Reptiles - February 2007

i did everything for my turtles fed them daily, cleaned their tanks. i don't know if its the size of the tanks or if the tanks need oxygen.. i fed them the feeds provided by my petstore, they liked it the first few days but weren't touching them a few days later.. what other things can i feed them.. awww.. i want to buy another one but i don't know if i could maintain them... should i buy another turtle or is there any low maintenance pet that you could recommend (woukld fishes do?).. thanks!

I have a Pacman frog, or a Horned frog, whichever you prefer to call them. They have several different names. I know they need about 50%+ humidity, but it's hard to keep it at that level. I like to keep him up around 70-80% but at night and during the day when I'm not attending him, it drops as low as 20%. And during the day when I am attending him, it's hard to keep it up, and I frequently have to mist him. He's in a circular container, rather than a fish tank as of right now since he's not very large. I have a small heating pad underneath if that counts for anything relating to humidity. I just need to know if there are any other ways in keeping humidity up. Would having a light on him work since he's kind of in the dark at night? Or will that have no affect at all? Any advice or websites would be very helpful as long as it's in relation with my problem. Thanks.

I Love snakes with all my heart. I'm wanting to be a herpetologist. I've been studying snakes and so far have only interacted with them in the wild. I am well read and somewhat experienced. My favorite snake is the Scarlet king snake and if i get on as a pet i would want the scarlet king snake, However i have no idea if they would make good pets. I know if i was a snake i would much rather live in the wild than in a glass cage, but Iove them so much, if I had one as a pet, It would go everywhere with me.

If anyone has any information please LMK,

Thanks guys, youve never let me down before,

James

or do I also need lighting? I was thinking since they are nocturnel they probably wouldnt need it anyway.
and Im only using a 10 gallon, so Im worried that to much heating stuff will make it way to hot. so is a undertank heater all thats realy needed for a leopard gecko??

I have a friend that has a real problem with mice. I have actually seen them scurrying around when I am over there. She has said she has tried everything and can not seem to get rid of them. Any suggestions I can tell her to help get rid of them for good? All suggestions welcome, thanks.

I'm interested in buying an older female ball python. I have possibly two choices: a 2 year old or a 6 year old. I would like to attempt to breed whichever I purchase. I was wondering if anyone had any comments on the advantages as well as the drawbacks to purchasing older snakes.

Thanks

My male bp has not eaten in the past month. i know they are picky eaters, but i have never had a problem with him until now. all three of my other ball pythons are eating fine and never had any problems. he has just pooped out a lump of hair, but refuses to eat.
