Zoo Med Laboratories is a global leader in providing premium products for the exotic pet community, specializing in the care of reptiles, amphibians, and other unique animals. Driven by a genuine passion for exotic pets and a foundation of hands-on experience, Zoo Med has made it their mission to supply hobbyists and professionals alike with the very best in innovative habitats, foods, and accessories.
A Legacy of Innovation and Expertise
Since their founding over 40 years ago, Zoo Med has been on the cutting edge of herpetological husbandry. They famously invented the first UVB fluorescent lamp for reptiles in 1993—a technology that became a worldwide standard for zoos, veterinarians, and hobbyists, fundamentally changing how reptiles are kept in captivity. This spirit of innovation continues to inform their extensive product line.
Tested by Pet People, For Pet People
What truly sets Zoo Med apart is their commitment to real-world testing. Their staff are dedicated exotic pet enthusiasts who maintain a large private collection of animals—including over 90 species of reptiles, amphibians, and more—right at their facility. Every product, from terrariums, UVB lighting, and heating elements to vitamin supplements, specialty substrates, and prepared foods, is developed and tested within this environment. This ensures everything they manufacture is built on a deep, practical understanding of animal needs.
Whether you're an experienced breeder or welcoming your first bearded dragon, Zoo Med Laboratories provides the knowledge, support, and high-quality products you need to keep your exotic pets happy, healthy, and thriving.
