Welcome to ReptilesCare.com – your trusted guide to the world of reptiles, amphibians, and aquatic creatures!

My name is Alyssa S., and I’m currently an Animal Care Specialist I at Sea Turtle, Inc., located on the beautiful South Padre Island, Texas. With a professional background in marine animal husbandry, veterinary support, and habitat maintenance, I created this website to share everything I’ve learned about caring for reptiles and similar species — both in captivity and in the wild.

At ReptilesCare.com, my goal is simple: to provide clear, science-backed, and experience-based guidance for reptile enthusiasts, pet owners, and fellow animal care professionals. Whether you’re raising your first gecko or managing a large aquatic habitat, you’ll find helpful tips, product recommendations, medical insights, and step-by-step care instructions right here.

A Little About My Work:

At Sea Turtle, Inc., I care for resident sea turtles, fish, and invertebrates. My daily work includes everything from:

  • Administering medications and laser therapy
  • Performing in-house medical procedures and diagnostics
  • Maintaining life support systems (LSS) and habitat water quality
  • Assisting with surgeries, CT scans, necropsies, and cold stun events
  • Responding to wildlife emergencies and stranding calls
  • Helping manage inventory and technical equipment

This hands-on experience has taught me so much about animal health, behavior, and the critical role of habitat care. I’m passionate about sharing that knowledge with others — especially those who want to give their reptiles and aquatic animals the best life possible.

  • Habitat setup tips and water quality management
