Thanks everyone. I didn't mean for the post to be so long but I have a bad habit of wordiness. There really is a magic about animals, and reptiles catch you off guard because no one really expected of them what we expect of cats and dogs. But every animal has that awesome potential. God love 'em

I know this is insanely long, but I'd love to hear your revelations too...make me feel less like I'm dancing naked pouring out all my sappy corny thoughts... Its hard to really say when the focus of my passion changed, but I'll just go ahead and blame it on my parents. I came home from school...

Thank you for your replies. We will be making the drive in my PT Cruiser. Yeah. Wasn't planning on moving cross country when I got it. But it'll have to do. My buddy has apparently already picked out our route, she's made the move before vice versa. But after a lot of talking we've estimated the...

I've managed to become the 'mama' of a beardie and two leos, and add my 'familiar' feline counterpart. My best friend, with whom I will be moving, has a chinchilla. The move isn't set on a date, but it will be at least next fall if not later. All my kids are in perfect health (if a lil on the...

Alright! I got some good flat rocks for the bottom, but I'm not sure about being able to oven bake this one rock, looks to be roundish the size of maybe a cantelope. I'm not sure about being able to put it in the oven. BUT. Can I get away with just scrubbing it with cleaner or bleach? the...

he is so adorable!!! And I understand, it took me a long time to settle on a name for my beardie. It all depends. All my animals, except my cat, have names inspired by the ALIEN movies. You can just think of a movie or a book you love and pick a name!

Oh thank you! I didn't know about the monarch butterflies! As for fireflies, I dont think I've seen any for a while. We used to have a lot but their population is almost totally gone. So I'll keep an eye out for that. And I talked to my mom, she has a LOT of art stuff so she'll have the...

Alright! So that's chicken wire for the top and maybe all around depending. Maybe mesh screening too just in case. Modgepodge to seal the metal, again just in case. My dog bent some of the bars and I can see where the metal is rusting so that was a main concern for me. I checked a couple other...

I'm paranoid about that also, I even considered wrapping the whole darn thing in mesh to keep buggies out, but I dont want to keep out too much sun. And as for temp she won't be out there 24/7 or when its too hot even for me, and I dont do hot. I was planning on keeping it maybe on the front...

I don't have the measurements for the crate but I want to make sure its safe for my beardie before I try to 'refurbish' the dog crate. Its the usual kind of metal with the removable little bottom tray. It does have black paint on it, and my dog didn't like being in the crate so she kinda chewed...

I have a rather amazing opportunity coming up. Theres a good chance Im going to the Virgin Islands for school in the spring. Problem is, I may not be able to take my reptiles. If I end up in the dorm, I definately can't. But its already going to be insanely expensive. I am not selling them I am...

niiice!!! Midnight, cat. first animal i ever named XD couldnt think of anything else. its a she so i couldnt call her statan or binx DX Ripley (main character from the ALIEN movies) leopard gecko Newt (ALIENS, the nickname of the little girl that survived the colony) bearded dragon Frodo (Lord...

Ah thats an awesome name!!!

Thanks again guys! I'm writing up my paper and preparing to make a slideshow! Presentations are coming up! I really do appreciate all the information you've all given me!

I went with her today to take Nutmeg to the vet. He gave her two shots, one with just supplements, twin correct me if im wrong, and another just to re-hydrate her. and ya know what? by the time we got back to my house and she was ready to head home Nutmeg was perky!! She/he was holding...
