Finding good data to determine trends in the exotic reptile pet trade is hard to do. Here’s how onesuggests that bearded dragons–a medium-sized Australian lizard known for their distinctive “beard” of spikes under their chin –are the most popular animal in the exotic pet reptile market, followed by ball pythons and leopard geckos.
Despite the size of the market, tracking the buying and selling of exotic pet reptiles is notoriously hard to do. To understand this largely hidden market, the researchers examined data from Google Trends–using Google search volumes to measure and understand the popularity of pet reptile species over time. They combined this information with survey data, in which they asked 91 reptile enthusiasts to rank the most popular reptiles in the reptile pet market–both now, in the past, and what they anticipated would happen in the future.
