:!: :shock: dont take that quite so literally, remember that weight in water is displace over the entire surface area of the 4 sides and the bottom of the tank. so there is actually less pressure on any given point on the tank. not like with rock where the pressure is concentrated on to one or...

when the leo gecko is young you will have to feed it every day, but once it get sub-adult to adult it can go the weekend without eating and be fine. adult leo geckos will only need to eat about 4-5 times a week. also, in the books i have read, and in my experience leo geckos [because they are...

i would suggest a leopard gecko, they can have quite the little personalities too. plus theyre low maintenance. also you could try kenyan sand boas, or rosy boas, they dont get too big. as you already have a corn snake i dont think you want another one. you could have a try at some anoles, but...

I think in the state of California, you cannot buy, sell or "own" rattlesnakes. but im not sure because people keep them to use for rattle snake training [training for dogs] and there was a table full of them at the reptile show in june, but those were not for sale, only to educate. looks like i...

The petsmart i work at has a nice dark morph bd right now. i dont know if it will stay like that, but he a darker grey than our other that i have seen. i sure hope he stays that color, its a good lookin little pooper! :laughing6:

Beardieaddict, although the SD reptile show wont be back untill june. there ARE 2 upcoming shows kinda nearby[ish] (only a short 1-1 1/2 hour drive :mrgreen:) : Nov. 7/8, 2009 - PASADENA - http://www.herpworldexpo.com Pasadena Convention Center, Exhibit Hall B, 300 E. Green St., Pasadena...

i picked mojo out of a huge tub with probably 75+ hatchlings in it. there was some kinda of magnetic trait that had drawn me to mojo. so i agree that every beardie looks different. however, when they are still very young its MUCH harder to identify physical characteristics, and even if you do...

i was also thinking honeydew! or like a natural cucumber melon scent. as i was reading this thread I started thinking about all my smells and which one i use most, and i think peach is a comfy smell. and i also like pear. it sweet and mild too!

i changed out the basking light, and brought the temps up. that seems to help A LOT. i fed him some mustard greens and phoenix worms. now i haven't fed him crickets for about 3 days. and his stools have gotten much better. when i get a chance i will switch out the repti glo. i think hes going...

leopard gecko = rep = 10g, 20l either 1.High or Low matenance? low IMO. just crickets. mid 80s temp. 2.Good for School kids? Such as middle school? yes, get about 6-7 in. mellow, slow when theyre bigger. 3.Active during day? ah, no, theyre typically nocturnal. Milk snake = herp = 20l 1.High or...

actually while i was answering all these questions i decided to go get a new basking lamp, to see if i can bring that temp up. and i will see is that makes an improvement. might that be the reason for the loose stools though?

at first i thought it was just getting ready for shed but its been a few days and he hasnt shed in a long time. i got really nervous when he sat in he water dish for about 40 minutes not really moving (and he hates water!). i fed him some phoenix worms the other day and he ate them the first day...

yep. but its not likely to be cheap. :(

i was talking with a friend about making my own rock, and he brought up a few suggestions, like using modeling clay, the kind that you bake and it hardens? and also trying the expando-foam in a can to make the whole rock and then carving it to preference, he think it is easier to cut and shape...

that's the thing hes got everything i can think of right. we dont use calci-sand (thats like a curse word around here haha), newspaper, hes got UVA UVB, and a basking light, he eats dusted crckets and finely chopped greens. however i am working on a bigger viv, since he is growing fast. atm he...
