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.

Nothing like a nice waterfall terrarium! This was a fun build showcasing our Repti Rapids Skull Waterfall. The nice thing about utilizing preconstructed waterfalls is that they don’t interfere with the moisture content of the substrate, which keeps your habitat from getting saturated and soggy. There are also a whole host of species that benefit from moving water, and a nice boost in humidity!

Paludariums can be easy to set up and offer the best of both worlds when it comes to terrariums and aquariums! Some of our favorite paludarium inhabitants include species that readily utilize both land and water naturally, such as tree frogs, newts, garter snakes, and more.
We want to see what you’re providing paludariums for, so drop some photos in the comments! 🐸
