I need some advice ASAP. Here's the situation. I live in southern California, and my wife is living temporarily in southern Washington. We have a clutch of veiled eggs which are nearing parturition. They should hatch in a week or two. Right now they are here with me in California. The plan was...
If anybody would like a free male flame-crested gecko, PM me. I'm in Simi Valley, CA. He's about 2 ½ - 3 years old, I think—I can check my records. My two males are fighting each other to the death, and I don't have the time, finances, or space to set up separate enclosures for both of them. I...
Mescalito passed away peacefully this morning. I'll miss my little friend—he was unique. I buried him the same way I want to be buried—interred directly in the Earth. Here are some pictures of his funeral. Sharing them will help give me a little closure.
Our veiled was ready to lay eggs last week, but we couldn’t fit a bucket of sand in her cage. So we took a 40-gallon upright aquarium and filled it with 100 pounds of damp play sand, and let her have at it. She dug a tunnel all the way to the bottom and deposited 25 eggs in one corner. Is there...
I’m trying to wash last night’s dishes, and my wife comes flapping into the kitchen screaming “she’s got her blue spots and she’s cozying up to the male”. “That’s nice”, I mumble. Thirty seconds later I hear “dammit, the batteries are dead on my camcorder”, followed by more flustered flapping...
I’ve never had any of my little buddies bite me (knock on wood), but if they do, how bad is it? About a year ago, my wife’s African Grey tried to take a chunk out of my thumb, and believe me, it wasn’t pretty. It felt just like hitting my thumb with a hammer, and it left a bruise which took...
I have two of these cages, and I’d like to get more, but for the life of me I have no idea who manufactures them. I bought them from a guy I no longer will do business with, and I’d like to find another source. Also, does anybody know if and where I can buy just the plastic drip pan?
My wife and I purchased a Jackson’s 16 days ago, and had problems with it right from the very beginning. He just wouldn’t eat, and today he finally died. When I called the store and asked if I could get even a partial refund, I was told that I was basically SOL. The manager of the store even had...
I’m new to this board; I just joined yesterday. Would somebody please explain the #.#.# (species) lists that some members have in their signatures, such as this one:
2.2.26 Eggs - Veiled Chameleons
0.2.0 - Crested Geckos
0.0.2 - Micro Geckos
1.0.0 - Tangerine Phase Honduran Milk Snake...
We just purchased our first Meller’s a few days ago. He seems a little bit stressed, but I think he’s slowly settling in. He seems to have a good appetite, and is eating 15+ large crickets a day. I just caught an adult western fence lizard in my driveway. Would it be safe and/or advisable to...
