Well, late last night I realized that my turtles (2 res's) were doing this for the first time and did it for about a few minutes.

Basically they were facing each other under the water with both of their hands out and tapping their hands with each other.....does anyone know what does means? has this happened to your turtles?

I have no idea and would love to know. It seemed very cool.

thank you for your time.

My husband found this little guy/gal a week ago and I am finally able to go get everything for his/her permanent habitat. It's a very small turtle... maybe 1 1/2 inches in diameter (side to side). What are the basic necessities? I was thinking a tank (obviously), filter , heating lamp and basking dock. Am I forgetting anything?

They were in a net breeding trap, and a gourami managed to get in but I saw him! anyway in my struggle to get the gourami out 5 of my 2 week old babies got into the main tank with all my big cichlids, they are so quick!! and keep hiding amongst the rocks! Will they be ok if I left them? Or should I remove all tank decor to catch them??

My friend heard that iguanas are "mean" and that "they bite" ? Is this true ? How can they be handled to decrease the chance of being bitten ?

Are they both produced through livestock antibody harvesting or is there some other subtle difference?

I have had a ball python for over 2 months now, and not once has he defecated in his cage. I have to take him in the tub and wait about half an hour until he goes. Im not aggravated, I just want to know how long is normal before a snake is supposed to go, or if I should just leave him alone about it.

Wow?! this is weird or what?

I have 2 red ear sliders (about 3 years old each) and i just fed them 10 rosy red minnows i bought earlier at petco for a dollar (great price i think).....

well its been about 3 hours since i put the rosy reds in and the turtles not only have not ate them but are not even close with them!

is this shockingly strange or what?

i've had these turtles for 3 years and they've never had feeders. now the rosy reds are with them and the turtles are showing 0 interest in eating them!

maybe the beginning of a happy relationship? lol

My parents had a California desert tortoise for 26 years that passed away on Mother's Day last year. My mom has mentioned that she wants another one (an egg or recently hatched) so I want to surprise her with another one this Mother's Day... but due to them being so rare and protected I'm having a heck of a time finding out how/ where to get one! Does anyone know of a desert tortoise breeder (I've found plenty of breeders for other tortoises but I'm hoping for this specific type) or have any tips how to find another one of these tortoises? Thanks in advance for any help!

I just found a baby turtle in my pool. It's a (Red-eared/painted) Aquatic Turtle. I'm only going to keep it until it gets a little bigger, so I got a little turtle Island for it. The problem is that it doesn't come out of the water much and I was wondering what I could do about that, because I heard that if it stays in the water too long it could die.....
Any suggestions?

My friend's little boy wants a chameleon . The fellow at the pet store claimed they were mighty expensive, and my friend doesn't know if he should believe him . How much can somebody expect to pay for a chameleon ?

I was walking in my neighborhood and found a turtle on his back. I flipped him over and there was a spot of blood on the pavement and his shell. :-( I put him under a tree near some weeds and flowers. I don't know if he's got a home and fell (we live near a lot of stairs). I hate to just leave the poor traumatized little guy there but maybe he has an owner that will look for him later. If you have any experience at all, I'd love your advice. Thanks in advance!

i'm am makeing an outdoor enclosure and i wanted to know how much water to land i already know how much water i need (1 inch 10 gal min) and filters & pumps, hiding spots, shades spots etc. but how much of it should be land. the pool is about 6 feet across. i was thinking of a 9 x9 box like thing. and i was wondering if more or less land was needed.

refer to here for more info. (another question about the enclosure)
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtDYAjQu_4kKyMwcqZLZqCfsy6IX?qid=20070415234844AAn7Eav


it's for an easern painted and a RES.

please no comments on not to mix them together. i know that. there would be more than enough room for both and later this summer i'm going to take out a wall and add another deeper water area too. and rebuild the wall around it, so....


but if any one has a good educated guess it would be appreciated
