Build your discovery journal and track your progress toward completing the full collection.


BUILD YOUR TERRARIUM

Care for your reptiles in fully interactive 3D terrariums. Choose from 5 terrarium types -- Desert, Tropical, Aquatic, Temperate, and Arctic. Place decorations, monitor temperature and humidity, and keep your reptiles happy and healthy.

Feed, pet, and play with your collection. Watch them grow from babies to adults through realistic growth stages. Manage shedding cycles, brumation, and even treat illnesses.


PLAY WITH FRIENDS

Team up in 2-4 player cooperative rooms. Explore biomes together, help each other catch rare species, and share your discoveries. One player flushes, another catches -- teamwork makes the dream work.

Kid-safe communication with curated pre-set phrases only. No free-text chat, ever.


LEARN REAL SCIENCE

Every interaction teaches real biology, conservation, and ecology. Learn why chameleons actually change color (hint: it's not camouflage). Discover how axolotls regenerate their limbs. Understand why conservation matters and what kids can do to help.
