I have had the panther gecko for about 4 months. He has gotten slightly bigger since I got him but not by much. He hasnt shedded his skin in at least two months. I've been feeding him on average about 2-3 crickets per day and wax worms about once a week. Is that a sufficient amount of food for him? How often are they supposed to shed their skin?

I tried blending it in with other stuff, and making a dressing to put over them but its still no go, she wont eat her greens or vegitables. She only seems to like fruit.

I bought a brick and was unable to break it in half, I tried stepping on it and cutting and I didn't have a knife sharp enough,(butter Knife).

I was wondering is it okay to freeze the rest of it and use it, and defrost it when I need it again?, Because I don't want to waste it.

well i needto find ways of making her more tame, i hold her everyday but she struggles real bad and hisses at me, i was gong to let her have a bit more excersize by letting her out in my room for a while, the only problem would be catching her again, as i cant leave her out to long as she would get cold and if she gets under my wardrobe or anything i cant get to her, any ideas on how i could tame her better ?

I got a call yesterday from a woman who had a banded watersnake caught in netting over her pond, managed to untangle it and get it home, put some gentimicin ointment on it and set it up in a very simple, very clean cage with a -small- water dish so it wouldn't be able to submerge (No bleeding wounds, but some oozy-looking spots and some gouges on it's head and some areas where it nearly rubbed it's scales off.

Anyone else deal with anything like this and have additional ideas or suggestions on rehabbing?

Not to worry, once I see that it's looking healed up and has a few decent meals, I'll be letting it go somewhere where hopefully it will never see a net again.

My box turtle has 3 eggs in her. She laid one in her tank about 14 weeks ago and then I waited 3 weeks before taking her to the vet. Xrays showed 3 eggs and she was given oxytocin. Oxytocin has worked for her in the past (5 or 7 times). but after repeated trips back to the vet for more shots of oxytocin (up to the max allowed) she did not give up the eggs.
She did act like she wanted to. you know how they kind of do something that looks like Ti-chi (sp? ) when they want to lay an egg. the vet followed up with many phone calls and suggestions of how I might improve her habitat because he was certain that it was a husbandry issue. So I followed all of his advice including soaking in water, lots of direct sunlight in my back yard, in soft potting soil, increasing the temp in her tank to at least 90.... But no eggs yet. Should I take her back for more oxyticin? She'd always laid eggs indoors ( tank, closet, floor). I have had her for over 25 years.

Okay. Recently I posted a question as to what this thing was....

http://www.cryptomundo.com/wp-content/uploads/giant-turtle-001.jpg

But thanks to one of the people who tried to help me figure it out, now we have more pictures at this link:

http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/turtle-beaching/

I still don't believe this is a giant sea turtle nor a whale.

You can see a sort of reptile-ish face, almost prehistoric, as well as arm like things near its head and fins as legs in the back followed by a tail. The black stuff on it's back seems to quite possibly be scales, just like an alligator???

Any thoughts? Thanks!

I have a Russian Tortoise and three Bearded Dragons. I want the tortoise to have companions. I want to build an enclosure where they are not in the same pen but are still able to see each other while at the same time having enough of a visual barrier to where they won't try to go through or hurt themselves trying....any ideas?
