Ok, so our paperwork comes in tomorrow...so here's our website!

We're taking in two new rescues tomorrow: a nile and a savannah monitor that a 17 year old was hiding from his mom in boxes under...

Oh Crickets! I am on my FIFTH attempt right now... so i'm certainly no super-hero-cricket-raiser... In my experience it's all about the M/F ratio. I typically go to PetSmart (who I have a good...

Awww poor guys. Thanks for the pic though.

I love well-done tank-builds. I'm so jealous. So jealous. I currently have an empty 125 gallon tank that i'm still trying to figure out what to do with. GREAT INSPIRATION HERE.

So I haven't posted on this forum in a long time. :culpability: Not since I rescued Butterscotch the Cuvier's Dwarf Caiman. Unfortunately or perhaps fortunately that event has spun everything else...

I have four rescue red-eared sliders! They're a lot of work and get BIG fast (as large as a dinner plate within two years if properly taken care of). Here is my advice:

1. Make sure that he has...

For those of you who have asked... here the link to a video of LB eating a mouse. I guess if you have feelings about mice being eaten then you shouldn't watch it. Here's my short rant about it:
1....

Hopefully my masterful design (*wink*) will prevent the necessity of catching her in the winter. Temps where I live in North Carolina rarely drop below freezing so my plan thus far is a system of...

So far I have not had an issue with the plants at all. I do leave live mice in the tank for her and they actually do more damage. She is still getting uused to her enclosure but I am always prepared...

So I set up my tank about two weeks ago, got it all planted about a week ago, set up my Monsoon misting at the same time and I was *planning* on ordering my first darts tomorrow but tonight when I...

Thanks for the kind support of my rebellious measurements. LOL.

The feeding went OK. She didn't eat until well into the evening when her lights turned off. They are nocturnal so I guess if she's...

I don't understand why everything isn't in metric anyway. It's so much easier. I was raised in New York but my mom is from Germany and my dad is a biology professor at Cambridge (although he too is...

I keep both the water and ambient air at right around 31-33 degrees Celsius with the basking spot no higher than 40. Humidity sits at nearly the same- about 80-90%. The tank is 2 meters long, half a...

Morning update! I decided to give you guys an update while i'm thawing some raw steak for LB. The tank seemed to have held it's humidity really well over the night and temperatures dropped but just...

I think I fixed the problem, Thanks!

As some of you know I rescued a 13" Culvier's Dwarf Caiman (L.B. or Little B*tch) about three days ago from a man who had her in pretty bad conditions (living in a tupperware, improper lighting,...

I did a search for this topic first but the answers seem to be all over the place. I have read some people saying up to 6 and some saying no more than one. Josh's Frogs says you typically want 5...

Very jealous. Used to live in NY and one of the major pitfalls of the south is the lack of museums- wish I could go!

OMG they're gorgeous! I was never that into fish, (except as feeders lol) but those are SOoooooo pretty! I particularly like the orange one with the magenta eyes! (forgive my lack of knowledge!)

Thanks Brian! My roommate and I have started joking about charging admission into our home since it's more exhibit than house and that actually turned into a discusion of starting a reptile rescue......

This is awesome! I agree with Kristen! Lovin' the ledge!

Yeah, I have scrambled like hell for research lately. I'm going to keep her in the 125 gallon tank for now and work on renovating the basement. My plans include a 12' by 10' enclosure with plexiglas...

It has been a crazy month here for me. A few weeks ago I found a ferret, in a cage, with adoption papers, thrown out in the dumpster. She was purchased and held less than 24 hours before the adopter...

Thanks so much Grahm! I'm using Terra-lite so i'll probably start with it under the tank and see how it goes!

I am expecting to get my first group of D. auratus next week so I got my tank set up, planted, etc... this week and although I have no problem keeping the humidity around 80-90% my temps hover right...
