I have an anole tank and we discoverd the other day there is like a zillion mealworms in there. How do we stop them from reproducing? How long do the mealworms live for? How many babies will they have at a time? How long is it until they turn into beetles?

I just got a bearded dragon and I want to post a question on beardeddragon.org. I just made an account but I don't know how to put a picture on my signature (people have these really cool signatures with their beardies on them how do I do that?) or how to post a question or how to do anything on there. Can someone give me some help?

the question I wanted to ask was that I noticed a large bump behind each of his hind legs, and I remember reading somewhere that that means he is sick or something. What does it mean? (He is a little on the thin side, he was underfed at one one of his owners, I got him from a rescue shelter.

I just inherited a 10 year old iguana. She is just about 3 feet long. I am trying to get the proper lighting set in her new terrarium. I don't know the difference between UVA and UVB lighting? Which is more important for the tank? I also see that you can get different numbers of UVB lighting, (ex./ 5.0 UVB, 10.0 UVB etc...) Is it the higher the better? or the lower the better? Lastly, which is better - the long (old style) flourescent tube lighting OR do I want the newer styled "screw-in" self ballasted flourescent lighting? Please help an iguana "novice" out. Thanks so much

I got a baby corn snake about 2 months ago but it won't eat. I've tried exposing the brain and it still acts like it isn't interested. i try feeding it twice a week but nothing. Is force feeding too stressful for a 3 month old snake? the diameter of the snake is smaller that the diameter of the newborn pinky.

ok well his shell is soft
he doesnt move
his eye lids are thin enough to kinda see his eyes
he has red marks on his stomache...
and the center of his stomache is very soft

i went to petsmart and the guy there said he's still alive that he just needs more light...because he doesnt have any calcium and that to wait 3 more days after sitting outside with him for 3 hours in the sun.....but my mom keeps telling me he's dead.

he also said that if he's dead that everything would be out and he'd be kinda limp...he's not but....im still a bit worried......

he hasnt been eating since i got him. i got him in china town....(he's a red earred slider)

so anyone who actually knows anything about turtles can you PLEASE help me.

Currently i have a Ball Python, a pair of Leopard Geckos, and a Bearded Dragon. Seeing as how reptiles are going to be my future, i am looking to get a lizard that gets quite big, since i've already gotten a snake that will eventually be 5-6 feet long.

I have heard that iguanas can rip furniture to shreds with their claws, but if i keep them trimmed will it still happen? I also hear they do get quite messy, but im fine with cleaning up after them.

I havent heard much about chinese water dragons, but they look like really fun pets, and get almost as big as the iguanas. I plan to have a cage in the corner with proper lighting and maybe a couple things to climb on but mainly the iguana or water dragon will roam around in my room, or stay in an area for it in my room somewhere.

So mainly it comes down to what would be more expensive in the long run, what would be better in the long run, and how needy each of these are.

I have a three toed box turtle that we just got, and I am trying to find plants to put in the habitat, and I know some plants they cannot eat. I was wondering if clovers are one they can't eat, I know its unlikely, but I don't want to take any chances.

I got two turtles just a few days ago and their living in the same tank. They're those kind that you get in Chinatown. I'm wondering what type they are (Right now, they're 3/4 inches;green for the most part;shell points upward in the middle; and they have a brown oval like thing around the backs of their head or on the sides).

I am also wondering how big they will grow up to and how big the tank I should buy for them and other needs.

I have a pond in my backyard, it isn't one of those small ones for turtles...its very big and very deep. It has frogs in it and some bass---the forgs came on their own and the bass we put in. Anyway, I would really like some turtles in it. I live in upstate NY. I don't want to put up a fence, I just want some native turtles to be in it. But I want to purchase or adopt the turtles (not catch them from the wild). How would I go about doing this?

I have bought 2 baby water turtle about a week ago. I don't really know what kind of turtle they are. I think they might be red eared sliders but instead of red on the sides of their head it's light brown. Is that any thing I should worry about? Their shells width are about 1.5". One of them is slightly smaller then the other and has a softer shell. I do provide them with a basking area and calcium in their diets. I have noticed about 3 days ago something like skin was peeling off from the slightly larger turtle's neck. Is it caused by shedding? I also want to know if they are sick. How can I tell if they become sick? If you have any answers please answer. I don't know much about turtle so I’d appreciate your help since I want to provide them I the best possible life.

I have not seen her use it since I got her but today I found little tracks in the dirt leading to the edge of the soaking bowl so I think she used it but the water is as clean as can be.

And pics are the best way to help identify, though it is not always possible. A thorough description and location would give more thorough answers, but pics would give accurate answers.
