In the spring, I purchased an RES and a tank setup. I'm now looking at upgrading the tank setup so that she has plenty of swimming & basking room (ideally, multiple basking stations). However, money is a slight concern (starting my Master's in the spring), so I've been looking at alternative ways to give my RES an indoor, apartment friendly habitat.

Alternative in the sense that I've been combing the local Classifieds pages, Craiglist, ebay and FreeCycle for deals on tanks. I've also considered large (28 gallon) rubbermaid containers from Lowe's. I live in a small town in the Florida Panhandle, so the aforementioned resources didn't have too many listings regarding what I'm looking for.


Does anyone have any other suggestions of where I can look for good deals on tanks?

I've always wanted a python, and now I'm old enough and I'm seriously considering it. I have 2 cats and a big dog, and I really love animals. But I've always somewhat considered it mean to have that big of an animal in a small contrapped area... is it? What are some things you can tell me that I would need to know if I wanted to get one?

Any help appreciated. Thank you.

I literally have to feed him from there. He doesnt really move alot nomore .Could this be a sign of depression, maybe hibernation, or lazyness, maybe even soon death? I'm worried and need to know what's wrong with him. He looks so sad.
This is him:

The crickets that we feed it go directly into the log (in the cracks) and it doesnt give the lizard a chance to eat them! What can we do to make sure that they cant get into the cracks, that isnt going to hurt the lizard?

My Beardie may be sick. Two days ago I changed his living environment from carpet to sand. As a result he ate some of the sand when eating his crickets. Since then he hasn't eaten at all and is barely moving. Can I rinse his stomach?

ive had my baby red tail for a month now...he acts very healthy...but lately hes been hiding a lot..and not acting as active as he was before. This has been going on for about 3 days now. the temps are fine, 93 on hot side, 80ish on the colder side...temps go down at night about 5-8 degrees...is he going into shed? his eyes havent turned blue or anything, but im guessing that'll happen soon.

Ok so heres what i've limited my choices too. Two bearded dragons that are both a year old one is 11 inches the other is 8 inches for $50 which includes everything no cage but comes with a traveling cage. Or a blue tongue skink for $100+ shipping comes with nothing but the animal. But skink lives longer, i dont know which one to pick, which one would you pick? Also which one is friendlier, doesn't mind being held, etc. I would be getting the beardies tomorow, so i need to know now!

I have a young bearded dragon. When I got him, he was eating a lot. I have been feeding him small crickets, small-medium mealworms, and kale. There isn't any sand in his tank, just paper towels, but at the pet store they had repti-sand or something like that. At first, he stopped eating mealworms and now he won't eat crickets. I don't know what to do. Are there any home remedies or anything? I already spent a lot of money in vet bills on my tortoise that wouldn't eat, so I can't afford to take this one to the vet. Any suggestions would be great.

I recently purchased a Russian Tortoise. Everyone in my family is extremely dillegent about washing their hands after handling her. But I was wondering if anyone has ever had problems with their tortoise and salmonella? I've heard iguanas and turtles are the worst for carrying it. What about tortoises?

I have two bearded dragons- a girl and a boy, that are the same age, brother and sister. The boy is growing fast... and the female is still really small... She eats, drinks and goes to the bathroom, but I noticed that she is a little bit droopy, so I took her to the vet. The vet told me she probably has a birth defect and is going to die... so then i brought her back to the pet store and they told me that she most likely has a parasite that is eating all her food, and that is what is making her weak. She perks up in warm baths, goes to the bathroom, and it doesn't look unnormal.... and she eats pinhead crickets and romaine lettuce. Otherwise, she lays on her perch ALL DAY LONG and all night, and sleeps and sleeps and sleeps. Sometimes I've heard of brumating, but she isn't even 6 months old yet. As for the vet, she doesn't deal with reptiles, and I'm finding out that she doesn't even have a good reputation around here. Does anyone have any ideas? I don't want to lose my female beardie.

Hi, i have a baby bearded dragon about 14 weeks old. I have only had him for about 2 weeks but now he has stopped responding when i put food in the viv.

He was eating about 20 crickets a day and there was veg available all day. Now he will only eat if i hand feed him.

I have been dusting the crickets and the veg every other day and i have been spraying him once a day.

This all started the other day after i gave him some mealworms so i'm blaming them, so i'm trying small locusts now, he is still pooping though, but wont hunt his food.

This morning he is shredding his skin, could this have anything to do with the problem?

Thanks for any help.
