RT01 — Creating a Smarter Home for Reptiles
We are a team of passionate reptile lovers, tech geeks, and husbandry experts on a mission to redefine the future of reptile habitats through innovation. From frustrating manual adjustments to fully automated intelligent management, our goal is to create the perfect environment that closely mirrors each reptile’s natural habitat—eliminating the guesswork and stress for keepers, so they can focus on what truly matters: love and care.
Why We Founded RT01
The idea behind RT01 was born out of personal loss. One of our founding members lost a beloved lizard due to uncontrolled humidity caused by unreliable traditional equipment. That moment made us realize how critical environmental precision is for the health and quality of life of reptiles—and how poorly current tools address that need. We’ve been through it all: tangled wires, incompatible devices, and untraceable fluctuations. The market lacked a truly integrated solution. Beginners often felt overwhelmed, while even seasoned keepers spent too much time troubleshooting. So, we set out to change that—with smart technology designed to truly understand reptiles.
Our Vision
Our vision is to become the global leader in reptile care technology. RT01 is just the beginning. We're building a full ecosystem of smart, efficient solutions—from core habitat control to health monitoring and nutrition management.
At the same time, we’re committed to education and awareness, helping people better understand and protect reptiles. We want every reptile to thrive in an ideal environment—and every keeper to enjoy an easier, more professional care experience.
