I am getting a corn snake. I am planning on getting him a 20 gallon long tank to live in his whole life. Do i need an undertank heater as well as lights? I would prefer to see my snake so could i get a basking bulb and fixture on one side and a black, red, or blue, "night" light for the other side and he would be okay?

hey guys,well im having some parakeet issues right now. i have a 5 month old male parakeet who used to be a very tame and sweet bird and is now starting to bite me which he has never done before so why the sudden change in behavior? also how can i train him not to bite? ive read that you can say no in a loud firm voice and cover their cages up with something to train them not to bite and ive done this the past 3 days and he's still biting how can i get him to stop?also he's been doing the weirdest thing where he stands in one spot and then leans over and then starts to flap his wings real fast like he's trying to fly but he does that all the time now and then he will start screeching real loud why is he doing that?

our dog had puppies 7 1/2 weeks ago. The puppy that we kept will not stop trying to nurse. The mom, Lady, i feel is just such a sweet dog that she does not try to stop them, but you can tell that she is getting annoyed. the puppy eats dry dog food as well, but whenever he is around lady he tries to nurse. is there anything that i can do to make him not want to nurse...other than having them apart from eachother all of the time.

i would really appreciate any advice.

Whenever people say they feed beneful everyones like NO I FEED INNOVA OR CANIDAE. are you trying to brag about how you spent so much money on it. For peed sake from what i've seen,beneful is a great food. It has veggies like carrots,peas,and yummy sweet corn. and it has real meat,and also it has soy which i heard has lots of protein
.dogs love it, Whats wrong with that?NOTHING are you guys just full of yourselves. are you trying to make yourselves feel good?

About a year ago we bought a 10 gallon tank, and it seemed it would be fun if we got some Platies and Mollys, in total we had:

2 Orange Mollies
3 White Platies
3 Orange Platies
4 Neon Tetras
1 Algae Eater
(and some lefter over feeder guppies from a science fair project.)

The problem is, the mollies and the platies have cross bred to creat one REALLY hardy fish. Or should i say "some" really hardy fish. A bit of a short estimate would be around 60-70 fish, and we have given away 56 of them to friends, but the more we give away, the more that keep coming. They are all about 1-3 inches. And we just don't know what to do with them, we have asked pet stores and relatives a like, but none will take our fish. The pet store has told us to bag them and throw them in the garbage, but we just can't bring ourselves to it. I want to get rid of them "naturally", and i need your help. Please help our overpopulated civilization that is our tank. Any ideas would be apreciated.

Ok, so recently today, my female fiddler crab has been acting weird. Her eyes are sunken in, her front legs are locked, she's been on her back quite a bit, and doesn't seem to like the water too much anymore. So, is she about ready to die? Or what?

Dear God:
I know that I'm a sinner. I deserve Hell. But You sent Jesus to die for my sins. I believe that He died and rose again. I ask you now to forgive my sins, once an for all. I now receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Personal Saviour. Please come into my heart and save me, Help me to know I am saved and live for You, the rest of my life. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.

i just started to do a water change,and i was vacuuming the gravel and i noticed like 20 worm like things about 1/2 an inch long and the thickness of hair swimming around in the aquarium. i freaked out and stopped cleaning the aquarium. what could they be? they were wiggling around and swimming. could they be parasites? i havent added any fish or plants or anything in a few months. the only thing ive added is food flakes. i have a few different kinds of tetras in there, and a two inch long orange fish (not a gold fish) that i cant remember the name of. please help!

also what could i do to get rid of them?

About a week ago he was laying next to me and all of a sudden he jumps up and starts falling down and hitting himself on the walls, he kept raising his arms and his legs as if he couldn't control his body. His head would also sorta fall back, and he would twist around on the floor. He was also shivering like he was scared. I didn't know what was going on so i just pet him and gave him massages. I thought it was that he got cramps or something, but today it happened again in the car. Im taking him to the vet tomarrow to get him checked out but i was just wondering what it is.

I have unsuccessfully tried to breed mice for food for my snake- Everytime, the male eats the babies or the mother dies during birth, so I give up.

Anyone know of a place to buy frozen mice with CHEAP shipping? Everywhere I look, it is over $30 for shipping costs alone. With the amount I want for 1 snake, (50-100 adult mice, 50 chicks or so) it the same price as buying individually from a store, which is not the point of online shopping, lol.

Know of any site (I know the main ones, so it would have to be a less advertised one) that has the cheaper shipping or rates for winter shipping (so it is colder).
thanks in advance!

My beta fish's bowl gets disgusting very quickly. The water evaporates very rapidly as well because New Mexico is so dry. Is it safe to cover the bowl with something to prevent these things? Will my fish get enough oxygen?

My beagle is very vocal--from welcoming us home to just asking for a hug she has a noise for everything. We think it's cute (as long as she doesn't start howling) but I was just wondering, none of the other dogs I've seen are like this, is it a beagle thing or does it vary from dog to dog?

Hey guys,Im new here & just wondering if you could help me please......

The other day my Aussie wd was jumping of his vine & caught his arm on it while jumping. He couldnt walk & kept limping on it,he couldnt even get into his water to go to the toilet. I took him to the vet yesterday & he stayed over night & had an xray done on him. I picked him up today & saw on the xray that his bones are really small & weak for his age (He's 10 months old) I have to bring him back in 3 weeks for another xray to see if his bones improve.

I am just wondering what is the best way to get calcium into him? I just lost a chinise wd 3weeks ago to mbd, they were both using the same type of calcium, I have changed the calcium that I dust his food with incase it was that,Im getting a new uv light tomorow the one he has now is 5months old so he's due a new one. Any suggestions on getting more calcuim to strenthen his bones?
