Reptile Awareness Day- October 21st

Every year on October 21, reptile enthusiasts celebrate Reptile Awareness Day. This day is intended to promote education for the conservation and assessment of reptiles, to learn about their natural habitats, their contribution to the environment and the factors that threaten them.

This day was created not only for reptile enthusiasts who already know reptiles, but also those who are ignorant, afraid of reptiles and think that everyone of them is dangerous and venomous. Many snakes are killed every year by people who thought they were poisonous. For example, snakes of the Coluber species that are common in populated areas are mistakenly identified as a viper and many times when people encounter them, they kill them.

Reptiles are a group of cold-blooded animals with nearly 10,000 known species.

What characterizes reptiles is that they are not mammals, not birds, they have cold blood, scales or shells and they bring offspring to the world by laying eggs.

Among the reptiles can be found turtles, snakes, lizards, crocodiles and more.

Reptiles are called reptology. No, the snails are not reptiles, they belong to the molluscs department, to Subdivision of cochlear.

Iguana Day- September 8

It is true that the iguana is an aggressive, cold-blooded reptile, with frightening bites and a tail that flutters loudly, but many people think it is cute.

Iguana Day is meant for us to get to know this cute creature and to raise awareness of how to treat it.

As is the case with so many pets, even the people who adopt iguanas do not always understand why they committed when they took home a baby iguana. This small package of scales can reach one meter and a half in length one day and has very specific nutritional needs and its own personality. They do not just say that it is easy to like iguanas but difficult to treat them.

Iguanas can be adorable pets, but unfortunately they are sometimes sold to people who do not know why they are entering and how to care for them properly.

This is why Iguana Awareness Day was created. This day is the ideal opportunity to learn how to keep your iguana tamed and friendly, how to take care of its health, personal care and how to tame it comfortably. With proper care and attention, an iguana can be a wonderful and rewarding pet for many years.
