Wow, so many cute and unique critter ! Hippie, that blue + red betta is magnificent ! Dogs + kitties are all sweet and the tort. is a bruiser! The cactus is cool, nice to have a pet that needs no one to see about it if you go on vacation.
BTW, here's another one of my critters. CAN ANYONE GUESS what it is ?
They are fast + flighty, don't really like handling but never bite. They are more a display lizard and since they're small [ about 7" adult size ] a 40 -55 gallon tank like I have them in makes a huge home for them. I get all the rocks from outside, fake plants at a thrift store and they eat gut loaded small crickets + mealworms. Here's another pic of Rocky, he would not be happy if I didn't show his slight irridescent green.
Our latest addition is a spiny softshell turtle (no name yet). It's about 3 months old.
Long story short, some lady thought they were cute and, took them from a lake (them meaning ....there WERE 3 at one time), then she move and couldn't keep them. She gave them to her son which in turn knew nothing about them , leading to the death of the other two. I was going to take them all but when they clean the nasty tank they were in they found the other 2 dead. VERY sad!!!!
My intent is to feed a care for this one until I can release it in the spring, problem is everything I have read on these turtles says they need to be placed back in the area they came from. So it is possible I might have to keep it for a good while.
