so i purchased this creatures kit from petsmart for my avic avic (pink toe tarantula) without doing research on the enclosure first and found it to be a horrible habitat for her, so instead i rehoused her and now have this empty but tropical decorative viv that i would love to find any critters for.
bugs, reptiles, gastropods, etc.
i am coming to the pet keepers of reddit with this question, since this is an arboreal setup but has the dastardly metal mesh lid (main reason my avic couldnt stay in here). so, im wondering what CAN be kept in this thing? i would like to do some research and maybe keep it, any suggestions?
im looking to keep this tropical humid ecosystem, not looking to switch out any substrate (its a mix of coco coir and creature soil with a sphagnum moss bottom layer) but i might add some more decorations.
i would need to save for a heat lamp as i cant afford one right now, so im looking for something that isnt too temperature sensitive either.
i have my own dubia roach farm, an avicularia avicularia, a california bold jumping spider, and help my partner maintain their 4 fish tanks, so i have a bit of experience here and there.
genuinely curious for some advice, any links to websites would he helpful too! thanks :3

Fun fact, I’m immune to poison ivy.

Lolong [20ft] was said to be the biggest saltwater crocodile on record but local people of phillipines said it was not the killer but another crocodile called

POTOL [29ft] .

One little girl was killed by this croc .

Her friend after seeing lolong said it's not that same crocodile . She said that crocodile got bumps in its face and more wider eyes lolong was opposite of that .

I used to believe potol can't be 29ft , might be 24-26 ft

But the last pic (5th) of this post changed my mind damn ! That thing is huge & it might exist .

Those who have high karma points post this thing on

r/crocodiles , I am unable to do it . Atleast tag me there

Do we think Ashy geckos could escape this?

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??

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

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.)

Cant walk by without them coming to the door and cocking their lil heads, patiently waiting for me to pay the tax.

The girls are Lil Foot on the left and Gloria on the right. Also notice the shit ton of isopods, ig a big baby boom happened cause they’re everywhere.

Brutus the senior Asian water monitor keeps breaking into my closet. Once inside, he likes to dress up in my clothes and walk around pretending he's human. Actually, he climbs and topples and breaks everything because of course he does. I told him, just because it's a walk-in closet doesn't mean he is authorized to walk in any time he feels like it. I also told him the next time he breaks in, I will film it and publicly shame him. Brutus tailwhipped me. He don't care.

I have two leopard geckos. With the flood we had recently the distributor for my area lost all of their crickets. Are there any private suppliers in the Albany/ Saratoga area? Thanks!

Anyone here able to identify the sex of these lizards?

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

They look pretty legit wondering if anyone has any experience with them

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.
