Ive had it for a few months, and it just keep getting darker. When I got it it was a really pretty bright green, and now its really dark, like a brownish green. Its an american green tree frog.

I've been leaving the basking lamp on 24/7 so far, but I'm wondering if its okay to turn it off at night since they should learn from day/night?

Today we saw a tortoise/turtle in our front yard but we can't seem to identify it. He was large, maybe 2 feet. His shell was a solid dark color and looked almost glossy. His head looked kind of pointed and he had spikes going along his tail (which was very long). We are native to the chesapeake area. My grandmother thought it might have been a terrapin, but I could not find any pictures that looked remotely like what we saw. Does anyone know what kind of turtle this might be?

He gets all the food he needs. Is this because he is happy to see me?

I do not want to hear that they are harmless and only eating bugs. I'm terrified, the kids are terrified, and I want them out of my house without having to take drastic measures...

I had 34 feeder fish in the tank with my 4in. RES and 1in. Yellow Belly and my 2 1in. Map turtles. They ate 32 of the feeder fish in less then 15 minutes. I was feeding them pellets but they would eat like 20 of them so i got feeder fish. I had the feeder fish in the tank for at least 2 weeks. last night one of my maps caught one and my RES was getting up set because he couldnt catch them. after 10 minutes he learned to wait till they go up and sneak up under them. My RES went a killing spree. Does this mean i need bigger feeder fish? He eats them fast. We got him 1in. feeder fish because we thought they would fill him up. but i guess not.

I'm so scared that my water isn't clean enough that my RES turtle is getting sick. There's some white fuzz all over his skin! It seems very excessive. My other turtle who's in the same tank isn't affected at all. They're babies by the way and I've had them for 4 months now. On a closer look it could look like he's shedding some skin.. but I'm not entirely sure... and it's really getting me concerned!

I got an RES yesterday as a gift, and I was wondering how I can tell the age of it. I know for sure its not a baby since a baby would be about an inch or two (which is illegal to have .. i think). My turtle is a girl, and she is about 3 1/2 inches - 4 in. Can anybody help? Please?

Is this normal? He sometimes has spit hanging from his mouth. I have watched him open his mouth super wide. What is he doing? It's very odd. I worry a lot about him because he doesn't seem to be behaving like the books say he should in regards to his eating, basking and sleeping. I wish he was normal.

Ok I have a male and female RES and I have them in like a 45 or 55 gallon tank and I was wondering if the setup I am going to put them in sounds good. I will have them in about 1 foot of water. Can I go out to my creek and find a big rock and stick to put in the tank for them? Is this bad or ok? I will have a bare bottom tank with nothing down there. I will obvisously have a lamp and filter and water heater. Does this sound good? Is there anything I can't do or shouldnt do? Please correct me if I shouldnt do something listed above.

I'm getting one of these lizards and they are a Bearded Dragon or a Chinese Water Dragon. I don't know which one i should get. I know that both of them are hard work especially the water dragon since it gets bigger but i don't know which one to get.
I'm 12 and when i was little i always wanted a lizard but my parents wouldn't let me get one but then i asked them one for my birthday and they said yes so which one should i get? the color type lizard I've always wanted was green so the Chinese water dragon works but the bearded dragon is smaller and i don't care about the prices my mom know how to get cheaper things.
So what i mostly want is to know which one is a better pet. and to everyone who answers please be specific so i understand, Thank You!
