    Rhino up date

    It's about nothing, stupid drama queens. I mistakenly thought James was emailing a deceased person, then I said, never mind, blonde moment. But of course all you little girls get your panties all in a wad and start with the "what does that mean?" It means nothing. God, I hate forums. First one I...

    hibernation habbits

    Severus does that too, will stay under for a day or two, then be out all day, and eat like crazy. Will be glad when we've had him thru a hibernation cycle so we know what to expect, what is normal, etc. Crazy tegu. Don't know what he's doing next!

    Varanus Salvator (water monitor) advice...

    ^ yep....and I like to mist artificial plants, keeps humidity high without soaking down the substrate too much and risking mold.

    Varanus Salvator (water monitor) advice...

    Comparing to my savannah, i've never had a water monitor, but an interesting fact is ANY CHANGE, even a new water dish in his enclosure, and he hides for two days. obviously he doesn't love anything unusual in his day. Strict routine and very limited handling have shown the best results with him.

    vanilla and Eli together

    Yep, great stuff. Use it for all of our inverts, except for one goofy Tarantula my husband had had forever....she always lived on paper towel and she FREAKED when we gave her Eco earth, literally stayed on the side of her cage until we gave her paper towel back....lol! We have...

    Rex, sav monitor

    Update: Rex will now come to me when I open his enclosure....flicks his tongue a few times, and slowly crawls into my hand. He has a larger enclosure now, but this time I kept his "stuff" in the same places, and even dug him a burrow in the same spot as his last one. This tremendously helped...

    enclouser

    I saw that pic on here of one and thought HOW COOL... spacesaving, and neat, and fun....and then my immediate next thought was, I'd hate to be sleeping up there when it decided to take a big tegu potty break.....lol! Ew. Not pleasant to wake up to.....I'm sure. All of our reptiles are in the...

    F/T versus live

    Strange, I'm not sure I can get pics of the bumps....they are tiny....this is only about an 11 inch hatchling! I will try tomorrow, have to soak him daily with soap and water anyway, just in case. The bumps themselves aren't supposed to be dangerous,, but risk of infection is. I've had BP's for...

    F/T versus live

    No problem. And while we are on the topic...discovered a little problem with my hatchling BP thus morning....tiny little bumps, like pimples almost, filed with clear fluid. Never had this problem before with any of my snakes....after research found it can come from too much humidity in the...
