SAN DIEGO, Sept. 11, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- "T-Rex" is not just another dinosaur name; it's a comprehensive Internet resource for reptile and amphibian owners featuring expert insight and innovative products. As the community of reptile and amphibian enthusiasts grows, T-Rex's mission to research, develop, and provide enriching solutions to enhance the captive care of reptiles and amphibians expands to new facets; their new website and T-Rex's most recent product line, Vivarium Foam Systems and Aquarium Foam Systems are making waves in the world of reptiles.
Not only does T-Rex take a keen interest in keeping reptiles and amphibians as pets, but they also see a huge opportunity to enrich the quality of life for these animals when in captivity.
Reptiles are his passion, and Alan Botterman, President of T-Rex, genuinely manifests that his goal, and mission for T-Rex is to "research, develop and provide husbandry, welfare and enrichment solutions to enhance the captive care of reptiles and amphibians." This is precisely the idea that drives their new Vivarium & Aquarium Foam Systems in addition to their new informative website.
Vivarium Foam Systems and Aquarium Foam Systems which were launched August 18th and 19th at the annual Reptile Breeders Expo, are designed with the well-being of the animals in mind; the terrarium backgrounds and environmental enrichment products replicate the real life habitats of amphibians, arachnids, lizards and fish, making them feel more at home in a human's home.
The avant-guard line of T-Rex products play host to a number of caverns, ridges, beaches, hollows and rapids to comfortably suit the discriminating reptile and perceptive amphibian.
The interactive features of T-Rex's new website allow you to connect with reptile experts and see them in action in the jungles of Costa Rica and South Africa while handling highly venomous species such as the spitting cobra of Tanzania and the infamously dangerous black mamba. Being in the industry for about a decade has allowed T-Rex to establish solid relationships with the world's leading herpetologists. Seeing these expert herpetologists seek out new or rare forms of species from remote jungles is a unique aspect the website permits its audience to become a part of.
Designed and built by Cuker Design, the T-Rex website is inspired by imagery from a reptile's adventure land. Cuker Design's Creative Director/ President, Aaron Cuker, noticed that, "A lot of companies within the reptile industry aren't providing their customers with accessible features and visually stimulating and interactive components."
From exotic frogs perched on oversized banana leaves at the top of the homepage to pensive horned lizards as the main focal point, the T-Rex website balances a huge stock of reptile and amphibian habitat products while showing off an edgy and stimulating atmosphere.
During the process of creating the website, Aaron Cuker noticed that, "the interactive video really pulls viewers in when they can see these reptile experts in action. It gives the website a sense of authenticity that T-Rex's competitors lack."
The website displays an array of well-rounded features. T-Rex gives their customers options for a "customized terrarium," choose from snake food such as "Polar Mice" in three sizes, "Hermit Homes," for your crab's housing and there's even a line of "Superfoods" for your amphibian's supplementary diet needs.
T-Rex is the leading online resource for reptile and pet owners who are looking to become more informed by learning from the experts. The website offers wide-ranging advice and informative articles concerning the welfare of practically every type of reptile and amphibian. Amphibian and reptile owners across the nation have trusted T-Rex with all their pet care concerns since 1994. Always looking for new and innovative ways to revolutionize the reptile industry, education and inspiration are what still motivates T-Rex today.
