On the previous feeding, I fed him two medium, fuzzy mice. He ate them very quickly with no problems at all. This last weekend I fed him an adult mouse. He ate it with no problems. The next morning I saw that he had thrown it back up. All mice were thawed and warm. Now he doesn't even stick out his tongue to smell his surroundings. Before he was very alert and energetic. Now he seems confused. I had thought the tank was chilly but it is at 75-80 F all the time. I tried again to feed him but because he wasn't smelling with his tongue I don't think he knew what the mouse was. I'd like to know why he doesn't sense his surroudings with his tongue anymore, and if I need to take him to the vet.

I checked the tank, no skin. The day after I noticed that, I fed him. Is this okay? I clean the tank weekly, if you want to know.

he did not shed, because there is no skin in his cage, and he has plenty of water... What's happening?!?

I have a pet snapping turtle that i've had for 3 days. I found it in my back yard as my cat was playing with it. I had a small 10 gallon tank that i put him in with about 2 inchs of water and a rock he can climb on to bask. I know i hav eto buy a 100 gallon tank and a good filtration and a basking light. Right now i only have a regular light and bring him outside for about an hour everyday. I was wondering what kind of water am i soppose to be using? Since it is a wild turtle. I have been using pond water. I didn't want to use town water. Also is there anything else i need besides a light and filtration? I am planing on getting some turtle vitamin supplements and some duck weeds. I am feeding him earthworms now.

I have never seen my ball python go into a ball. I mean, he makes a circle with his body in his log house, but thats about it. His cage is at the right temperature, humidity is good. He has a very big cage, various hidy holes. Hes starting to eat a small rat every week. When ever i get him out hes crawling all over the place. We got him from a breeder, but what could it be? The only time he ever hissed at me was when he had problems shedding, so i helped him out. I got to close to his head, and he hissed. I scared me! lol. but even then he did not ball up. Could he just be a snake that is very docile? Please send suggestions.

He is a Medieval Spandoria Dragon. Not yet fire-breathing, but he will soon. He is relatively small now (can fit into a doghouse), but will soon have to put him in the garage.

Main thing, I know, is to keep him secret--night flight only. But I am also a bit concerned about what to feed him. I've heard of a couple of cow mutilations at the dairy up the road, but I can't be sure it was Stradivar (that's the name I gave him).

I don't want him to prey on someone's livelihood. I've actually thought of moving to south Florida and letting him feed on the gators and larger game in the Everglades. But as you know, dragons hibernate, and without the cue of cold weather and snow, they may not do so, and this could cause trouble. Also, the heat down there is bad, and dragons fare better in more temperate climates (mid- to northern European temperatures, but not artic like temperatures--except for Snow Dragons).

Your thoughts?

And no I'm not going to barbeque him. Ok we did once five or six years ago, his tail fell off. Really it wasn't that good. Tail is back and I can't keep him anymore due to my health problems. Where can he go and live a long healthy life?

Well I got a female to join my male about a few weeks ago and now she is not eating her food, hasn't touched it for the last 2 days, my other one is eating normally, and she is normally a pig she rushes over to her food dish any time I get near it. I dont know if she is about to lay eggs or not, I cant feel them like people say but I dont know what they feel like, she has been digging a bit but they down look like nest that people talk about, but my tortoise tabel I have them in has only about 1 inch deep of bedding, so it isn't going to look exactly like a nest. So First of all, is there other ways to tell if your tortoise is about to lay eggs, and 2 is there any other reasons she could stop eating all of the sudden (oh also, the temps range from 95-70 so it isn't to hot) Also extra info, I bought her in a pet store with one other female and a male. so there is a chance.

I have two RES turtles. They're always hungry. I'm not sure their age and therefore not sure how much I should be feeding them. Right now they eat mealworms in the morning and reptile premium sticks for dinner. One of the RES has a huge thing of skin above each of his back legs. The other one does not have this extra skin. Does this mean that he's overweight? Or that he's shell is not done growing?

Any help with be good. Thanks.

I just want to make sure my bearded dragon is pooping a normal amount of times. While I'm on the subject, she's quite a picky eater and wont usually climb down to eat her food until around noonish, and even then she just nibbles at it. Is there any way of improving her appettite? Thanks all, for your poop and food suggestions.

He is a small tortoise. He had a cage but the cats broke it. It needs a lid that slides off so we can put his heating lamps on it, and be able to take off the lid to feed him. He likes lots of room, and its too cold for him to live outside. Inside, he is in a small area, and there is nowhere else to put his cage! Please help, he's living in the bathtub for now. Thanks!

I got home and my frog was sitting in the bottom of the tank not moving, so i lifted him up and got him a little damp with some water and he turned around. I put him back in the cage and he started shaking, like shivering it seemed, and his legs stretched out and he got all stiff and layed on his back like he was dead!! I picked him up and he sat on my hand and was sort of moving, then he turned around. I put him on the water dish and he's been sitting there, not hopping.. He's been really slow for the past week, what's wrong with him??!!!!! Please help!! He's an american green tree frog, about 7 months old!!
