REPTILE & AMPHIBIAN STOCKING
Stocking Savvy sources all its reptiles and amphibians from licensed captive stock. It is generally best to stock these animals after or alongside others, or into established ponds. Turtles are excellent in any pond environment large or small, while amphibians prefer shallow ponds, wetlands, and very heavy vegetation. All species must be native to the area being stocked. All orders can be send directly to site or homeowner (shipping not included).
