Care of Reptiles

No, you shouldn't house different breeds of lizards together.

Judging by all the ads on craigslist, you need to pay someone to take it off your hands. well it depends what kind of breed and it would probley range around 125$-150$

A thermostat to regulate or monitor heat is not required to keep a leopard gecko. This species will require an ambient heat of 88-94. This can be acquired on the warm side by using a heat mat. Most people refer to this as a UTH (under tank heater). Using a UTH allows the leopard gecko to rest it's belly against the warm substrates, which is key in keeping a leopard gecko. Most keepers will use a thermometer to monitor the heat within a terrarium.

Why waste time on a forum expecting detailed answers - take her to a VET NOW !

Yes

50-60 years

but can be more or less

First of all: Are you sure the tortoise has gone a month without food? Second, have you tried to feed it the proper diet? (Lettuce leaves, fresh green grass, cactus, etc.) Third: Is the tortoise wild caught or bred in captivity? Fourth, have you improperly treated the animal? If you have stuck it in a cage, never let it out, terrorized it, abused it, and only offered it something other than the proper greens, you definetly do not deserve to own any kind of animal and should be locked up forever. I have a tortoise we think was abused. The previous owner had him stuck in a tiny tank, and we suspect the poor tortoise was never let out to graze on grass or really sunbathe. He his diet was mainly dog food, so his shell was slightly deformed. He must've been treated very badly since he wouldn't stick his head out and if he did, he'd shy away as if we were going to beat him with a stick. For a few months, I rarely saw his head and to my knowledge, ate or drank nothing. With coaxing, care, and the help of our other pets, he poked his head out, ate, drank, and became a very happy little tortoise. Today, he loves the outdoors, snaps at fingers when eager for food, sunbathes, and loves walks, just like a regular tortoise. If your pet was in the same situation as mine, just do what I did, and let your tortoise be around other pets, (as long as they won't hurt him) set out fresh greens and water, and see what happens. Take it to a vet if something appears wrong.

• No, Burdock seeds do not grow near water, but are cultivated in good earth and need to be watered regularly. http://www.horizonherbs.com/pilot.asp?pg=burdock_seed

Males have an indentation on the carapace, or bottom shell, plus longer front claws.

Some porkipines are most likely to eat...if they want ;.)

Measure the Inside of the sleeve (Length ,width & depth) and the same measurements of the Outside of the A/C unit to be sure it will fit the sleeve.

Warm-blooded and cold-blooded refers to animals that produce their own body heat and do not produce their own body heat, respectively.

On a micro biologic level, certain mitochondria within all warmblooded animals are 'defective', in a manner of speaking, in that one of the methods normal mitochondria store energy is by creating a chemical charge across a membrane, and in these specific mitochondria, the membrane is porous. To move the chemicals across the membrane, the mitochondria expend energy, or ATP, which produces heat. Since the membrane is porous, and cannot hold a charge, the chemical pumps run constantly, using energy at a consistent rate, and producing heat.

Warm-blooded animals have these mitochondria, and thus produce their own body heat. Humans are one example. Cold-blooded animals do not have these mitochondria, or if they do, have them in such small amounts that they cannot heat the animal's body sufficiently. Snakes and lizards are cold-blooded, which is why they can often be found in warm spots, basking in the heat of the sun.

DON'T do it yourself unless you're confident you can do it successfully ! Take the Iguana to a vet - it may cost you a small fee for their service BUT they're experts in this. You risk causing damage to your lizard's toes if you do it wrong (or the lizard makes a sudden movement !)

One way to keep the Iguana's nails in check (once they've been trimmed) is to place a piece of clean slate on the floor of the vivarium. That way it will act as a nail-file and keep the lizards nails short without you having to do anything.

well dragons in fairy tales do not agsist but you can get some animals like reptiles witch are described as dragon skin, but there is a lizard known as a bearded dragon

How long does it take for turtle to lay eggs ?? if yu want info on this call Ronald Watts , and he can give yu answers , he knos everything bout turtles ... call him on 32977705 .

i think they can. my pet tortoise went over to a yellow toy, looked at it, then walked away. then he went to some grass, looked at it, then ate it. this should clarify it.

-------------------------

Yes, they are attracted to the brightly colored flowers in the desert. I have a tortoise that loves to eat bright dandelions. He can see them from quite a ways away, and will traverse great lengths to get to them.

the easiest way I have found to identify any animal / plant is to visit the website of the state univeristy of the state, I live in Florida have excellent seccess with FSU, but use the search string like this, Frogs in Florida, Frogs of Florida matting cries.... this will get you closer to the sites you are looking for.

This of course depends upon which dragon you mean and what exactly you mean by dragon. Many member of class hexapedal don't rate the term dragon - being fish, or sea serpents. Those members of the class that we ordinarily consider to be dragons can range from a mere eight teeth to fifty-six - as far as current research has gone.

Basking is usually associated with laying out in the sun. Maybe on A rock or warm land. It is to expose yourself to warmth. Most likely with Reptiles and us humans. As in "Tanning".

Not usually, either big frog eats little snake or big snake eats little frog.

Not recommended.

Terrapins live for 10 to 25 years. They also grow to the size of a dinner plate.

No. They eat small rodents and animals, but a hawk will eat a snake. I have seen them catch one.

He is probably trying to hibernate

The rarest animal in the world today is a giant tortoise, which lives in the Galapagos Islands. Black rats have overrun the islands and they eat the eggs and the young.
