Hi all, couple questions about the deep heat projector. 1) What lamp to use with it (reflector/dome or wire cage)? 2) Can DHPs sit directly atop mesh, or is it recommended to elevate it off mesh? Thank you!

Your ultimate deciding factor should not be the initial purchase price of the animal, there are so many more important factors that should influence your decision, such as your personal preference, what behaviors you want to deal with, the overall price of the care of the animal. It's all up to...

I do not have experience when it comes to working with Teiids, Varanids, or any other type of large lizard, so what I'm saying is backed by my personal knowledge of these reptiles (generally know more about Tegus than most monitors), and can certainly be refuted by a more experienced hobbyist if...

I was hoping someone could help me figure this out a bit more. Is the Blue Tegu a mutation of the Argentine Black and White (Tupinambis merianae), or an entirely different species altogether? If the latter is the case, is there an official binomial name? There seems to be conflicting ideas on...

You do realize that this thread is over 3 years old?

As someone else on here already mentioned, the fact that leopard geckos and bearded dragons are on the same list as honey bears and black panthers is absolutely ridiculous. There is so much misinformation and generalization on that article it renders me speechless.

I feel exactly as you do, Janece. I always try to be as courteous, gentle, or patents as I can, but there have been times where I feel I have been a bit harsh or impatient. I never have had any intentions of coming off as callous or rude. Courtesy is contagious :)

Love the photos of the egrets. You got great photos of the physical changes they go through during breeding season, such as the fanning aigrettes and extreme base-of-bill colors (that lime green one is amazing!) I frequently follow the activity of the "local" Great Blue Herons, Great Egrets, and...

I couldn't agree more with these three particular statements. Nothing makes me ever more frustrated or sad than when someone is asking for help about breeding geckos/obtaining a new gecko, hasn't done any research whatsoever, and then acts completely obstinate when faced with an onslaught of...

Baldy is a condition where there are zero head spots present. Trust me, I'm pretty sure Rango is a baldy, and quite a pretty one at that.

I love the goats! Wow, I never have seen a full picture of Rango, she's amazing! SHTCTB?

Beautiful work. You have talent for art, keep up the fabulous work!

UPDATE - I do apologize for never telling any of you guys what happened to this snake. Well, the summer passed (quite a long time ago), and the snake went back with its other owner. I tried f/t and live rats (what it usually eats) and it would not take any. I offered food roughly every week...

Kelli, if you're referring to me when saying that I do apologize if I upset you with my comment in that thread. I admit that I shouldn't be discussing the hardships of breeding when I have never even done so myself. My intentions were not to be critical or the OP, and I apologize if I came off...

Voted. Anybody who voted 'yes' is full of ignorance and probable fear towards snakes. Sad.
