So I picked up this pretty male Western Hognose at Repticon the weekend before last (I believe I posted about it). He still hasn't taken any food.

But I wonder if ( Read more... )

I was picking up food for my snakes, and I stopped to look at the Crested Geckos the store had. I fell in love. I am seriously debating on getting a one. But I had some general questions. I had asked the employee at the store and she said that they eat crickets, dusted with calcium and a "nectar", everyday, or something like that. I know some of ( Read more... )

Trees got torn apart and/or uprooted (a huge branch of our maple tree only narrowly missed crashing down on our house), and hundreds ( Read more... )

Gecko Terrified/Not Eating - HELP PLEASE!!!

I just got a baby/juvenile house gecko from a pet store to help keep the gnats down in my snail tank. I've heard of others who successfully kept small geckos for the same purposes, and did my research beforehand to make sure this species would be compatible with the conditions my snails require - i.e. warm, humid, and nocturnal, so doesn't ( Read more... )

Heaters

Alright, guys, I got a question for you all. Or rather, an opinion poll. I have been told a few different things...

I just purchased my second snake, a Kenyan Sand Boa. I was told by the particular reptile store that they don't need overhead lighting (no heat lamp, no uvb) and that an undertank heater is just fine. (For this particular species of ( Read more... )
