    what would be a good path for a soon to be high schooler...

    One of the most meticulous, careful venomous keepers I know just turned 17 this year, and has been keeping hots since he was 13. He doesn't allow anyone into his snake room except him because he's so paranoid of people messing with or getting too comfortable around his crotes. One of the most...

    Multispecies (Ecosystem) Vivarium Ideas

    Hey guys, I have some experience with reptiles, inverts, and plants, but no experience with fish. I want to make a vivarium that is a self-contained ecosystem, maybe not necessarily with things from the same part of the world but obviously things with the same humidity and temperature...

    How to feed a baby?

    I have moved it into a smaller container but I still haven't seen poop. This would be the second week that I know of this baby has gone without food. I'm nearly to the point of wanting to just go to the store and try to tempt it with some peach baby food, and then worry about converting it back...

    How to feed a baby?

    I have no idea how many grams it weighs, I have been trying to resist the urge to pester it more than to dot CGD on it's nose nightly. It is pretty much a newborn, maybe two weeks old.

    How to feed a baby?

    I recently got a free baby crestie from a local. I bought Repashy CGD and set up a nice little tank for it, but I've yet to see it eat from it's dish. Once a day (I know, I know, I shouldn't be bothering it this much, but I'm worried and I always do a bit of a 'helicopter mom' thing with new...

    Feeder Bugs Menagerie

    The mealworms, while being fed water crystals as well, do not appear to be in with the roaches. I can see why you'd think that though :D In the first pic is a freshly molted roach.

    Refusing to see a vet

    What is it with some people and their aversion to taking their sick animals to a vet? There's a very obviously young girl on another forum I frequent who asked for help with her sick leopard gecko. This thing was skin and bone, had stuck shed in it's eyes, and looked like it hadn't seen water in...

    My hotties

    No offense but I really, really doubt you've seen an 8ft atrox. 6ft, maybe. But not an 8ft.

    full moon posts

    You're both right and I knew I'd receive responses like this, but the specific post which set off my rant was a question asked by someone which was very specific and required a specific answer from someone familiar with breeding geckos. It wasn't a husbandry question or a question of morph, it...

    full moon posts

    Sorry to necro this but it feels relevant again... IF SOMEONE IS POSTING A THREAD ASKING FOR HELP WITH THEIR GECKO AND YOU DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER, DON'T FREAKING POST, IT'S THAT SIMPLE. I'm sick of seeing posts (by one user in particular) telling people to "do more research" or "read Leopard...
