    Rats detecting land mines

    These are pouched rats. They're also used to detect tuberculosis, as well as last I heard, being trained to find survivors in disaster zones while equipped with cameras. I used to own one many years back, and he was by far the best pet I've ever had. He was also far more intelligent than I...

    Tegu eggs

    My argentine tegu girl laid 44 eggs, and most looked good. Day six and it looks like most were actually infertile, 4 are definitely fertile, and 4 are questionable (there's something going on in there, just not sure what exactly). Anyway, day 6 candle:

    My new dart frogs

    made a 10 gallon into a dart frog enclosure... I saw these two at a reptile show and after much debating with husband over the phone, wound up bringing them home. They're always out, active, and freaking cute as crap. Local breeder, I've seen them around at local shows a few times now, but...

    How to get rare herps for free!

    I wound up with a tiny northern ring neck snake by shopping at a Salvation Army. They found it, were screaming, and one worker put it in a glass container, and I brought it home! ---------- Post added 03-31-2015 at 02:19 PM ---------- I've tried that, all the pet stores here throw...

    Because Tegus

    Grunt needs his nails clipped, I know. Both are towards the end of their shedding. The cage is a 10 x 4 x 4 custom built boamaster. I was considering doing a fake rock background, or something like that, similar to how I decorate all my reptile and tarantula enclosures, but now I'm...

    Because Tegus

    A little story that happened today: I gave some chopped up fruit to Grunt, the younger of the two tegus (and the only one who willingly will eat food OTHER than whole prey.... my girl was raised on live and took a while just to get her to eat F/T) and Bakara of course snubbed her nose at it...

    Because Tegus

    This is my adult female, Bakara, I adopted over a year ago. I also adopted a second tegu a few months ago I've named Grunt. The two are awesome... ....That is all.

    Petco Sued After Child Dies From Infected Rat

    I just want to know how it progressed THAT fast. I am speaking as someone with personal experience with RBF and a history of a weaker immune system. Also had epiglottitis as a child, and a few other things I've been hospitalized for and have scars as a result. Epiglottitis progressed fast...

    Petco Sued After Child Dies From Infected Rat

    Do I dare reply to this? I had streptobacillary fever in college.... my mother was on vacation at the time, and I was bad off by the time she returned. I was hospitalized over a week, had two disease experts from out of state working on me, and many months later I was still having...

    Potty training your cat

    Pretty much. My african pouched rat toilet trained video went up to something like 600,000 views in a short amount of time. Hasn't budged much since, that was years ago. I wish I could train mother-in-law's two cats to even use a litter box, much less a toilet.

    Baby animals that are cute but become ugly adults

    An adult, well cared for iguana is amazing looking and majestic. I'd still never own one, I don't think I could care for one properly. I don't know, a lot of animals are cute as babies, but I'm more impressed with the adults. Especially with animals that take a very long time to grow up...

    Next big thing in the reptile hobby?

    I have some albino and het albino western hogs that'll be ready to breed this season, once they're out of brumation. I've definitely seen them more and more at shows lately. Also, crested geckos are EVERYWHERE here in Baltimore (as are ball pythons of course....). Last show I went to there...

    Centipedes and mesh tops

    This isn't the mesh from a zilla cage, but this is the 1/4" galvanized hardware mesh I wrap around my ferret nation cage to keep my smaller rats in. This is what extremely industrious little rat girls can do when they set their mind to it. Yes, cage needed cleaning in the pic, I had to...
