Reptiles - October 2006

I have two types of Geckos now...House and Crested. They're in 2 different terrariums. I am looking for a house plant for the Crested Gecko, not too big though as the tank isn't that big at this time (10 gallon & the Gecko is full grown) and I will be adding height to it in a month (on top w/ one of those mesh top). And possibly a buddy for him. Online I've seen that Ficus, Pothos and philodendron are good for them.

The House Gecko has a plastic leaf vine thing in his area. I'm thinking that maybe a house plant for him might help keep the humidity up more. I can't seem to find much information on House Geckos anywhere.

I need to know for sure what kind of turtle I have and Ibelieve i've found a female three toed box turtle. Are there any other turtles with three toes on back with yellow eyes? Also I need some pointers on how to care for it...

Hiya!

Ummmm... my band is having a photo shoot and we want the lead singer to have a snake wrapped around her. But I haven't got a clue about snakes and I need one that is HARMLESS but looks dangerous, if you know what I mean?

Also if you have any good ideas please let me know where I would find this sort of snake!

Any help will be appreciated! Thanks soooo much! ;-)

He has recently had an infection and lost a lot of weight and I really want to get him something that we will fatten him up.....he looks so frail!! I'm using mealworms at the min as he's a bit weak to catch crickets.

I have a turtle and about 3 weeks ago he got a bump on his face on his cheek area to be exact. The bump is pink and it's pretty big, I'm a little hesitant to take him to a vet because I have no money and last time I took him it cost me about 100 bucks. I just need to know if this is serious or if there is something I can do to help my turtle. Thank you

I thought I saw someone suggest a forum called Happy Turtles forum or something like that.. what was your name on there? I'm thinking about joining and interested in many of the members turtle pictures..you seem knowledgable about turtles and figured you'd be a good friend to help with info. Thanks.. hope you can help!

I have two turtles both are Identical exept one has a long tale the other's one is about half the size. I know that males have long tails females have short ones but the pet shop employee said they are both males. Also... the man who sold them to me said they are GRASS TURTLES but I haven't found such thing on the internet. They have yellow stripes on the heads green and yellow shell, and have reletively flat shells. They have 5 claws and are semi aquatic. What is the SPECIES and what is the SEX of one of them. Can I trust this small store owner?

my corn snake is now 14 months old and on medium sized mice every four days. her poo has always been bird like and dry. However, recently she has produced lots of wet and somewhat smelly poo. Is this normal? Is it because the tank is too cold? Any help please.

I have been using lizard litter for my beardies, it's sooo lightweight & easy to clean! Buuut...,I recently realized that it has crushed walnut shells in it, which I am highly allergic to ;-( and I HATE using sand for (various reasons). I think Vermiculite is my best bet, but it's very salty & I can only find it in 5# bags. If any good reptile luvr can help me, i'd be greatful.
