About

Welcome to SnakeTracks.com! I’m Brock, the proud founder and operator of this extensive resource hub since its inception in 1999. Here, we are deeply passionate about the fascinating world of exotic pets. From the mesmerizing slither of a snake to the delicate crawl of a tarantula; from the vibrant patterns of a chameleon to the playful antics of an axolotl—our heart beats for them all.

Our mission at SnakeTracks.com extends far beyond just sharing our enthusiasm. We are dedicated to providing comprehensive, accurate, and dependable information on a wide array of exotic pets including lizards, snakes, turtles, tarantulas, iguanas, scorpions, tegus, monitor lizards, Leopard Geckos, Crested Geckos, Salamanders, Frogs, Toads, Skinks, Chameleons, Axolotls, and even the world of invertebrate nutrition with species such as hermit crabs, dubia roaches, crickets, wax worms, super worms, crickets, and mealworms.

Our content, ranging from regional species overviews, meticulous care guides, health and breeding insights, habitat setups, to authentic product reviews, is crafted with two primary aims:

  1. Educate and Empower: We want to be the definitive source of information for both the seasoned exotic pet enthusiasts and those just embarking on this captivating journey. Our goal is to ensure that every caretaker, irrespective of their experience, can access precise and reliable data to ensure the best care possible for their unique pets.
  2. Promote Conservation: Beyond individual pet care, we have a broader vision. The marvel and beauty of these creatures are a testament to nature’s wonders. By highlighting their care, their habitats, and their conservation status, we aim to foster a community that’s informed, sensitive, and active in preserving these species and their natural environments.

We are always striving to enhance, expand, and elevate the content and resources we provide. Your feedback, questions, and insights are invaluable in this journey. I personally invite you to share your thoughts with us at [email protected].

Together, let’s celebrate the beauty and intrigue of exotic pets and work towards a world where they can thrive, both in our homes and in the wild.
