I have been soaking him and then gently sloughng his body with my fingers to help remove the skin. Does it feel good to the snake? Is this bad for me to do this?

The first question is what do other people do when they go on vacation. I have one Red eared slider and am planning on a week long vacation. Do I need to get some one to come in and feed it? My other question is he has some algae growth on the shell. Is this normal? I usually just wipe it off with a paper towel.

I got my kingsnake back in about november and she was a baby. She has been doing great, eatting well, shedding regularly. She is about and foot and a half and i am still feeding her pinkys because the pet shop told me she wasnt big enough for fuzzies yet. The thing is she is hugary allll the time. I want to feed her a little more to help that and also get her ready for fuzzies since they are larger but i am not sure if i should feed her more often (as if right now i feed her like every 3 days) or to feed her two pinkys at one feeding. If someone with knowledge in this subject could answer this for me i would really apreciate it!

Can they be kept in the house along with other animals such as cats, dogs, lizards, without causing any harm or trying to eat them? I've always wanted a snake and do not plan on leaving it unattended or anything, but just considering if it did escape, I want one that is small enough & harmless enough to not hurt anyone or any other pets. Also, if ball pythons ever do bite- is it serious enough to require medical attention/ stitches?
(Asking a lot of questions because I don't know anything about keeping snakes) Thanks!

If you can give me any websites or other information to support your answer I'd be grateful. I'm trying to solve an argument my two highly vocal reptile-loving friends are having!

I bought a green anole about a month and a half ago. The first day I bought him he was lively and nice and plump. After about a day or two he just started to get reallly skinny.. he looked like he was starving and he just didn't really move he just laid wherever. So I thought maybe he was lonely and I bought him a lady friend. I put her in the cage and he still just did the same. The only time he would move was when I would stick a cricket into the cage, but now he doesn't even do that. He still looks dehydrated and skinny, but I feed and mist them everyday. It has gotten as bad to where he can't even open his eyes. I thought maybe he was shedding, but after he shed he still can't open his eyes and it has been 3 weeks. Then I thought he was cold so I put their cage in a warmer spot and kept the heat lamp on at all times. The female, Lizzie, is very active and showing signs she may be pregnant. I don't want him to die, but I hate seeing him soo miserable. HELP!!!!
