The most common health problems experienced by reptiles are related to their diet and housing conditions.

Metabolic Bone Disorder is caused by an insufficient absorption of calcium from the diet, and can be avoided by supplementing the diet of herbivores and insect eaters with extra vitamins and minerals. Tortoises and terrapins are particularly at risk, but many species are susceptible to the problem.

Different types of supplements are available for different types of reptile.
