What precautions should be taken to ensure reptiles are safe in their habitats?

For reptile safety, ensure the habitat has secure, escape-proof lids. Heat lamps should be set up with guards to prevent burns, and habitat accessories should be stable. Maintain proper temperature gradients using thermometers to allow reptiles to thermoregulate. Offer spaces for hiding and cater to their specific environmental needs, such as humidity or UV lighting, for optimum health.
