I love these, shame we hardly ever see them here in the U.K. Can anyone tell me a bit about their temperaments, and give me a point of comparison? E.g., are they as docile as a B.albo or pyschotic as an H.lividum? Would love to know as I adore colourful Ts but am still quite new to the hobby...

So far in my time in surgery: Calci-sand deaths - 58 leopard geckos, 22 beardies, 2 iguanas and 1 baby blue tounge skink. Walnut/corn granule deaths - 41 beardies, 8 leopard geckos, 3 baby corns Those are just a few of my computerised records, I'm sure the other vets I work with have...

Its a phenomenon that evolved in many animals as a safty mechanism. For example, womens' (and other mammalian females') cycles will start to synchronise after they've spent a certain amount of time together due to the pheremones they give off - it is within the species best interest if all the...

The pinkie pump is a valuble bit of kit for saving lives if used correctly. Disgusting though it is, the best method is to get a bowlful of defrosted pinkies (or rat pups) and whizz them into a 'soup' using a handheld blender (get a cheap one just for this job, DO NOT use your regular one from...

I seem to vaguely recall a paragraph in the T keepers guide about how T's salivate/produce additional digestive fluids through the uppermost joints of their legs? Could be the answer, but have a read through the section on digestive anatomy to be sure.

I recently gave my 4" Rosea half a plastic flowerpot to use as a hide and she threw such a wobbly at it! Half an hour after putting it in she was bodily hefting it around the tank trying to roll it over and stomping on it. It ended up on its end stuffed into the furthest corner of the tank.

If this is going to be your first snake, I'd say scrap the whole Ball Python idea and look for a corn snake. They are so easy to care for that its pretty difficult to get it wrong, plus they are generally less expensive, easily available and come in loads of cool colour morphs. Once you've...

Nice job! Beautiful looking Mum as well! :clap:

Wow, thats a stunning frog. Looks like its had a crazy 80's paintjob done on it.

Cute little Uro. Just one question - Does he have UV? Can't actually see a UV tube in the pic.

Depends on many factors such as sex, feeding regime, husbandry and genetics. My smallest female has just matured at 3 years and 3 feet long, but her small size is down to genetics - both her parents were particularly small adults. I'd say on average, with environmental conditions being...

Calm down. Its whats generally known as 'a joke'. Thats a very cute looking little Rosea you've got there, nice and plump. It may just be the camera but judging by its colours it may be due for a shed soon, as most Roseas often have pretty metalic sheens of pink or copper. As for sexing, your...

I've just got a 1 inch b.emilia and she already has full adult colouration - stunning.:}

Actually the ink contains a mild antiseptic agent, which is why newspaper is so good for reptiles recovering from surgery. You don't really think the newspaper companies would get away with selling millions of potentially 'poisonous' papers everyday do you?:D

Golden Rule for housing anoles - Never house more than one male together. These are extremely territorial little lizards and will fight ferociously until either one is killed or they both die of stress and exhaustion. Sexing anoles is easy - females have cream or white stripes running down their...

Firstly, are you sure you have both males and females? Males are larger with brightly coloured dewlaps while females have a distinctive white or cream stripe running down their spines. Secondly, how did you find the egg and what does it look like? If the egg fell from some foliage it will be...

Is there any possibility that your T's have been exposed to a chemical agent or desicant? Have you recently used any kind of household or cleaning product in the same room as you keep your T's in?
