Hello everyone, I am thinking of getting a new pet (reptile or insect of sorts) but can't decide on one. Any ideas? Also, due to living circumstances, I would only be able to interact with the pet one week out of two (which a couple days during the off-week to feed and pass by). thanks...

I'm still trying to find an effective way to create a tropical environment for my Petiolaris complex and other assorted hot and humid types. I'm tossing it around in my mind to redo my fishtank setup, either with that tank or something else more shallow. I'd like to put a bottom layer of clean...

Just wondering if anyone has any tales of mis-adventure, fun, weird happenings, etc while voting today or in the past? I voted today at 10:15 this morning, I brought a copy of "Dubliners" by James Joyce to read while waiting but no line! Last time I voted at 7 am and waited hours in line with...

Yesterday my Mom sent me these pictures of a turtle she found next to my house. I'm spending the summer in Tennessee with my Dad, so unfortunately, I couldn't see or photograph him for myself. My Mom decided to name him Harry. I think it suits him well. I did a little research and I'm...

Im looking for some ideas on what nepenthes to get next? The growing spot I have planned for this unknown nepenthes is in my reptile room. Its heated to 80-83 year round and has pretty good light but I plan on putting in a 4 foot fluorescent light for this plant. I would like to grow a bical or...

Wanted to hear if anyone else had odd occurences with their pet reptiles. I've got two examples. I used to keep several snakes including one red tailed boa, one blood python, and a couple of corn snakes. The blood python was the meanest pet I've ever had but was not the smartest. My...

Welp, I'm going tomorrow for 8 days. I going to leave about a little more than an inch of water in my 10-gallon tank (I think it might be a little bigger, it has like two extra inches into it) for humidity. My tank as two reptile lamps compact fluorescent bulbs (compact are the spirally small...

Hi, I'm guessing northern water snake (Nerodia sipedon). Am I correct reptile enthusiast? Photo was taken at Eno River, NC. Thanks,

I know these are cheap, but before I go buy one I thought somebody here might have one laying around not being used. I want to pump and filter the water from a pool in my new reptile home into a waterfall that drains back into the pool. Here's a pic of where it'll go. I think one similar to...

I am practically finished with the new home I built for a few of my reptiles. It's over 6 feet tall, 2 1/2 feet sq. I have a number of reptiles living in it, golden gecko, water dragon, toads, eastern glass lizard and an anole that decided it liked this better than living in the wild...

The state Aquarium was having a reptile demonstration and of course I had to go. When you walk in the door one of the first things you see is a huge VFT. And this creature is guarding the vft. I guess I got a little to close to the vft. We had a stare down . We were both determined...

I know its not a reptile or aquarium animal but thought it was colorful and someone out there is probably a butterfly fan. It's a palamedes swallowtail (Papilio palamedes). Photo was taken on a site in Cumberland County, NC. I was being torn up by fire ants at the time as they were climbing...

Hello all! Happy Holidays! I am in the process of constructing a highland terrarium and would like some advice. The terrarium is ~ 122cm long x 61cm deep x 56cm high and I need to address the issue of humidity. In the event that my method of cooling (2 fans circulating air through a closed...

I have been bugging my fiance (who doesn't like snakes) to let me have a snake for the last 2 years or so, I finally got one. Funny as heck too, because we went to one of the local pet stores looking for a T5 lighting setup for my reef tank, and she wanted to see the snakes. We went over by the...

Hey folks, I've been cruising the web for reptile info since finding the anole and if I get the large epiphyte wall unit setup I thought it would be great to get a pair of Uroplatus phantasticus or "Satanic Leaf Tailed Geckos": Not my photo obviously but it's cool lookin lizard with an evil...

I had to work Saturday. Me and my boss was riding in a golf cart when we came up on another foreman that had stopped his truck in the road and was looking in the back of the truck. We stopped and walked up to him and I looked in the bucket. I saw a snake with it's head completely flattened...

Hey guys, I bought these last weekend at the National Reptile Breeders' Expo in Daytona. They weren't labeled, and the owner of the booth was in no mood to be helpful. All plants had multiples for sale (no oddballs). I'm sure they're all quite ordinary, but I am totally new to this. I've...

Hello, All! My name is Amanda, and I live in Florida. I'll tell you now that I have brown thumbs. :-( I don't keep plants; I keep tarantulas. That's what has brought me here. I'm setting up a vivarium for an arboreal Venezuelan species, and I would MUCH rather use real plants than fake...
