Orange Grove Animal Hospital is fortunate to have James Jarchow, D.V.M. providing veterinary care for reptiles and amphibians.  Internationally recognized in the field of reptile and wildlife medicine, Dr. Jarchow is also the veterinarian for reptiles and amphibians at the world-renowned Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum as well as Reid Park Zoo.  His extensive work with researchers and his dedication to the welfare of our native Sonoran species has made him an invaluable source for those seeking veterinary services or general husbandry information for reptiles and amphibians of all kinds.  

Like all exotic pets, each species of reptile and amphibian requires very specific nutritional and husbandry needs in order to maintain health.  If you are seeking information on how to properly care for one of these pets, or if your pet requires medical attention, please call and set up an appointment.  Selected care and diet sheets can be found below or accessed via the FAQ page.

In addition to well-pet annual exams, pre and post hibernation exams, diet and husbandry consultation, we offer emergency medical services for all reptile species and boarding services for most reptile species. Please call our office for more information.

New care sheets will be coming soon. If you have any questions regarding any information found on our care sheets please call the hospital during regular business hours.
