We were staying in a hotel downtown. I guess I should have walked around the building at night looking for them but wasn't sure how that would look. My kids and I found around 10 Suriname roaches while digging through our rabbit pellet compost pile. I kept them for a week but didn't find any...

We have some of those rough areas around here. River rat is a common term and they come out into society occasionally. We're looking for a house right now and some really nice houses are in areas I don't want to live. I'm not looking at junk cars while a one eyed dog barks at me every day. I...

I despise cookie cutter subdivisions where you can hear your neighbor fart the houses are so close. I've hunted bugs and reptiles my whole life and it's always fun no matter what I find. My kids are suspicious now when I tell them to grab something. I got two of them on different occasions to...

I've lived in the area for years and have never seen a scorpion. I honestly thought they were all in West Texas. I've read some of your older posts about finding 30+ and wish I could come across that many. Which national forest? I was thinking about trying Livingston but don't want to make that...

Will someone point me to a good place to find C. vittatus in East Texas? I'm in Liberty and looking for somewhere within 1-2 hours from me. I went to San Antonio and struck out on the one day I had to look for them and won't be going back any time soon. If there's a place that also has decent...

When I made one for a gecko I used Drylock waterproof paint right on the foam. I did one white base coat and then tinted the second coat tan. Its another option instead of the grout and paint. I paid a few dollars for three colors of tint from Sherwin Williams. They took it from their machine...

-Family threatens you with a can of raid. (Happened to many times to count.) -You're the only one in the room who doesn't notice the smell when you open the roach bin. (Lateralis) -Your wife hands you Walmart bags of empty containers and says "Get these out of my ___ kitchen ". -You go into a...

Once she helps me finish off the cheese balls my regalis will be calling this home. I'll be buying more of these for sure, good junk food and a big container to boot. Can't beat it. Oh and I got it from Walmart.

I've had my aproximately 3" C. crawshayi (or whatever its being called now) for 2 years with no molt and I don't know when it molted before I got it. I sifted through the substrate everytime I changed it and didn't find any exoskeleton.

I know you said you'd rather not build but if you do go with a carpenter this page has links to free diy cage designs that can be tweaked to your specific needs. Hope it helps. http://www.discountreptilecages.com/

I worked at a petsmart in Texas for a bit and it was kept clean but we constantly had animals in icu. It was mostly hamsters and birds, which I now have a strong dislike for because of dealing with their viscous little butts so much. We had the occasional reptile or fish in icu but the girl that...

He's a good looking snake. I put up pics of my leucy the other day. Now we just have to wait for them to grow into big beautiful adults, hopefully without all the attitude. Mine is sucking down 3 small pinkies every other week and still looking for more. I'm gonna switch him to fuzzies after I...

My leucy black rat does the same thing. He pulls back into an s with that tail going 90 to nothing and its pretty cool to see. Mine only gets defensive in his tank so I just use a small homeade snake hook (wire coat hanger wrapped in blue electrical tape) to get him out without too much of a...

More pictures. I thought by leaving him on his log that he'd calm down some but I was wrong. So I ended up with a bunch of blurry pics and these few ok pics. He's only bit me twice. Once the day I got him or the day after and the second was two weeks or so after that...

Yea he's shed since the expo. I want to get another and breed once I have the room and this one is big enough. That should be a few years though. There were some leucy texas rats too but they keep a pinkish color even as adults and are also really prone to bug eyes without careful breeding. I...

I bought him from the New Orleans expo in June. I forgot to have it sexed so no name yet. Pretty much the only time I see him is when I take him out to feed or handle, otherwise he's hiding. Hopefully the hiding will lessen to some degree as he grows. No bug eyes here. I know...

I was typing and didn't see you'd already figured it out. Using a phone on here sucks sometimes... oh well.

I just had to send off my mm P. murinus not long ago and he is nuts. I told my wife as I walked into the bathroom with him that I just knew he was gonna tag me. He didn't get me luckily. I did holler real loud and made my wife run to the door and ask if I was ok (she wouldn't open the door to...

The Walmart here sells puppy formula. Not sure of the exact cost but it isn't exactly cheap. I see you've been reading but make sure you rub his privates with a warm soft rag so that he will relieve himself. Try pet stores to bring him to. The one here takes in all kinds of animals and rehabs...
