Are you looking at getting into the Reptile Hobby? Great Choice! We have stores located in Hoppers Crossing and Ferntree Gully.

Visit the Reptile Department at Waterlife Aquarium for probably the best range of animals and products in Melbourne. Secondly, our store is a direct importer of a product from overseas which cuts out the middle man saving you money. Make an effort to drive over to Hoppers Crossing or Ferntree Gully and check out our HUGE range of Terrariums and all associated Reptile items.

Check out our store video below showing our reptile product range, and then check the video to look at some of our terrarium and enclosure range.

There are several species of reptiles that can make great pets, including bearded dragons, blue-tongued lizards, pythons and geckos. It is important to research their care requirements thoroughly before getting one as a pet and to ensure that you obtain a wildlife licence is required.

Remember that the licence can take up to 4 weeks to be issued, so this will give you time to organise the enclosure.

Before you decide on which reptile you buy, check out all the requirements required for the species and investigate the time, effort, and care needed for that reptile. For example, Lizards tend to be more costly to feed as they eat live food (which can be expensive), and they eat every day. Regarding a snake/ python, they can be fed a mouse or rat once weekly, which will be less time-consuming and less expensive.
