    My Beardy tattoo

    Hi guys! It has been a super long time since I have posted here. I thought you all might like to see my work in progress beardy tattoo. I drew out the design myself and provided photos of my babies to the artist (Amy from Sacred Rose Tattoo, Berkeley CA: http://www.sacredrosetattoo.com) for...

    my home owners association tried to ban reptiles.

    So far it is still up in the air. One of the super nosy board members tried to sneak it in without a vote by other members. Apparently she had recently turned down the application of someone who wanted to rent from her but had a snake. She was scared it might eat a neighbor's dog or something...

    my home owners association tried to ban reptiles.

    A few months ago, our HOA tried to ban all herps in our 14 unit townhome complex. Since I am the proud owner of close to a dozen different reptiles, I had something to say about that! Here was my polite response to their proposal. What do you guys think? * I did flub on the amount of animals...

    Starter Turtle?

    it is a common misconception that box turtles are a good starter because they stay small, however they have very specific requirements that can often be difficult to replicate. They need high humidity, uvb, a varied diet of protein, fruit and vegetable matter and a large enclosure (at least 55...

    Best Starter Snake.

    most kingsnakes will eat frozen/thawed mice without any issue (and without any brain cutting). I have perfected the "zombie mouse dance" since I've had my king.

    Best Starter Snake.

    I love my Cali King too, but she is the opposite of friendly. She has tried to eat my face on three separate occasions. Reptile Magazine has a great article for people who are interested in getting a first time snake. It essentially says, "don't be such a baby, getting bit by a snake really...

    40 gallon breeder tank and Megaray MVB lighting setup

    I have a 40 gal breeder with a MVB my bulb rests directly on top of the screen lid and provides perfect heating and lighting through the screen for my beardy. I haven't needed any other type of heat source. I have provided a branch for Mal so if she wants to get closer to the heat and light, she...

    36"L x 18"W x 15"H tank?

    As long as you can keep constant temperatures and the uvb bulb is at the proper height, I don't think it will make too much difference.

    What retpiles/ herps can be in a 20l and 29g aquariums?

    Leos can be very friendly and easy to hold pets. My 13 year old sister takes care of our three girls and they are doing really well. They don't require UVB and you can feed them either crickets or mealworms. they require an under the tank heater at all times because they need belly heat to...

    Turbo takes a walk

    She has gotten over a lot of her fear of dogs and people. When I first got her she would completely withdraw into her shell when I passed by her tank and when I took her out, but she seems to have gotten used to the other animals and me. My dog hasn't show much interest in her, but when she...

    Turbo takes a walk

    I usually let Turbo out every day or so. She tools around our kitchen when I am home and making dinner. She also spends time out on my patio during nice weather. The cats and the dog are curious, but they don't bother her at all. That being said, I never leave her unattended outside of her tank...

    that's probably the best plan. Keep wild animals wild.

    Baby Turtle

    I can't be for certain unless I see a picture, but I'm going to guess that your baby is a common map turtle (based on the yellow streaks). These are really cute and friendly turtles and stay a manageable size as an adult. I've got a couple of red eared sliders that are getting close to being...

    Need Legal Advice for my beardies!

    I would also take them to the vet as soon as possible to be looked at. I know you've had them a couple of weeks now, but it is likely that a vet would still be able to detect and record signs of malnurishment and possible MBD. You could also use that in court to show that you have invest quite a...
