Reptiles - November 2006

I had a turtle before (a few yrs ago) and one day in winter, it didn't move no matter how much I poke at him. I thought it was dead.
Now when I come to think if it, could it be hibernating?? Did I kill him by dumping it to the trash???

I bought two new baby turtles for my son. All they do is lay around and sleep. The last turtles we had were far more active than these two. Is this normal?
Also, I noticed one turtle has formed a thick layer of skin over its eyes. His eyes appear permanently closed. However, if you look at him closely, you can see his pupils through the skin. Is his skin shedding?

i recently got 2 baby slider turtles... i have been feeding them turtle pellets and they have been enjoying eating them. However about 1 week ago one of the turtles stopped eating. I tried boiled lettuse and other foods but he is not eating at all and has become week and thin. He sits up on the log all day to bask and even all night. He keeps opening his mouth now and again as though he is trying very hard to breeth.
I keep the tank very clean.... what medicine can i use?

thanks,,,,

My turtle lives in a 26 gallon tank and I do not fill the water up to the top. It has a palm tree & a rock platform to climb up on and loves its living arrangements! Pebbles is one happy turtle. But I need a filter that will work in this 26 gallon tank even if the water isn't that terribly high, the tank is high (he was known to climb out of his old 10 gallon tank). The filter I have now is called 520 something. It doesn't work and the employees at petsmart suggested it too. I used TopFin filters in the 10 gallon tank, and it worked slightly better but I don't think it would work since I don't fill up his tank. Any suggestions? Thank you! :)

We have had our leopard gecko for 3 years. Tonight our 7 yr old daughter picked him up and his tail broke off. Is it painful? Do we need to give him special care? How long until we see regrowth in his tail.

A few minutes ago I caught a small snake slithering around my front yard,but it snuck under a bush and no longer saw It.

Just curious as to what kinda of snake it was,any help would be appreciated.

It was really small,maybe about 9-11 inches long...very small in width,maybe half an inch,it was black but with very bright green stripes,almost yellow,but visibly green.The weather right now is cloudy and humid,it had been somewhat cold for the last few weeks and it didn't appear to be a pet snake,it was probably a baby snake too.

I have a co-worker/new friend who im turtle sitting for. Her turtles are in an unhealthy enviroment (10 gal tank for a 6" and 8" RES)and she doesnt seem to take proper care of them. I dont think she completely understands how to care for them. How do I go about informing her in the proper way to care for her turtles with out coming off as rude or saying she's a bad owner (she's not she really loves them). I myself have a turlte and she seemed shock at the extent we go to give him the best habitat. Hers arent fed vegitation only pellets and have no way of basking. She only has an aquarium lamp no heat lamp. And their is no adequete land for them to even dry on. Some advice on how to give her advice would be great :)

I have 2 RES one male one female. We have had them for over a year when I bought them the store owner told me they wouldnt get any bigger. Well she was mistaken the female is now 10" from head to tail and 7" accross the male is 81/2" long and 6" accross. They now are very aggressive towards each other him more than her he will bite on to her and not let go so now her back end is all chewed up and raw. I have a 50 gallon tank its not big enough for either of them anymore and I dont know what to do with them. with our living situation right now it would probably be best to find them new homes but nobody wants them. I called the pet store owner and she told me she would tak ethem back but right now her tank is full and i would have to wait until the others sold before vringing mine down. We love them but we just dont have the time or finances for them anymore. Does anyone have any suggestions on what i can do with them. I know i have to seperate them but but how not enough room in thetank
