    When Sand Works!

    Tom, I am curious. Have you ever kept bearded dragons? Have you had impaction problems with sand specifically with bearded dragons? I do not know anyone who has had a problem with sand and bearded dragons...I know some of the best bearded dragon breeders in the world. When have you proven that...

    When Sand Works!

    I did, I’m very sorry about that, I just had to get it out and I did so in the wrong way. I’m a boy, I’m 11, and I do pay for everything and do everything whether it’s hauling 200 pounds of rocks for my fish or just cleaning a cage. :)

    When Sand Works!

    I’m not closing my mind, I think I went over board a little and I’m very sorry about that. I respect every way people raise their pets, as long as it’s humane. I’m just saying, this works for me here because any other substrate, no matter how much water I put in it, becomes very dusty. I’m open...

    When Sand Works!

    This thread was intended for lizard species not tortoises. The only reason sand would impact a reptile is if it is not getting enough minerals or water. Without the proper minerals, bearded dragons would eat the soil in the wild. A small amount of sand won’t impact an animal if it is hydrated...

    When Sand Works!

    When washed play sand is bought at a garden center where it was kept outdoors, it is OK! Why? Because the play sand absorbs the moisture from the air, it becomes clay-like. If you pat it down on the bottom of the tank, the sand sticks and dries rock like for a perfect, non-impacting substrate...

    Blake’s exotic animal ranch, blue tort?

    Can you post a link to the video you saw that in? I didn’t see it. All I know is Blake didn’t try to make this animal, but he still deserves to experience the beauty.

    In search of a young chameleon

    My sister really wants one and can care for it, but she doesn’t want me to spend so much money for it. She knows that it will cost a lot of money to maintain

    In search of a young chameleon

    I am looking to get my sister a chameleon for her birthday, but I need it to be under $50. If someone knows a place, let me know! (P.S.- I am paying, so I need someone who can take cash not from PayPal or a card)

    Free Roaming Frog?

    Good point...I worded it wrong. I meant if I payed plants out and stuff where he could hide, would he be fine if he ventured out.

    Free Roaming Frog?

    Hey everyone... I just bought a new plant a couple of days ago, and now I woke up to a tree frog croaking on my wall! I’m guessing he’s a hitchhiker from the Florida keys. But here’s my question- is it OK to let a Cuban tree frog roam free in your room and let it eat the native population of...

    Western Dwarf Hermann Information?

    I’m not too sure about brumation, but the only reason you have not found much resources is because there is no such thing as a western dwarf tortoise!

    Hello, thank you for taking him in! Kamp Kenan in south Florida would probably be more than glad to take him. Though you do have a good point, I disagree with part. I am a child, but I know much more than most adults do. I am in contact with the most famous bird breeder in the world. Although I...

    Bearded Dragon Substrate *URGENT*

    [Copied from Beardeddragonforum.org, starting below] _____ HI, everyone! I just rescued a beardie with MBD. I’m using aspen now, but I don’t like it. I don’t want to use tile or newspaper or paper towels. He can’t lift his cloaca off the ground, so NO SAND! Would alfalfa pellets, Sani-chips...

    I don't get it......hydration

    I definitely agree with you that there is only a sense of the wild, only the wild can provide. I do question whether tortoises are “happy” in our care or would rather leave us in the dust. But we’ll never know, or at least my tortoise isn’t talking soon.

    Aquarium Heaters?

    PPHFFF...that was the best sentence I’ve heard all day. It also explains the answer of the question

    I don't get it......hydration

    How I think of it is, although the burrows in the wild are probably not at 80% humidity, and they’re not soaking daily, they’re not eating spring mixes in the America’s in a glass tank. And there is a reason that most animals in the wild have shorter life spans than in captivity.

    What type of turtle is this

    Awwww he’s so cute! For foods, most picky-green-eaters go for duckweed. It’s not the most nutritious, but it it will give him some natural activity. You can also put guppies or ghost shrimp in for him to chase around.
