i've had him for 2.5 years he's always been pretty healthy 3 weeks ago I fed him but he only ate 1 of the 2 mice and i tried feeding him once a week since them but he acts like its not even there, ive been feeding him frozen mice for about a year cuz 1 time the mouse attacked him pretty bad on his face and he almost died. I thought it had to do with him shedding but he did a week ago and still doesnt eat, i know if he doesnt eat soon he will die, he's pretty pale right now too. please let me know if there is something i can do.

The problem I have is that whenever I purchase plants for the tank my three RES's dig them up and eat them. While I have pretty much gotten the digging up problem solved I was wondering if anyone knows of plants that RES's don't really like eating that aren't actually poisonous to them? I love the look of plants in my tank, but they usually are all eaten by about the third day and I have to replace them. Any ideas of plants that RES's don't find too tasty?

I've had iguana's and I'm found them too fast and picky eaters. Not to mention one of them got mean after 3 years. I've heard leopard geckos are a good try. I'd like something that moves on the slower side....

I'm planning on getting a Ribbon snake when I move out. I want a small snake that won't get too large. I've done my research and figured that this is probably the best for me. Anyone have any advice about feeding, handling, etc?

All answers appreciated! =]

My boyfrined has some reptiles, and since some were not eatting at the moment he decided to keep the food which are medium sized Mice in tanks. They have been there for about 3 days now- can Humans condradict a virus or disease just from being in the presence of them? Im pretty paranoid even though they havent been too bad.

We live in central qld, so geckos could be Asian or native.

hey so my ball python has been in shed for quite some time now alil over a week, the old skin over his head is off and the rest of his body is still old skin. i have a small water dish under his light and a huge water dish in the middle of the tank to create moisture and humidity. my issue and question is... why isnt he shedding the rest of his body???? AND is it normal for him to take more than a week to shed cuz i feel like hes having a difficult time. i read that you should put him in his water dish and let him soak for a few minutes but he is very very aggresive and alot more bite happy lol. any ideas on how i could get him to shed off his skin or if i should do anything at all. thanx alotttttttt i know that was alot to read and i love everyone who responds with help<33333

Don't they realize that most areas have fines for releasing non-native species into the wild? What about the effects of a captive lifestyle upon an animal? Or introduction of parasites and diseases into wild populations?
"Oh, they have instincts, they'll be fine." No, they won't. If they don't learn the hard way how to stay away from raccoons, hawks, alligators, otters, whatever other native predators including cars you have in your area while they're young, how are they gonna learn now? Also, instinct doesn't have any effect upon climactic differences between where that animal is native to and the pond in your backyard or at a park or down the street, whatever. And if it DOES manage to beat the odds and live, things like this happen:

Please only experienced respondants only. We're familiar with the owner of NUMEROUS extremely friendly juvenile -to- adult burmese pythons, but lately he's been unavailble due to travel, and we'd like answers tonight please. We just got a baby, which we've been told is "nippy" at this stage. So, what is the most effective & quickest way to domesticate him? We've already fed him, but he bit my fiance anyway. Even with gloves he managed to leave a mark on my fiance. Do they grow out of this? How long? How can we speed up the process? (No "haters" please, no lectures on how we "shouldn't have" gotten him; yes we are aware of its size potential, and we are aware of all the horror stories being passed around.) If you can help, please give a reference...thanks!
