Hello, I'm having trouble finding a good monitor forum so i figured a few people on here must keep some. i recently got a Savannah monitor. He's really awesome! About a foot long and eating pretty good. He's eating crickets right now and about 14" long. I'm just wondering if it's time to start...

I just got a Forest Hingeback for my birthday! Courtesy of my girlfriend :) I just had some questions as far as the set-up. I understand they are from tropical African forests. So i'm assuming that means high humidity and temp. He/she (I'll post pictures so you can help me sex) is currently in a...

Does anyone know of a site that contains any info on Russian tortoises in the wild? Pictures? info on their natural habitat? I haven't been able to find much.

I'm going to be getting a painted turtle from my uncle a little later this evening. So I need some setup ideas. I have an empty 20g aquarium right now that i can put him in. I'm assuming i'll need a water filter as well. What does the water temp need to be? Basking spot temp? What does they're...

Hi guys! Another cool picture my girlfriend took :)

Just got a Nigerian Uromastyx today! He's awesome! Here's pics of him in his enclosure! (Which still needs some furnishing) Here's his enclosure, I'm gonna probably throw some sand in there and hide spots.

This is probably a stupid question. I read that russians can benefit from as little as a few weeks of hibernation. Right now it's too cold here in Ohio to put them outside yet. It will probably be warm enough in a month or so. I was wondering if I could do a short hibernation period to encourage...

My new redfoot is about 12 weeks old, should I be rotating protein such as cat food in occasionally at this point? or is he too young? my diet rotation will consist of greens on Monday Wednesday Friday, fruit on Tuesday Thursday, greens again Saturday and cat food on Sunday. calcium supp 3 times...

I've been following this care sheet http://www.turtletary.com/redfootcare.htm It's been recommended tome by a few people and seems to make sense, The only thing I really don't understand is why a redfoot doesn't require UVB. I've even heard people say that it's bad for them. I'm not saying I...

Hi guys! I bought a baby redfoot today from a local reptile breeding store! I'll post pictures tomorrow but i have a few questions, particularly about diet. At the store they told me to feed greens such as kale, collards, turnips, mustard etc....(same as my Russians) with the addition of protein...

hey everyone. I've decided that the most efficient and space saving way to house several reptile species would be a reptile rack or some sort. I've got a few ideas. I was thinking of building one. I also was looking at this: metal shelving So I was wondering if anyone on here uses a rack and...

Ever Since I moved my female into my male's enclosure they have gotten along very well. This is primarily because my male hasn't been very interested in the female. But my female on the other hand has been interested in the male the entire time. She follows him around, lays with him and eats...
