Really? Well now I just feel silly. I've never seen a native roach that looks like this, though. Are native roaches sexually dimorphic? Where the females have the short little wings? If so, then I've only ever seen males before.
This morning I found what looks to me like an adult female dubia, struggling in my cat water bowl in my front yard. I scooped her out and brought her in the house. I figure I can keep her as a pet, but I'm a bit concerned as to why she was out there to begin with, and I need some information so...
try to hold the spider further away from the camera (its too close to focus properly), and use a macro setting if you have one (usually a little flower symbol). if the pictures are blurry, don't bother posting them, they won't tell us anything.
I have two patternless albino females. One was supposed to be a male, I wanted to try breeding, but he turned out to be a she, and so now I've just got the two girls. Eventually I may pick up a male if I feel the desire.
They are fun, but not my favorites. Neither is very handleable. They are...
I haven't had a whole lot of experience with hamsters. When I was a kid, someone gave us two male syrians. of course they fought, and so we gave one away immediately. after about three days of living in the garage (because my dad couldn't know about him- not even sure why my mom took him in...
Aww! I <3 desert tortoises!
My grandma called a few days ago, saying they were headed out to the desert to try to find one (just to take pictures of, of course!). It would be pretty cool to see one in the wild!
are they different genes, though? since albino is a recessive trait, if i were to breed a tremper with a bell, for example, would i get albino mutt babies, or would i get normal babies het for tremper and bell? this is my biggest concern.
Okay, so I have two female patternless albino leopard geckos. One was originally purchased as a male, because I was planning on breeding with my female. Well, he turned out to be a she, so I'm still looking for a male.
Problem is, how do I know what kind of albino they are? one is more yellow...
that first one was awful!
tarantulas won't drink from their water, but its important to maintain humidity. if it does want to drink, make sure there is a rock so it can't drown.
Okay, so which is it? make up your mind, lady!
and misting a rosie? poor thing.
I'm less of an artist and more of a crafter.
Here's a little something I came up with one day when I was bored. And for once, I wrote down the pattern as I made it so I could re-create it!
I had her in the back window of my car for awhile, along with a plastic B. smithi, and a beanie...
About three weeks ago, two of my rats got out. I caught one after four days, but the other one was loose until just after midnight this morning.
When I caught her, I put her back in her cage (which is now escape-proof), and noticed she was acting funny. At first I thought she was just sort of...
I came across that sugar-water ad yesterday, and was gonna post it here. Seriously, is the spider hypoglycemic or something? I'd love to know her logic for that. I can understand the rest due to improper advice from a pet store, but I can't even begin to fathom why anyone would think adding...
ballpython2- I agree that sometimes "unorthodox" methods work. That said, this thread is asking for recommendations for a beginner, and I feel it is irresponsible to recommend that a novice snake keeper keep a ball python with no heat, without going into detail on the special circumstances in...
Musk and poop are two very different things, though I've found they generally do poop while musking (at least in my experience) but they don't musk every time they poop.
Certain snakes (I've personally had it happen with king snakes, and corn/rat hybrids) release a very stinky, musky fluid...
My first snake was a ball python, though I'd had experience with other snakes before (mostly corns). Some people suggest them as beginner snakes, others warn about poor eating habits and such. As long as you get your enclosure set up and monitor temps and humidity for a few days before getting...
We ended up with a beagle. We took him in as a stray, couldn't find his home. Then he got out of our yard, and ended up in the shelter. So of course, we pulled him out and are most likely keeping him.
I went to the Aquarium of the Pacific last week, and took a lot of photos. Problem is, I was so busy running around with my camera, that I didn't even pay attention to what I was photographing! For those of you who know fish, I'd appreciate some IDs so that I can label the photos accordingly...
