About Zilla

Zilla makes habitats, heating and lighting for reptiles and amphibians, a small but resilient category that mass-market pet food companies do not serve. It is part of Central Garden & Pet. Reptile keeping requires controlled heat and ultraviolet light, so the equipment is a larger share of spending than the food.
