    Mouse parts look odd...

A while back (can't remember if it was pre or post last litter) I noticed that mouse mother's privates were...

    Stimulating feeding using UVA??

    Hi Guys, I have recently added 2 bearded dragons to the family and as such had to make myself familiar with their UVB and UVA requirements. While reading they seem to say that UVA supplied to snakes like corns etc can stimulate appetite and breeding behavior. Now I do know that Corns don't...

    Thanks so much to everyone for answering my questions in the past, I do have another one in the pipeline now... Katana has been very scarce lately for the last week or two, and has not been roaming around virtually at all (that we have seen). Also she has taken to burrowing in her substrate...

    Heating / temps for rats

    I have just started a small rat colony and I'm trying to decide where the best place is to keep them. What kind of heating or temp ranges should they be exposed to? I don't have an outside shed or anything like that, Would they be ok on an enclosed veranda (not exposed completely to the...

    Using pine to build a viv??

    Hi Guys, I'm in the pipeline of trying my hand at building a custom viv for my growing girl. The easiest solid wood for me to get here is pine, I have heard that there are issues in using pine shavings as bedding due to the oils and such... Is the same true for using solid pine as a...

    Rats vs Mice

    When it comes to corns, is there really any difference in feeding them either rats or mice? (besides size of prey) I have just started feeding my corn 2 mouse pinkies at a feeding but the bulge doesn't look excessive (she is 10g and 31 at last weigh in about a month ago). The Calking (recent...

    Complete / Incomplete shed

    Hi everyone, There's a lot of info on these forums about incomplete sheds, especially if the tip of the tail is the problem... great advice all round. My Okeetee's first shed with me went 100% but this last one (number 2) was not as good. She still had a bit of her tip left which came off...

    Bloodreds

    I have been very interested in getting a Bloodred to add to my Okeetee and Calking. I have been told though, by the breeder I got my Okeetee from that Bloodreds very seldom have that great complete red colour and usually end up quite "dirty" and unattractive. Furthermore Bloodreds are very...

    What would be a good combination?

    At the moment I have an Okeetee Female and a Calking female. They are both too young to breed and that wasn't the intention when I got these 2 beauties, but having said that....:)... I might (in a few years) be keen try out a breed or two. To all those who are way more experienced out there, are...
