Guide Note

Most reptiles—with the notable exception of mature Green Iquanas—are carnivores, and eat live prey. Pet reptiles, depending on species, eat live or freshly killed prey (including rodents, worms and insects), as well as specialty commercial foods.

Specific Needs

Pet reptiles are fed according to their species. The following list offers guidelines for several species.

Iguanas: Adult green iguanas are herbivores. Their diet may include alfalfa, various squash, dandelion greens and mustard greens, cassava, parsnip and commercial foods such as Rep-Cal Adult Iguana Food.

Leopard Geckos: Leopard Geckos eat small crickets and a variety of worms, along with calcium supplements and other foods.

Snakes: Many snake owners feed their pets live rodents, but a live rodent may bight the snake internally as it's being digested, killing the snake. Depending on variety, snakes eat rodents, worms, frogs, slugs and fish. There are commercial snake foods as well, some of them pork-based.
