Welcome to Zoo Med Laboratories!
Here at Zoo Med, animals are our passion, and for 49 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.

Time to add the finishing touches to our live-planted West Indian leopard gecko enclosure! Although these geckos come from arid environments, they spend much of their time underground, where moisture levels are higher. We help maintain proper hydration and humidity by incorporating live plants like jade, regularly misting part of the enclosure, using a moisture-friendly substrate, and providing standing water. We hope this helps inspire your next arid build!

Here’s how we transformed this 25-gallon, double-door enclosure into the ultimate arid grow-out terrarium for a young West Indian leopard gecko! Eublepharis fuscus is notorious for being one of the most vocal members of the leopard gecko complex, and for good reason! We’ve yet to hatch a single baby that wasn’t ready to scream its little heart out. Of course, this kind of reaction should never be deliberately provoked. Thankfully, most individuals eventually grow out of this defensive behavior as they mature, developing into the calm adults we know and love.

Congratulations to our October Store of the Month, @aquariumdepot, located in Citrus Heights, CA!
Founders Jeff and Jason opened their retail store in 2013 with a goal to create a shop they’d be excited to visit themselves. Their vision was to offer a huge selection of freshwater and saltwater fish, coral, aquatic plants, reptiles, feeders, and supplies all under one roof.
Today, Aquarium and Reptile Depot features a number of beautiful display tanks, an extensive selection of aquarium and reptile products, and a diverse assortment of live animals. The team’s attention to detail and commitment to quality ensure customers can bring home healthy animals and find the products they need to care for them.
If you’re in the Sacramento County area, Aquarium and Reptile Depot deserves a spot on your must-visit list!
Congratulations to Jeff, Jason, and the entire team on being our October Store of the Month!

The fiery and flashy ember bee isopod! (Ardentialla sp.) Fun fact, this was one of the test species when developing our Creatures Isopod Food, and our colony is now on its fourth generation utilizing this diet as its staple.

Birds’ vibrant colors come in part from the foods they eat! To display these colors, they need to absorb pigments called carotenoids, found exclusively in plant-based foods, such as fruits, seeds, and vegetables. Make sure your Avian friends are getting everything they need with Zoo Med’s Avian Plus Vitamin and Mineral Supplements.
