How has Covid-19 affected your pets?
How has it affected the way you keep your pets? This includes access to vet care, food, supplies, cleaning equipment, or buying a new snake or lizard. Did it work out better for you now than pre-covid? If you are a breeder, did this affect your business? This may also include dogs and cats, if you notice a change in their behavior since all this started.

I actually got more reptiles since covid started. Got back into keeping a ball python, which I did briefly years ago. I had time to redo enclosures, improve my husbandry, I found this forum. I mean if anything Covid has improved my relationship with my pets. I know reptiles don't have relationships with their owners for the record, but I've gotten to spend more time with them, I handle them more, even talk to them during the day since they're all in my office and I work from home now.

It's impacted my caring for my dogs more than my reptiles. Vet visits are dog only so with 4 older dogs, I've spent a lot of time sitting in my car at the vet :).
In terms of the reptiles, I've probably spent a little more time with them, but I have also been ill part of the year (not with COVID) so that might have balanced.
The biggest change is many of my friends who used to visit frequently haven't been over. Some are going to be shocked when they see how much size some of the younger snakes have put on.
