Thank you! Yes, all is well, just crazy busy with work and all that usual stuff. I am going to try to make some time to pop in and out more, definitely. I love the new forum set up!

Hi everyone! It's been a loooong time since I've been on here. So long, that I have 7,879 new threads to look through lol I'm sorry, but I started working like a crazy person a couple years ago and being active on forums fell by the wayside. Thank you so much for the award! I totally didn't...

Wooo congratulations! That cage is amazing, what a beautiful thing to have in your house. I'm sure he'll feel nothing but right at home in there.

It's never as "just friends" when a male and female are together!

You're very welcome! I used to get my fixtures from Lowe's/Home Depot and then order the long UVB Reptisun bulbs online somewhere, taking advantage of deals.

Oh no, I am so sorry! Had I seen this sooner I would have echoed the two people that blamed either parasites or an infection for the death of your male, it seems like the most likely culprits. I'm also sorry that the vets may have been rough with her. Vets are great but not very many of them...

I feel like that is a lot more timers than you need. This is me talking as someone who doesn't know how many cages you have and whatnot, but at one point when I had 8 cages and a baby bin set up in a room I was only using two timers and two outlets, with 4-5 cages plugged into a single extension...

Jeremy, aren't you about my age? In 1995 you were about 5-6 years old, no? How much can a small child really ponder about species bans and quota numbers?

If it will also live in a tank or cage then really anything is fine. I wouldn't get a cat or something predatory like that that lives loose in the house, but a hedgehod, a beardie, even a snake, are all a-ok. Nearly anything is compatible so long as each species is living by itself in its own...

Any news? I'm just seeing this now as well. Stay positive, a lot of these things are false alarms. I'm only 25 but I've gotten back abnormal routine tests that needed a biopsy and most of the time it seems like it's the doctors being extra cautious more than anything else. Hoping it's just a...

I wonder if he did something weird to injure himself or (if you live with other people) someone maybe caught his tail in the door accidentally for a second and then was too scared to say anything. I had a panther that cracked the end of his tail during a cross-state move, it was fine for a...

Where I was working part-time a couple years ago we got several lots of baby WCs from the state and I was heavily responsible for raising them, and they were great. Veeeery much like panthers and just as potentially tame if you raise them the same way. The females have pretty colors, with more...

And that's how it's done, ladies and gentlemen! Wow, congrats Laurie and colleagues on the 20 pairs.

Glad you're ok! I got myself 18 new frames with mats for what I've been calling my "natural hidtory gallery wall" which I'll put up in the next couple weeks. But i have dozens of old animals prints, anatomical drawings, and framed insects that I want to organize up on a wall soon. My parents...

I debate the risks of spending $200 on a WC Meller's at a show, I can't imagine spending $900-1,500+ for an individual of whatever species, wild caught, and feel comfortable with that decision. Captive bred, sure, but wild caught which can drop dead within days or weeks for no reason is not...
