    Does the size of the hide matter for a hatchling?

    Ideas for an outdoor tegu enclosure

    Yeah I wish we still had Bert with us. By the time I found out about his existence he had already passed :(. I'm thinking I may buy a few of his books as well as "The Lizard King". I've seen some pictures of his collection and it looked amazing. I really wish I could have met him while he was...

    What turtle should I get?

    What turtle should I get?

    What turtle should I get?

    From what I've read about Mata matas is they need a 5x5, which I can provide. However, they seem far to advanced for a newcomer. The three striped muds get about 4 inches so I'm assuming a massive enclosure is not needed, though I would give as much as I could.

    That's what I figured about Mata matas. Something that looks so awesome couldn't be easy. What about the three striped muds?
