pet trade

I have a 44 gallon viv and I'm not sure what I'd like to put in it, I've only considered putting a snake in it now. By no means is the viv. ready to be inhabited, so I have plenty of time to research what ever species may be suggested. I'm looking for a smaller breed, as I would rather not have...

Well my boyfriends really intrested in getting a snake but we dont have any experiance with them so im wondering if you's could answer a few questions .. What type of breed for his first time snake ? What type and what size of tank would it need to be in ? What would that snake eat ? And do...

Recently this has come up and trying to be polite I didn't want to take over someone else's thread to discuss it. Funny thing is I never thought this would come up on a forum of mice\rat lovers but hey stranger things have happened! First off let me say I am not in ANY way against snakes or...

I am thinking of getting 1 tadpole, I think a bullfrog tadpole, how big of a tank will I need for 1 adult when it gets bigger. I know I need a semi-aquatic tank.

Fish For Beginners To Avoid Unfortunately, there are many fish sold to beginners that really aren’t good beginner fish at all. Some of these fish are difficult for even the most experienced aquarist to care for! In this guide I hope to talk about some of these fish and debunk the myths...

my friend has good intentions, but just doesn't seem to think things through. A few months ago, she saw that the local dollar store was selling baby RES turtles, and felt sorry for them, so bought one. She's been keeping the little guy in a bowl (a large food bowl) with a rock in the center so...

I have had this iguana for just about a week. I woke up the other morning, went to his tank, and found that he has a terrible-looking lump on his lower back. It looks twisted and he cannot seem to move one leg very well. I have taken very good care of him so far. I don't know if he fell off...

Does anyone know anything about a alligator snapping turtle? I have looked at several websites and all of them have said it was safe to keep red ear sliders and them together. I also called the local zoo and they said as long as there wasnt a huge size difference it would be fine. I just...

I was just wondering if anyone can get me some info on Dwarf Pufferfish I was in another thread on here talking about moving my goldfish out of its current home and into something larger. There might be a possibility that in the near future I will have to upgrade yet again to another tank size...

I am wondering if there is a species of fish that are scavengers and will eat fish poop.Gross I know. I was thinking this,because I have goldfish and they are quite messy fish in general.It would be neat to have a scavenger fish that could live with the goldies and would eat poop...it would...

After water changes Big Red is always especially active so I took a few pictures. They are really bad but oh well. Moving his stuff back to where it was, lol: Checking to make sure nothing else was moved: I have to get him a bigger shell soon as he's molted a few times and is probably...

Last night I got a new hamster. I guess I missed having a little rodent :). He's a male (or at least that's what I was told...I'll be checking him myself when he's used to me) and I ended up getting him from a petstore. I usually rescue so I feel kinda bad but there aren't any hamsters around...

I think I might be getting a black syrian hamster as early as this coming week! My brother is an hockey player & he's playing for the Confederation Cup again this year in St.John's. We are short on cash,so my parents& brother will be getting a loan from family & I can't afford at all :lol: So I...

I work at the Alaska Zoo and part of my job is feeding our male Ball Python. He was captured in the wild for the pet trade and donated to the zoo for educational purposes. So he is extremely picky! He only likes brown or black mice. I have been having trouble lately with heating up the mice...
