I want to reuse an old 10 gallon that previously housed a hamster for a gargoyle gecko, so I’m planning on setting it on its side. The lid doesn’t exactly fit the tank so I’m gonna need to work on it before I can use it. Anyone have any tips for “tightening” the lid to fit the tank? It’s only...

Yesterday I was heading out and noticed a nest had fallen in my front yard. There were two babies in it, unfortunately one did not make it but the other seemed to be quite healthy. Since ants had already gotten to the other one I picked up the little guy and he got himself comfy then fell...

I took Vincent (formerly Ares) out today and noticed he has a dark spot on his head and a bit of his crest is messed up. There seems to be some skin/crest hanging off, too. I think he may have scraped his head on the top of his cage (his favorite spot is on top of an Exo Terra background). I...

I fed Melody a hopper tonight but she had some difficulty eating it. It took her longer than usual to eat and I think that particular mouse may have been a bit too big for her. Just as she had most of it down, I noticed that a little blood would come out of her nostrils as she bit down. Should I...

I picked up a created gecko on Sunday as my first lizard, and now I want to show it off a little bit. I don't know its gender, but I've named it Ares. It's an interesting little creature, it's different to have something that moves around (Melody mostly sleeps under her water dish). Thankfully...

I've been considering acquiring either a crested or gargoyle gecko and I found an aquarium that I think would be alright. The issue is, the brand does not offer screen lids, but only aquarium style ones, such as the hoods with lights attached underneath or sliding glass tops. My question is...

I was out on a hike tonight and picked up a little snake. Sort of looks like a midland brown snake according to a species guide online but I may be wrong. Anyway, a little boy who was holding it dropped it in the grass and it burrowed. The boy started to pull it out, not gently, and yanked it...

So Melody is a yearling, turning two in July, and she seems rather small to me right now. I'm not sure how big she's supposed to be but I'm still a little worried. I recently switched her to fuzzies, which are the biggest mice I think she could fit in her mouth. She's probably eaten about three...

I'm looking for information on cannibalistic reptiles out of curiosity and I was wondering if anyone had stories or knowledge on the topic, since there isn't much information on Google search results... It doesn't necessarily have to be snake-related, I'm looking for information on turtles...

I was at the Cleveland zoo on Monday and I found some actually wild animals including a baby chipmunk and my first wild caught snake! The snake, which I am assuming is some sort of garter, was on a sidewalk as I was leaving a building so I went up to it and grabbed it. It flailed and musked me...

A couple weeks ago I took these pictures but forgot to post them, so I'm doing it now. The place I went to must have had a million frogs and turtles. Every step I took was followed by at least two to four frogs jumping into the water. These are mostly frogs and turtles, but there are a few other...

Here's the story: Our neighbor was taking out his trash and he found eight baby rabbits very close to the road. My dad was walking the dog and saw so I was summoned with my camera. I was expecting a snake or something, but I wasn't disappointed to find the little rabbits! I took some...

I was out in Kentucky and the place I was at is teeming with animals. There were lots of snake holes, but only one water snake was found as far as I know, and I wasn't the one who caught it. But I did find some turtles and a lot of frogs, and I have a few questions on what a frog and a turtle...

Not an amazing find, but I took some decent pictures (in my opinion, LOL) of the little guy. The poor thing kept freaking out and jumping out of my hand and landing on its back. I felt so bad. That's why he was cowering in all of the photos. Anyways, here are the pictures. Sorry they're kinda...

I was just wondering what kind of snake this is. The person who took the picture couldn't tell me (I don't know why I asked him; it's just a pet store snake). I think it's very pretty and would, just out of curiosity, like to know what it is. :)

So my sister is getting a hamster and someone gave her pine shavings to use (even though I have loads of aspen). Is pine safe fore small animals? Please try to reply fairly quickly: I think she's getting it this weekend.

I feel terrible. I forgot to feed Melody for EIGHT DAYS. I looked at the log I'm keeping of her feeding and almost screamed. I immediately got the mice and she ate it FAST. I cut up the second one and fed her the part where the most guts were. When it was almost in her throut, she stopped. Some...

After feeding Melody last night, I noticed that the bump is less significant than last week's feeding. I checked on her this morning and I think the lump is gone. Should I start feeding her two pinkies? Maybe one and a half?

Melody shed either last night or while I was at church. I came home and found it, and it looked pretty good. There was no stuck shed until the last centimeter of her tail. I peeled most of it off, but there is the slightest touch of it left. I tried a wet paper towel, but no luck. Should I just...

I cleaned the viv yesterday and added an egg carton hide. Melody loves it. She likes the more closed hides instead of paper towel rolls and stuff.
