup that fit your experience level, home, and lifestyle.

Fun Facts About Some of Our Reptiles & Exotic Pets

Ball Python

Ball Pythons get their name from their habit of curling into a tight ball when they feel threatened. They are also known for their calm temperament and wide variety of beautiful color and pattern morphs.

Bearded Dragon

Bearded Dragons can communicate with body language. They may bob their heads, wave their arms, or puff out the spiny area under their chin — their “beard” — depending on their mood or social interaction.

Chameleon

Chameleons are famous for changing color, but they do not do it just for camouflage. Color changes can also reflect temperature, stress, mood, communication, and social signals.

Green Anole

Green Anoles can change from bright green to brown depending on temperature, stress, surroundings, and activity. Males also display a colorful throat fan called a dewlap to communicate and attract mates.

Tortoise

Tortoises are among the longest-lived land animals. Some species can live for many decades, and certain tortoises have been known to live well beyond 100 years.

White’s Tree Frog

White’s Tree Frogs are sometimes nicknamed “Dumpy Tree Frogs” because of their rounded appearance. They are also known for being relatively calm and hardy compared with many other frog species.

Axolotl

Axolotls are famous for their ability to regenerate lost limbs and other body tissues. Unlike most salamanders, they usually remain fully aquatic throughout their lives.

Emperor Scorpion

Emperor Scorpions fluoresce under ultraviolet light because of compounds in their outer shell. Under a UV flashlight, they can appear bright blue-green.
