    Crested gecko escape

    Remember that they love to hide and looking for them during the day will just make it that much harder for you. They're active at night so you'll have a better chance of seeing them then. Also be sure you're looking high up too. They'll probably find hiding spots pretty quickly if there are...

    Monitors?

    Try posting in the Canada Forum. If there isn't someone that breeds them there'll be someone that knows someone.

    More great lessons from Fox News...

    More great lessons on Burmese Pythons from Fox News... "30K Burmese pythons on the loose in South Florida..." I hate how people actually believe the junk aired on that network. They seem to be trying harder and harder to be the tabloid of TV. This was first brought to my attention on...

    Even if you don't like lizards:

    BEAUTIFUL monitors! I've always loved monitors but never owned one because of space. I'd love to see an adult setup for one of these sometime though!

    Deconstructing A Myth: BP/Boa

    It's amazing what the uneducated mind will believe. The worlds shark population is QUICKLY diminishing and there aren't too many countries out there that are trying to stop this from happening simply because the uneducated mind believes that a shark would kill you at the first opportunity. It...

    Deconstructing A Myth: BP/Boa

    Thanks! I knew it was complete bull but knowing that the tale has spread far and wide puts the final nail in the coffin. 2 people owe me drinks!

    Deconstructing A Myth: BP/Boa

    So I just heard a story from a 4th person. None of these people know each other so the chances of them ALL knowing the same person is pretty much nil. I'd love to hear that other people from across the country (or in another country!) have heard this same story and that it's a complete myth...

    gut loading crickets and roaches

    I pretty much use the same mixed greens I feed to my bearded dragon and a little bit of dry catfood but minimal. It's already been said but I'll back up the point that you want the crickets hydrated well. The only other thing I've used is bits of carrots. There's "cricket food" sold which is...

    What to do in case of a stuck molt

    Dont break off any parts of any legs. You'd probably end up killing it. Just raise the humidity in the tank....maybe spray it down with some warm water and then just leave it. The only time I had a T molt upright it was fine. The main thing is to be able to identify when a T is in pre-molt...

    Exo Terra vs Zoo med

    I've got an exo terra for my P.regalis and it's great! The one thing is the little space between the foam and the top that is a great place for crickets to hide but a piece of clean cardboard on there fixes that problem. If you're thinking about saving money then just get a critter keeper...

    Dealing with defensive T's

    Deli cups are our friends! Also I always have everything in my bathtub when I'm working with a more skittish species so that if it does escape it isn't really going anywhere too fast. And if it goes into a threat pose, it just means its easier to get the entire thing into a deli cup...

    Book - The Tarantula Keeper's Guide

    Get the book if you're serious about doing a good job with the hobby. Lurking the boards is always helpful but having a reliable source for info is invaluable. You're also looking at a lot of OPINIONS on here as well and sometimes they conflict with what others say and sometimes they're just...

    force feeding a gecko

    Reinforcing points, make sure you quarantine and if you dont get your hands on the formula then try mashing up mealworms and doing the same thing with whatever mush you get from there. Also, HYDRATE! WATER! Try giving it a couple soaks in warm water so it can ingest some water. A...

    "Dangerous" dog breeds

    Valid point, but PLEASE....grammar, punctuation. I think I got a brain tumor reading this. Anyways...my Mom decided an American Cocker Spaniel was the dog to get when I was about 10 years old. That dog bit everyone in the family along with anyone else he could get his teeth on. I loved and...

    Pics from Work

    That looks like a blast! Must be some good times at work. My work shirt actually says "Zookeeper" on it....but I'm a bouncer at a club. The name still fits quite well but I'm sure it isn't nearly as fun.

    Giant whiteknee tarantula

    Wouldn't handle mine unless I had to. With that in mind I wouldn't give her up unless I had to either! Great spider!
