Some signs of a healthy reptile include clear eyes, smooth skin or scales, alertness, responsive behavior, regular shedding of skin, and a healthy appetite. It's also important to monitor their activity levels and ensure they have access to proper lighting, humidity, and temperature levels in their enclosure. Regular veterinary check-ups are also recommended to ensure your reptile's overall health and well-being.
