Hi, I have recently inherited a tortoise - which is now in the phases of hybernating for the winter. I got him over the summer and have created a pen for him in my garden which is approximately 2.5m by 1m. I have shelter for him, which is an unpside down cat box, but was unsure if he should have more 'natural' shelter (i.e. plants, shrubs) and should I include a watering hole (miniture pond) for him to drink out of. It's just the pen looks incrediblly boring and I know if I was going to live for 50+ years, I would want my home to be a palace!

Thanks for your help!

I know they eat live insects but i can't have a bunch of bugs running around. will he eat dead bugs? I tried to leave out some bread crumbs but i guess he doesn't eat that either. Also i live on a small island where there are no pet stores where I can buy dead bugs or anything. Please help me keep my wayward gecko alive.

how do you capture a lizard/geico that is in your house to release it back outside. and how do you get them to come out of hiding from behind something? and are they harmful?

Harold is a red eared slider and is about 5-6 years old. He has been our class pet for over 4 years. He is very friendly and likes to be hand fed. Harold spent this summer in a friend's man made pond in her yard. The pond had 4 other turtles and ate feeder fish and pellets for the summer. When Harold came back to school the pond had already gotten kind of cold, and that was in mid September. He was very dark almost black in color when we took him out. Since taking him out of the pond he seems tired, has a lack of appetite (he won't even eat feeder fish), and I have seen some kind of foam coming from his nose and mouth. I have taken one of the smaller turtles into my tank to see if his behavior is due to loneliness and missing the pond, which didn't work. Harold seems to be getting worse, he is lost A LOT of weight and doesn't like going into the water, (he stays on the rocks.) His eyes are sinking in and he won't walk when we put him on the floor. Any clue what is wrong? What to do?

I have a new pet California King Snake. I have noticed that he has shed once already since I bought him 2 months ago and he is looking like he is going to shed again...Is this normal? Seems like he should shed less.

Our iguana is a healthy green color and normaly eats pretty well. We have been giving him alot of calcium, he gets it on his food, we bought calcium gravel for his cage and he gets a calcium spray once daily. We also have a heating pad under the aquarium to keep him warm, change his water every other day and bought a special UV light. The brown discoloration of his back legs and tail has changed to a healthy green and he uses his back legs much better but somethin is just not right with him. He seems I don't know like off balance or lethargic or something. Is that normal as he grows or could there be something in our city water that is bad for him? Maybe I should start buying bottled water and see if that helps. Any advice????

My turtle has swollen eyes, loose skin, and sometimes a wet nose, but he has still been eating and running around like usual. Is he sick? can I help him without finding a vet?
PS: I know I have a lot of questions but I want my turtles to live for a long time.
