Reptiles - November 2007

i have fed her a mix of beef heart and reptomin since i got her and she went from 1 in to 4 in in a few months but now all she does is lay on the platform and i know shes alive because i pick her up every once in while and she seems fine, so is this normal behavior or is there something wrong

he doesnt move as fast as ive seen him go in the past, and im worried that he is sick. he is only a couple months old. i think the problem might be that ive only been feeding him crickets, and not the fruits and vegitables he supposed to be getting.

Hello!!!

I have a female 2006 hermanns tortoise, I bath her every 2 days, and most days she is fed dandelions, hawkbits and cats ears, hawks-beard, plantains, clover, creeping bell-flower (mainly leaves), occassionally rose petals, kale, carrot, potatoe and peppers. and is always given tortoise dust sprinkled over her food.

The lights are on around 12 hours a day, the temp at the hot end is around 93 degrees, but at night it gets so low that i purchased a heat mat, but i heard that tortoises should not have heat mats as it burns them???? she seems ok though.

every day she has a good stroll around the living room sometimes for 20 mins, sometimes for an hour (depends how cold it is).

she is 8cm long and ways 100g

Is everything Im doing correct??????????

Does she sound like a healthy tort to you? i am a beginer and want everything to be perfect and want a happy healthy tort!

thanks
xXx

i have had my ball python for roughly 3 months now and was feeding really well he was eating 2-3 fuzzies a week. i recently got him a new tank and he addapted well to it and was still feeding really well. i checked him one day and found that he had mites wich i treated and managed to get rid of but recently he hasnt eaten (about 3 weeks) and his eyes have gone cloudy although i dont thinki he is due a shed. i change his water every day keep his tank at a 85f he has plenty of hides and i try to keep handling him to a minimum. what am i doing wrong?

Hey wussup?My cousin is going to be getting a turtle and she knows NOTHING on how to care for it. (Were going to pick it out together so she asked me to ask it on yahoo answers) Anyways, the things i really want to know are:
Where are some stores in Lombard, Illinois that carry turtles? What are the main different kinds of turtles?(Can you describe each one individually for me please, by size and personality) What kind of turtle do you recomend?Why? My cousin really wants a puny one, so what's the smallest type there is? How do you set the tank up? What kind of food do i get? Should she get a boy or girl? How much food should i give him/her? How often do you clean the tank? How do you even clean the tank? Do you buy a glass tank? How big should the tank be? Do any of them bite?Do they grow really big? What's the smallest one there is?

Share any experience you had with turtles, and any other things i would probably want to know about them. All comments are appriciated.Thanks!

This is very strang he is about an inch or an inch and a half long. I have no clue what the problem is, maybe he has an air bubble in his shell. He tries to swim down and can't. If anyone knows what is going on or how it could be fixed that would be great.

I'm really into getting a corn snake or a ball python. I have read lots of articles about both and can provide the environment they need. I have never had a snake before so if anyone has any tips on snake care or tricks on handling a snake that would be a big help!

He hasn't eaten in a week. I got "reptiaid" to supplement, but I have to use a syringe to feed it to him. He can't close his mouth and his tongue is so swollen, it is sticking out all the time. What happened, and can I fix him?

Recently when i moved him from his old tank to a more "realistic" enviroment with veggetation stones twice the size of his head..a filter..a basking dock and a uvb light, no heater cause they do not bask. And hes actually ALOT more actice and actually eats like a little pig he would barely eat in his old tank a 20g with just one hide. I felt bad so i took him to his new enviroment but a week before i took him out i had noticed he had a kink at the tip of his tail, i did'nt think anything was wrong i thought it would realign but instead it fell off. And i think it may be infected. Its been about a week since it fell off and now a nother piece of tail is turning whitish and i'm afraid that the infection will slowly kill him. he is still interested in food. I can't take him to the vet because he is just to fragile the vet would only do worse. Well im very worried. Is their any medicine i could put in there to kill the infection? It could be skin from when it when it fell off or it couldbe

I got a reptile starter kit which had sand in it, and since leopard geckos cant use sand I need something to do with it. Can I use it for my crickets, or just throw it away?

Okay, I have a turtle named Snapper, he's a red-eared slider, and I think he's sick. His shell is reallly soft, and he doesn't do anything but float around all day. I know he's alive because every once in a while he'll take a few strokes, but what's wrong with him? Also, he hasn't grown since I got him six months to a year ago.

I bought two beardies in September(male & female), im concerned that the male is growing much faster than the female(she eats very little) im worried that the bigger he gets the more aggressive he will become toward her or will they be ok having been kept together since day 1?
