Top 5 Vegan Reptiles | Reptiles That Don't Eat Bugs or Rodents!

Reptiles often eat other animals and for some that can be a deal breaker. Are there any reptiles that only eat plants? Well yes, and these five make amazing pets!


Rdents for some people is a deal breaker so the logical alternative would be an herbivore reptile that only eats plants. Great news, there are several great salad munching animals to choose from. If you are into big reptiles a rock iguana or a rhino iguana might be the right option for you! Cyclura as a family are so interesting and unique. These big lizards can be amazing pets for the right keeper and they are 100% herbivores. A smaller but still sizable option if you're looking for an arboreal lizard might be a monkey tailed skink. Monkey tail skinks have a wicked prehensile tail and can have an amazing temperament for an arboreal species. of course these skinks only eat plants which makes the diet rather easy to take care of and overall these can be great pets! A more common vegan lizard would be a uromastyx. There are several species ranging from bright colours to more drab colors and small or large options too. All Uromastyx eat plants and seeds only making them great pet options for those keepers who want a really cool lizard buddy with super hot and dry environments. Tortoises can't be overlooked, well most of them. Red foots and other similar tortoises do eat some protein but most other tortoises are 100% plant based shell bois! Want something really unique? Chuckwalla lizards are really cool, come in many colors and of course that diet it is 100% leafy greens and other plants!
