I hate wearing gloves and carrying around a special stick for snake catching so I've decided I'm going bare handed, but the problem is being bit. When a garter latched on to the side of my hand l tried to pull its jaw off of my hand, but that only put cuts into my finger and then when i got the snake off it's mouth filled with blood and it wouldnt stop bleeding. how do l get a snake off thats latched on to me without hurting it, or making my hand worse? l'm guessing some of his teeth pulled out or it bit its own mouth

I have a baby leopard gecko- about 1 month old and she eats 10 crickets a day because she's growing.
I'm going to the pet store on July 1st to get more crickets, and buy some other stuff. I ran out of crickets today, can she survive 3 days or should I just make an extra trip to the pet shop?

There is only one end open, So, unless the snake can back up, it won't get out.

Even if you wash your hands after .. can it get inside cuts on your fingers or hands? If the turtle walked on a table and you wash it after.. should you throw out the sponge and rewash the area again later?

Can you get it from just touching the water the turtle is in?

I am paranoid.

So we have three really small turtles in a 10 gallon tank. We have a water filter, and decorative rock, and that floating rock thing. We have the tank probably about 3/4s full with water. Is this ok for the small turles? They're not babies or anything but I just didn't know how long turtles can hold their breath and if swimming to the top all the time is too much work for them. They do seem to have fun swimming around though. Anyone know if I need to decrease the amount of water or not?

I want to let my turtles wander around my house all day. To do this I am going to put their tank on the ground and build a ramp... I just need to know where they go to the bathroom?
It is my hope that they only go in the water, but I dont know.

can someone please tell me?

Okay. I have 4 turtles, the largest only 2.5 inches. Two common musks (one is female), a painted, and a map or false map turtle. They live in a ten-gallon (I know, its over-stocked), and I want to try to keep the water as clean as possible for them so that I dont have to change it as frequently (I usually have to change it every day to every other day).

My tank is set up like this: the water reaches almost the top of the tank (maybe about a half-inch from the top), and, skimming the surface, is a tupper-ware lid that I have turned into a ledge (its a square, so I put it in the corner. I put a screw in three corners, and string is tied to them and taped to the outside of the tank). At the bottom is a circular cinderblock and about a half-inch of pebbles and shells. Crap always builds up in between the them, and the filter cant clean it, so should I get rid of them? Other suggestions (aside from getting rid of the turtles, which I know some wit is bound to say) are appreciated

two of my turtles are facing each other having their arm stretching out and then one would like shake its arm ( looks like vibrating ) and then the other one would follow it. and then first one stop and the second one would go up closer to the first one and then the second turtle would do that arm thingy again.do you think they are playing or what?

I got my tortoise less than a week before. He got introduced to dogs and one was a bit agressive but he didnt lay as much stool as he did at my friends house. I took him to my friends house and he got introduced to 2 more dogs that were not agressive at all just curious. When he was inside the house staring at the dogs on the other side of the glass, he started to lay a HUGE stool, keep in mind this tortoise is still young. after his stool he started to pee and then there were like white flakes that looked like oatmeal in his pee.He just eats apples, cherries, lettuce, watermelon, and grass. Maybe an hour after he started to poop again. while we were going back home maybe 3 hours later he started to poop and pee again inside the car. Could he have gotton car sick? Was he nervous or scared of the 2 new dogs he was introduced to, if so how come he didnt poop and pee when he was introduced to my dogs? Could he be sick? How come he didnt poo and pee at my house like he did at anothers

Can turtles turn themselves up right once they are in the water. I heard if they were turned over on land they could not turn back over and would die. I just want to know that this big boy is okay. I had to pitch him into the pond to save him from a car. When I saw him land upside down ...well is he okay?

their shells are about the side of a half dollar.. anyways i was wondering.. one turtle is far bigger than the other and more muscular, he has longer nails and tail, so im guessing he's a male, and since the other is a female, i want to know what will happen? [i know what will happen.. lol] but i mean, how big or how old do they get before they start mating, if so?
