    Colubrid Substrate (Poll)

    May I please see a pic of your everglades rat snake? We have what we think is an everglades rat snake, but from what I've heard they are rare. I think it was in the latest issue of Reptiles Magazine that they said there are a few key things to look for to tell if you actually have one. If I...

    climbing

    My tegu's cage is about 6 or 7 inches from the ground. When she comes out to free roam she climbs out by herself to the floor and she can climb back in by herself. When I get the chance I help her in and out. My concern is that I know tegu's don't like to climb and was wondering if I should...

    Brentwood mom finds snake sleeping in crib with baby

    Yeah it was fun. The only thing was that it was very hot in there. I also saw a monitor of some sort in the same plastic tub as a B+W Argentine Tegu... the Tegu didn't look very happy and the monitor was trying to get out the whole time. They had a lot of columbian tegus there. The only...

    What is your tegus favorite food?

    I got a huge beef heart yesterday. Those things are huge! I've never gotten one before. Are there certain parts that are better than others?

    Drylock

    We're building our cage for the tegu tomorrow. I was researching Drylock and their website says its for masonry waterproofing. I'm building the enclosure out of untreated plywood and it's got to be waterproofed. Has anyone ever used this product personally?

    Baking Soda

    My mouse cages smell really bad. Do you just sprinkle baking soda in with their substrate? I also heard that vanilla extract mixed with their drinking water helps with the smell too. If so, how much vanilla extract should you use?

    Thats interesting. I didn't know about the vanilla extract trick. I'll have to get some and try that. Thanks for the information.

    My first litter...ever!

    We pretty much just made sure one was a male, put him with the females, food and water. 3 weeks later...PINKIES! We didn't really do much at all besides clean the cage every few days.

    Loreal scales?

    I've been having trouble figuring out exactly what the "loreal scales" are on tegus... I know mine is a argentine black and white. Can someone please specify where they are?

    My first litter...ever!

    My mice just gave birth 3 days ago... I got them about 5 weeks ago. I have 3 females with one male. Here are the babies! ...Too bad they're all pretty much feeders.
