Ok, I've got several questions to ask. Firstly, I've got a Red-ear Slider housed in a 30 gallon aquarium, complete with several large rocks for her to bask and 5 inches of water with about 20 goldfish (feeders). The turtle was given to me by my friend when she was about 2 in. long (about 4 years ago), but now, her shell is about 8-9 inches long. My father took care of her faithfully, and she has a beautifully polished shell. But, now I'm considering buying a tiger salamander. My first question is: Is this an adequate aquarium size for a turtle that big. Second: would there be any conflict between the Salamander and the Turtle? The tiger salamander could reach sizes of 8-9 inches long, I believe.

I have 2 red ear slider turtles as pets. I have a pretty good environment for them and clean the tank regularly. I have had the turtles for 4 years, and am planing on breeding them, (one is a male, one is female, and i know they are able to breed around 5 years old) so i am getting ready for that. I have a 35 gallon glass tank pretty deep with water, and was wondering what special things i will need to accommodate the eggs and etc..
I know some turtles have to lay eggs in the sand or dirt, but since RES's are mostly aquatic, do they lay eggs underwater? Probably not... just a beginner at this and wondering if anyone had some tips. thanks

I'm getting two pet corn snakes soon, I'm not sure what sex they will be yet. They are both from the same parents but is it true two males are likely to fight each other? If so can they do much damage to one another?

i wanted to ask if anyone has ever used something called "parazap" on a bearded dragon? it is suppose to be an all natural ingredient powder that you make a tea out of or you can dust crickets with it. the main ingredients in it are wormwood and blackwalnut. i looked both of those up and they are supposedly used for the removal of parasites in the intestines and have been used for a long time. if anyone has ever used this before please let me know what the outcome was for you. thank you

I saw this one gecko at a pet store and i forget what type it is.
It had red eyes and it can climb on walls and the top of a tank. Any idea what it might be? Would it be a golden gecko?

Since there was a kid asking about these earlier, I figured I'd let the whole world know what it is...

San-ke: a blue and grey alaskan Yetti-like animal with big paws and buck teeth. The Sankes live in the wilderness just outside of Alberta, Canada and their habitat is shared with Whatchamacallits and lemurs. The diet of a Sanke cosists of fruits, vegetables and the occasional Reese's peanut butter cup. They are not very social creatures but have been known to curse people out whenever they hear the phrase... "That's two years in a row, man ... give a black man a chance!!" Careful because at this stage your Sanke may attack and bite off your fingernails while humming out the theme song to Hawaii Five-O...

I LOVE my SANKE!!!

Okay, i don't have long here with this situation, but i'm not sure what to do. There is a Gopher Tortise, which is protected by law to not touch or disturb their doings, floating in my canal behind my house. He looks famished, absolutly lost and confused and swam towards me when i went down there. (i thought it was a sea turtle) Do I get him out of the water (they are not water turtles) and set him on the enpty lot next to me, or do I leave him be and hope he doesn't drown. I don't want to let him drown, and there is NO way he'll be able to get out of the canal, as it is low tide and the canal walls are high. What do I do? I have no intention on feeding or keeping the tortise, I just need to get him out of the water I think! I don't want to get arrested either. Ack! Please help!
