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. To learn more about how to properly provide the needs of pet reptiles, come into our Pet Reptile category.

What is the difference between red ear and red eye sliders?
There is no species called red eye sliders.
Voldemorts snake is a girl actually. By the sound of the snakes name, Nagini, which sounds kinda girly most people thinks its a girl. Plus the fact that Voldemort's "proto-body", the body he has during most of book 4 was from Nagini. Thats because it was hathed from a snakes egg, which is also why he looks so much like a snake.
But J.K. Rowling did say that the snake in the first movie that Harry set free was actually Nagini! BUT the snake kinda sounds like a boy :/
I'm still going to say the Voldemorts snake is a girl tho!
Hope I Helped!! :D
What is the life expectancy of a Russian Tortoise?
100 years.Giant tortoises are characteristic reptiles of certain tropical islands. They live, or lived until recently (some species are now extinct), in such places as Madagascar, the Seychelles, Mauritius, Réunion, the Galápagos Islands, Sulawesi, Timor, Flores and Java, often reaching enormous size-they can weigh as much as 300 kg (660 lbs) and can grow to be 1.3 m (4 ft) long. However, giant tortoises also once lived on the mainland of Asia and Australia, as follows from fossil finds in the Shivalik Hills in India. Today, the world's largest population inhabits Aldabra Atoll in Seychelles, where there are approximately 150,000 individuals.
These animals belong to the most ancient group of reptiles, appearing about 250 million years ago. In the Upper Cretaceous, 70 or 80 million years ago some already became gigantic and about 1 million years ago these reptiles reached the Galápagos Islands. Until 100,000 years ago most of the gigantic species began to disappear for unknown causes and only 250 years ago there were at least 20 species and subspecies in islands of the Indian Ocean and 14 or 15 species in the Galapagos Islands. From those, only one of the species of the Indian Ocean survives in the wild, the Aldabra Giant Tortoise (two more are claimed to exist in captive or re-released populations, but some genetic studies have cast doubt on the validity of these as separate species) and 11 in Galápagos.
They are one of the world's longest-living animals, with an average lifespan of 100 years or more. The Madagascar radiated tortoise Tu'i Malila was 188 at death in Tonga in 1965. Harriet (initially thought to be one of the three Galápagos tortoises brought back to England from Charles Darwin'sBeagle voyage but later shown to be from an island not even visited by Darwin) was reported by the Australia Zoo to be 176 years old when she died in 2006. Also, on 23 March 2006, an Aldabra Giant Tortoise named Adwaita died at Alipore Zoological Gardens in Kolkata. He was brought to the zoo in the 1870s from the estate of Lord Robert Clive and is thought to have been around 255 years old when he died. Around the time of its discovery, they were caught and killed for food in such large quantities that they became virtually extinct by 1900. The giant tortoise is now under strict conservation laws and is categorised as an endangered species.
Although the first giant tortoise was discovered in 1535, the species was not scientifically catalogued until the early 19th century; no one actually managed to bring even a sample of the tortoise back to England because they found it so delicious.[1] Most early accounts describe only the taste of the tortoises.[2]
How big can leopard frogs get?
Females can grow up to aout 8-10 in. long, and males can grow up to about 9-12 in. long.
How do you treat a red-ear slider respiratory infection?
Respiratory infections can cause lung and mouth pain. They need medical attention as soon as any symptoms (bubbles around nose or mouth, shallow breathing, lethargy) appear.
Depends on how you think "special" is. I think snails are special because....aren't they amazing? Can you imagine that it is an animal without a brain, but can eat, sleep, and drink fine just like a normal animal? Such simple creatures astound me as they mate, lay babies, and do stuff any smart animal should do without a brain! Their adaptation to have a shell is pretty smart too. So in my opinion, I think snails are a 'special' animal that is simple but amazing!
Do Eastern Hognose snakes make good pets?
Hognose snakes are a pretty docile species. Also - they don't grow very big (about 18 inches !)
How can you tell a boy snail or a girl snail?
Some snails have a shell that you can see through. The male has a white organ that the females don't have.
I am not a water snail expert, but first (obviously) I know that they are snails that live in water. These snails will dry up when they are outside of water, and when they escape, this usually means the water they are inside is dirty, so check your water quality if you are a water snail keeper. I sometimes call these water snails aquarium snails, the ones that are sold in petstores. There are Mystery snails and Apple snails in this column.
Yes, foxes do eat slugs as well as snails. The red fox is an omnivore, meaning it eats meat and vegetation. They like birds, small animals such as squirrels, berries, fruits, and crickets, among other things.
How often do you feed baby frogs?
I have the common frogs which are only a centimetre long as theyre froglets still. They find it difficult to eat large insects and can only eat things that can fit between their eyes. Ive been feeding mine aphids and spring/summer is the time to find them. If you find a maple leaf and turn it over, the leaf should have some aphids on it. :) good luck!

They live in Water and on land
Most of them live near water but some live in drier parts of the world.
Amphibians usually live near water, but still sometimes can live in the water.
What should the crested geckos weigh?
An adult female crested gecko is usually bigger than a male due to the calcium and fat reserves required to last the breeding season. During the mating season, females will usually cut down on the amount of feedings due to stress. A female is usually not fit to breed until 45+ grams. A male, who is not required to bear eggs, will only need to weigh in around 35+grams. Although males are smaller than females, the size comparison should not be too great of a difference. Much smaller males can sometimes be bullied or picked on.
There are seven types of sea turtle.
- flatback
- green
- hawksbill
- Kemp's Ridley

Can frogs live on land if the are born in water?
This is the question I want answered, they don't tend to because when the tadpoles hatch they will die because they need to live in water but I recently found some frog spawn lying on the grass in my garden, I don't think it was meant to be there though. Hope this help... :)

How often do baby turtles eat?
Baby turtles usually eat once every other day. Adult turtles eat about every day. if your turtle catches a disease you should change the water where the temperature is between 75f - 85f. After touching a turtle you should always wash your hands thoroughly in case your turtle has saminila. I hope this has helped you.
What is an cold blooded animal?
Cold Blooded just means that the animal is unable to maintain a constant body heat. Reptiles and other cold blooded animals need to be given some type of heat in order to maintain proper body function
How do you know the sex of the turtle eggs while not in hatch in different climates?
Many reptiles have the sex of the offspring determined by the temperature during incubation. There are variables, as one might expect. As a general question was asked, only a general answer can be provided.
Well, it depends on the type of tortoise you have. If you have a sulcata or leopard tortoise they can live in your backyard if you have a lot of room for them to roam. If you have a tropical tortoise like a red-footed tortoises you would need to put him either in a big tropical cage or in a tropical backyard.
Do terrapins live in cold water?
All I could find specifically about the Diamondback terrapin turtle and its habitat temperature is that bigger specimens tend to be found in warmer areas than those found in colder areas. The only consistent information I found was that they live in brackish (or slightly salty) water along rivers or in ponds and lakes of the United States.
