Need A Litlle Help

vinzyangel — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 01:26:01 GMT

I recently (a couple months ago) purchased some Green Anoles. I read that they breed in the spring and summer, and I got a surprise, it is September and I have 6 eggs. I was wanting to know about any special care, or if I should get a setup and put the eggs in it? I am prepared to do anything for these little ones, and will most likely keep all of them.

My new monitor =]

I know I need to upload pics of all of my other new guys from Daytona, but I havent had the time!

Enjoy!

Any thoughts on a next reptile?

firefishbrain — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 00:36:27 GMT

hi all! New the the board and kinda new to reptiles as well. I've currently got some small projects going with cresteds that are just waiting to grow out and will probably start breeding in the spring. As you know, they are nocturnal, so I was hoping to get something that could be out during the day and act more of as a pet. The stipulation is that I am not sure what to put in this cage I got for some sps coral frags I got a week or two ago. It has 4 sides screen, the bottom and back side are glass. The guy I got it from was raising a veiled cham in there, its dimensions are 30"L x 12"D x 24" H. Now, I suppose I could also lie it on the back to make it 30Lx24Dx12H. Are there any nice recomendations on a next animal? I don't want to be doing any snakes (cuz I would have already decided on a piebald Ball), now is just not the time in my life to get into those guys.

Some recommendations that I got from friends was a Mountain Horned Lizard, Helmeted Iguana, and U. firmbriatus (How would I keep humidity up with this guy?) Are there any others that I haven't found yet? Thanks for looking and any feedback!

Edit: I was also contemplating a leachie, but again, not sure on humidity with the screen and (right now) the A/C making my apartment pretty dry atm. Also, not finding one in my price range...

Hi guys, sorry to bother you but I have a question. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a next reptile for me to get ( no snakes )? I already have 2 leos and I have taken care of them for atleast a year. I was thinking of a bts, bearded dragon or a mali uro. What do you guys think? Also I wasn't really sure of where to put these questions so if anyone can tell me that would be great. Thank you

Desperate For Help.. Pink Tongue Skink

Scaredycatash — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 20:14:41 GMT

Hi, I am new here, I joined because I see some people on here do keep PTS and I need all the help I can get, the forum I usually am on didn't help me at all :(

So I have recently purchased some PTS (3 of them) and the person I purchased them from told me after I already recieved them that he was feeding them only cat food. I hate feeding reptiles (like monitors) cat/dog food, I think its just not right we don't feed dogs/cats mealworms or crickets? Anyways my problem is that I cant get them to eat anything. I have tried earthworms and roachs, I am looking for a source for snails or slugs but can't seem to find one. If there is any advice anyone can give me to help me get these guys eating I would super apperciate it. I really want to keep these guys happy and healthy. Thank you again.

but looking like this

Soooooo...... hundreds of pounds of dirt later I'm welcomed by this wonderful sight
