Care of Reptiles
No longer just the snake or lizard captured from your back yard, pet reptiles have become a major industry with exotics imported from all over the world. Reptiles are ectotherms and must back in the sun or find a warm spot to get warm and become active. Keeping reptiles as pets requires equipment, knowledge, and special care.

What does a snapping turtle egg look like?
Pretty much anything, But usually they crave meet, or fish in that manner.
As they grow they develop more, and more to plant's and veggies.
But for now just feed them any circumstance under the previous list.
1. Crab meet
2. Worm's (chopped is easer for them to swallow.)
3. Hot dog ( Once again chopped, easer to swallow.)
Just feed them that, and they should be good to go!
Good luck.
Turtles are herbivores.(they eat veggies)
Some type of vegetable are lettuce or carrot. I DON`T RECOMMEND you to feed brocolli.
You can feed them grape leaves. Also for fruits, you can feed them figs.
Actually, depending on the type of turtle you're referring to, turtles in general ARE omnivores, if you include land, aquatic, and semi-aquatic turtles.
Type 1:Land turtles/tortoises. Most species of this type are almost always herbivores. Examples include Box turtles and Harriet, the famous, formerly lived Galapagos turtle. (deceased in 2006)
Type 2: Aquatic turtles. Depending on the species, they are carnivores, consisting of mostly meat, with a small percentage of vegetables. Examples include sea turtles such as Leatherbacks, and Loggerheads.
Type 3: Semi Aquatic turtle
These kinds of turtles are mostly omnivores, meaning that they eat 50% of fruits and veggies and 50% meat, but this could depend on the environments that they live in. Hatchings tend to prefer a protein-based diet while older turtles tend to lean towards a more vegetarian-based diet. Examples include map turtles, painted turtles, and many pond slider species such as Red Eared Slider, and Yellow-Bellied slider.

What type of turtle that live in the pond?
The answer depends on where you live. Obviously, one kind of turtle may survive in a pond in Florida but not in a pond in Maine, while another may be the exact opposite. Some species may also be illegal in your state or town. Some generally hardy and common pond turtles are red-eared sliders, snapping turtles, and painted turtles. Painted turtles have several subspecies across the country, mostly based on their distribution, so finding one to fit your climate shouldn't be that difficult.
Were can you buy a tunisian tortoise?
The Tunisian tortoise, Furchulachelys naebulensis, is a very rare and endangered tortoise. It is protected to the level of CITES appendix 1 and any offered for sale or trade must have an article 10 certificate and be fitted with a microchip if they are 10cms long or longer. They are a very beautiful and active tortoise. There are breeders around but they are few and far between. Tunisian tortoises are not the easiest torts to keep in the UK, being very prone to illness if the conditions are not just right. They must NOT be hibernated in the winter. You may be better advised to buy a Horsfields, Hermanns or Mediterranean Spur Thighed which are far easier to find and easier to keep.
How long do aquatic turtles live?
Aquatic turtles, such as red-eared sliders, live for several decades, and can potentially outlive human beings. I remember reading an article about the oldest known aquatic turtle still alive in the United States; it was around 60 years old (almost as old as its owner). I tried to find the article again, but I couldn't. Sorry.
Sea turtles can live even longer; it is not unusual for them to live well past 100 years old.
What do turtles eat in a pond?
I had a turtle and i spent about 100 $ on him in one visit of the pet store. I got him water falls grass plants, you name it. And soon enough I found out that turtles love to dig or burro.

What if your bearded dragon hasn't pooped in 9 weeks?
Either it means you don't feed it enough, it buries it in secret, or it's constipated. Look for droppings in the sand with a liter scooper. If you find none, take it to the vet.
( Can't afford the vet, can't afford the pet. )

How is the frog different from other vertebrates?
The body structure, or anatomy, of the frog is very similar to the anatomy of man. Both man and the frog have the same kinds of organs and systems of organs. The frog's anatomy, however, is much simpler. As in other higher vertebrates, the frog body may be divided into a head, a short neck, and a trunk. The flat head contains the brain, mouth, eyes, ears, and nose. A short, almost rigid neck permits only limited head movement. The stubby trunk forms walls for a single body cavity, the coelom. Man's internal organs are housed in one of three distinct hollow cavities--the chest, the abdomen, and the pelvis. The human chest is separated from the abdomen by a powerful muscular partition, the diaphragm. There is no such partition in the frog's coelom. All the frog's internal organs--including the heart, the lungs, and all organs of digestion--are held in this single hollow space.
