Okay, I just found out that I can order a tortoise this time of year... I didn't realize there is about 100 different choices. What would be a good pick for a family pet. The ones that get really big someday would be neat too. Thanks, any advice appreciated...

I promised a turtle for my girls birthday next month. I since found out this is non turtle hunting season so the pet shops around here don't have any. Does anyone know anything about turtles. The kind that live on land? Thanks. Also any info in general about your experience with a pet turtle. Thanks!

I got Reptomin food pellets for my 2 baby red-eared sliders 7 months ago. Maybe about a month ago, they suddenly stopped eating them. One of my turtles would eat it, and spit it all out in disgust. They don't like it anymore. I'm now giving them a variety of other food.

Does Reptomin have an expiration date?
If so, when does it expire?

I have someone who will take one in, but I'd rather if that wasn't necessary! Can I possibly get them to be okay with one another? (I've separated them for now)

Right now I have a 50 gal. tank for my dragon, but I don't really know how to clean the tank, can you please explain?

I have a reptile type carpet but I got it at home depot, as it's the same type of stuff, but I want to switch to tile because the poop stays on the carpet and I know it's not good for them. Which type of tile should I get? Should I buy 1x1 ft pieces and get them cut or what?

How do I clean the tank after I take out the carpet and other stuff? I hear to use hot water and vinger, is that true?

How do I give my dragon a bath if he always tries to jump out of my hands when I'm giving him a bath?

Please help!

i have three bearded dragons. i have one male, 15 inches nose to end of tail, and two females, one 13.5 inchest, and one 9.5 inches.

i know the females are too young for mating, and so i have got them separated, two females in one viv and the male in another one.

is it a good idea tom separate them from the male untill they are old enough??
when they are old enough, do i put in one female at a time, or both at the same time? (with the male)

I have a russian tortouise (ok I can't spell it!) But I use alfalfa pellets for his substrate and they get him dusty. Rather than washing him all the time I was wondering if there was a safe oil to clean up his shell with on occasion?

Ok, so I have had my little guy for about 3 months, and every once in awhile, I give him a bath (you know just to keep him clean). I used chlorine free water. When I was giving him the bath he started to lick up the water, so I put him back in the tank, and placed his head by the water dish. He started drinking, and drinking! I took him away, and after a few mins, he vomited up all the water. He seems o.k. now, but i'm still worried. He is about 3 months old, and 7 inches long. Please help. Am I just over worried? Or is there something really wrong?
Thanks

It looks as if his insides are comming out (from where he poops). He also looks dehydrated. We fed him carrots for the first time, could this be the cause of it? He has been sleeping for days, he moves sometimes, what should we do?
