How can i get him to start eating commercialised food, i want to give him a varied diet, I've owned many turtles before, but im new to this kind of turtle. what should i do he also doesnt seem to fast and i received him upside down.

Most likeley a leopard Gecko they look so cool! I just have a coupl things to ask.
1. How often do you feed them? I am ok with the cricket thing. That is what they made sinks, soap, water, and gloves for!
2. Could I keep 2 in a 20 gallon aquarium?
3. Could you dish out some websites for them?
4. Do they bite and would it hurt?
5. How much would all this cost? Do they need a light heater thing? I have the aquarium already. Thanks a bunch!

I have heard that if the room temperature is warm enough,that you dont need a heat source,is that true?
I live in Florida so it's never gets very cold.I mean I'm going to get a heating pad (better be safe than sorry) but I didnt know if it's true that it's not always needed.

I am looking for an infant corn snake. I'd prefer albino or something unique looking but that is not needed. I Just would like it for a pet. Is anyone giving one away? If so, you can use my UPS account to ship it NEXT DAY to me.

If not, does anyone know where I could get a friendly, healthy, infant corn snake inexpensive?

hi,

i live in china and i just recently bought two very tiny turtles from a shop here. the problem is they don't seem to be doing very well (i've only had them for a day). they're just sleeping and they hardly move. i've placed them in a little tank with water and dry areas, and fed them turtle food, but they seem sluggish or sickly. is this because they're still babies or do i have dying turtles in my care?

She just shed today and had no problems, just a normal shed. When I was holding her afterwards and looking her over I noticed she had some patches of sticky scales on her. It's hardly noticeable, it just looks a little duller than the rest of her. I can feel it though, it feels like some sticky candy got spilled on her but she's never around anything that could have gotten on her. Any ideas as to what this might be and how I can help her get rid of it?

is it cruel to feed live mice/rats to reptiles.....

please look past the fact that what is their "purpose" since that is meerly the purpose we have only given them, when they are fully consious creatures with their own will to live- being able to think like us or not. also please look past the "circle of life" thing, also... i was just wondering since my snake refuses to eat dead mice and so i must feed him live mice..... its not like i can make him a vegetarian or anything, but i can't help but think about the mouse's well being along with my snake's since i love both creatures.

i accept the concept that animal's still have feelings and a mouse is not just a mouse! just because there are thousands of mice does not diminish the love of life to each and every one of them. and that is something every creature shares- we are alive and it is natural to want to remain so
