Welcome to Zoo Med Laboratories!

Here at Zoo Med, animals are our passion, and for 47 years we have made it our mission to supply the very best in exotic pet foods, reptile products, and reptile habitats. As a company made up of reptile hobbyists, we strive to provide the supplies and knowledge needed to successfully care for reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects and other exotic pets to keep them happy and healthy.

The reptile supplies, accessories, and tools we manufacture are first tested at our office on the private collection of animals we house here. Many of us have desk pets, and many of those desks are wedged into places inbetween the 200+ terrariums, aquariums, paludariums, and other habitats at our facility. Inside our Animal Room we house over 90 species ranging from chameleons, geckos, skinks, frogs, fish, newts, tarantulas, and beetles. Outside in our Turtle Nirvana Greenhouse, we care for 30 species of turtles and tortoises, several of which are endangered.

Breeding and caring for these animals daily sets us apart by giving us a clear understanding of fellow hobbyists’ needs and those of their animals. We love our pets and truly are a company of pet people for pet people!

Whether you are an experienced reptile snake breeder or gecko breeder working with hundreds of animals, or you’re looking into picking up your first pet bearded dragon, Zoo Med is sure to have what you need.

Make zoomed.com your top resource for Care Sheets, UVB and Heat Lighting Guides, Reptile Substrate/Impaction Guides, Reptile Show Dates and more! Check our Social Media as well for the latest product releases, educational videos, and cute pictures of our baby animals!

Our sales team was challenged to make the best designed #terrarium in a @snake.discovery build off. First they competed in a series of #survivor games to win an advantage, and then they put their skills to the test in transforming their identical terrariums into unique scapes.

Check out their YouTube for the full 2 part video, and make sure to vote on your favorite build before tomorrow night!

Lovely testimonial about our Aspen Snake Bedding by @jkv.animals:

"I have now tried a lot with the garter snakes in order to be able to offer them the best conditions. The bioactive terrariums were beautiful, but sometimes too humid, so the snakes became sick. If the ground was drier, then unfortunately it was too dusty, which wasn`t good either.
Since these snakes dig a lot, these problems are much more serious than, for example, with my corn snakes, which are almost never on the ground.

Now I have decided to use aspen snake bedding from @zoomedlabs as a substrate. And what can I say... the snakes love it. They really dig tunnels that don`t collapse again, but remain intact. And it isn`t dusty!"

They will add #LeafLitter on top to add to the natural look of the tank while still using #AspenSnakeBedding as the base for burrowing.

Thank you @jkv.animals for the unsolicited review!

The two most important considerations for #reptile #uvb are the distance the UVB penetrates into the habitat and the width the UVB covers. Pets need to be able to expose their whole bodies to UVB while basking, and they need the appropriate strength of UVB.

Our #ReptiSun T5 bulbs come in a 5.0 and 10.0 strength and vary in length from 12 inches (30 cm) to 46 inches (116 cm) for pets big and small.

Our website has a Lighting and UVB Education Guide that can help you find the right UVB bulb for your habitat and species. Visit zoomed.com/lighting-uvb-education/
