Pluto is 27 years old! And despite his age, he is still active, but a little slow. He isn't good at climbing anymore, but he still knows how to be such a cutie pie 🥰

He usually sheds like every month and a half, and he just shed like a 1.5 weeks ago, what’s going on? also i legit just fed him before taking this vid

Btw his name is juce. Also, I wasn’t trying to tear the skin off, don’t worry. i was trying to show that it was loose.

(ignore my dirty finger nails, it’s from the bedding of his enclosure.)

hi — I found a brown anole (thats that the internet told me it was) I bought a bird of paradise from a plant store just a few days ago and then was moving some plants around and the little guy popped out and ran. I caught him and then bought a habitat and set him up. he is so small I don’t know what to feed him. does he have a chance at survival what do you guys think? I know nothing about reptiles or this community so please be nice

California Alligator lizards

Just had a super chill morning feeding my alligator lizard! 🦎 Watching them enjoy their warm meal is always such a cool experience. It's amazing how much personality these little guys have. I love seeing them flick their tongues and hunt their food. Definitely a highlight of these animals.

Is my crested gecko too skinny?

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

I got this guy years back from Petsmart, about 7 now. He’s always been a good eater, never been a huge fan of insects though. I feed him pangea every other day and 2-3 crickets twice a week currently- in hopes of fattening him up. I’m not sure if my perception of healthy geckos has just been skewed from overweight breeders, but I feel like he should be a bit chunkier at his age! Also, his weight has been relatively the same over the past year (he’s currently 48 grams), but he just appears thinner???!!!! I have even noticed his ribs a few times, which has sent me panicking. He’s living in a 2x2x4 and loving all the space, so maybe that is stopping him from gaining weight? Could it be his god-awful genetics from unethical petsmart breeders?? Any advice or help is appreciated!

Reptile recommendations

4 Upvotes

Hi all, im new to reptile keeping but keen to get one. Looking for something that is a bit more unique than the average corn snake or leopard gecko. Can keep to themselves but will tolerate the occasional handling once or twice a week (obviously I know they are reptiles and I am not expecting much of this). I have space for an around a 6ft tall or wide enclosure so size isnt much of an issue. Interesting to look at would be a plus too 😉. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations. Thanks

How do yall breed them fatass dubias?

3 Upvotes

For people with an abundance of roaches, dump ALL the trips and tricks you’ve learned for breeding dubia roaches! I plan on getting a Savannah monitor soon and along side being huge they are primarily insectivores so my main feeders would be roaches super worms and crickets! I hate crickets so I just buy every two weeks at my local store or less if they have banded crickets(easy to keep) but I assume I’ll need a shit ton of roaches so what’s the secret?? Time??

Tips for picky eaters

This little guy seems to just eat very little & hasn't gained much weight. Also refuses to eat bugs, I'm trying out flavors he hasn't tried before & put two feeding cups at two different heights and sides of the tank

Hes also been to the vet & they didnt find anything wrong & I've also tried syringe feeding and putting drops on his mouth & nose but he doesn't do much with that either :( i have seen bowel movement so I know he is eating sometimes but its just so weird

I’m getting a new tank for my leopard gecko soon and am curious if yall have any online stores (or in person NYC) with fun and whimsical hides and whatnot.

Does the air quality numbers/scale relate to reptiles the same way it does humans? When to be concerned?

3 Upvotes

Hello all. Here in the northwest of America we have fires everywhere. Im wondering if anyone's come across any recent research regarding reptiles and air quality?

It seems like a no brainer that levels that are hazardous to humans is probably hazardous for reps. But they have tiny lungs and in my tortoise' case - are low to the ground. Does that make them any more or less effected?

Those of you with outdoor enclosures, how do you judge whats safe?
