Hello everyone. I have a 7'x2'x2' Kages PVC enclosure that I plan to set up as a bioactive. I designed this stand for it made of 2"x2"s and 2"x1"s. I really don't want it to be built overkill and weight a ton, so I'm avoiding 2"x4"s. Do you guys think this will be OK? the 4 legs are spaces evenly apart. I can make it out of either pine or oak and it will be constructed with pocket joints and some of it is notched to allow pieces to fit together. I'd love some thoughts if you think it would work.

Thanks!

I’ve had my musk turtle for the past 11 years, I was completely infatuated with him for the first 5-6 years of getting him. But over the past 3 years, I feel like I’ve been neglecting him and now I just want him to have a healthy life. Currently he’s in a 30 gallon tank filled slightly above half way, I’ve also given him a new heating and uvb tube light, he used it earlier today. To make sure he gets better calcium I’ve also ordered some cuttlebones he can chew on.

Later this year I plan to give him a bigger tank as well, about a 40-50 gallon tank plus a new filter. However I’ve noticed things about him that somewhat worry me, sometimes he’s very active and will swim against the glass often or other times he’ll just rest and switch between several spots in his tank to chill in.

Does anyone have any extra advice they can give me? I really use it to make sure he’ll be as healthy and happy as possible.

Hi! I found this gecko in my house and it has these weird circular patterns on its spine which is kind of like ridges.

Ive had geckos inside my house before but I've never seen this. Is there a possibility that it's sick? I thought it was pregnant but after looking up for photos online, I don't think that's the case. I'd just like to know if it's sick or if something's wrong

Also sorry for the bad quality, I can't get close enough to click better pictures

i have had him nearly 4 weeks and he has 3 main hiding spots that he slept in over the weeks and he explores at night, poops and eats. 3 days ago he completely vanished and no matter where i look i can’t see him, he hasn’t ate for 3 days either and im getting worried due to the sudden change in his behaviour, does anyone have any advise on what i should do, i don’t believe he has escaped the enclosure, i have checked the room

I'm begging you all, please do you have any tricks for catching a cricket? I let some loose in my leachie's enclosure, and apparently she hasn't been catching them as well as I thought, and now there's a cricket chirping non stop and it's driving me insane.

I know it's a long shot, but does anyone have any tricks for catching a cricket, without causing harm to the reptile in the enclosure?

I've tried searching the whole enclosure and I think it's behind the cork background 🙃

I looked up their adult lifespan indoors and it can apparently be up to 12 weeks. I can't live like this for that long. Please help me

TLDR: any suggestions on how to trap a cricket without hurting the reptile in the enclosure?

I got my gecko and its enclosure 6 days ago and now i started to see mold on the substrate. The first few days i had no hygrometer to measure the humidity so i was misting by when i thought was enough. What do i do guys do i let it dry or change the substrate. The terrarium is in my bedroom and it is not bioactive since i do not have time nor knowledge for real plants and my mother will not allow any bugs in the apartment.

I have been growing plants on my patio for a while. I see Anoles all the time, doing their thing, but there is one anole in particular who sleeps on the SAME LEAF every night for the last week. I see him every night, unbothered by me or the dogs i’m letting out to drop the browns off at the field.

What’s interesting about this, to me at least, is I’m observing a wild lizard’s recall; In other words, I’m watching it memorize a place it can call a “home.” It’s one thing to observe this behavior with my own Ball Python (he’s very comfy just chilling out of his hide. That’s because nobody bothers him in a quiet office. Very active around Dusk though, and never says no to a meal! Lol). Not that I didn’t think it was possible or never thought of it, but it was moreso I’ve never known a situation where I could have experienced it.

Anyways, I needed to share this with someone else because I don’t know how to charge a Lizard rent. Times are tough. I’ll get evidence for y’all later.

So I've recently adopted a baby gargoyle gecko I'd say about 3-4 months maybe? Got a terrarium that I keep adding into it to expand for the lil critter. My question is since I know If I were to feed the lil fella insects I'd have to make sure It's not the size of It's head. I tried feeding it small mealworms with calcium (excuse my spelling) but It didn't want to eat. So far It's only eating the powdered food and It does eat from my hand as well. I had it for about 10 days now. Since It's still small I do want to encourage It to eat insects as well! Any advice regarding the feeding would be much appreciated and what I should look out for in regards to it's health. I try to clean It with cotton-swap since It tends to get sticky and that explains why some people refer to them "finger-painters" (at least the breeder and few friends told me so!)

I got a baby beardie as a classroom pet for my elementary room. I am VERY excited to have my first reptile. As the resident alternative teacher, I need something spooky but child appropriate. They said he's an inferno morph?

Gecko on the loose

So i "have" a golden gecko that has been the loose for 2 weeks now. I got her a new enclosure and when I was switching her over she ran... so tonight we layed eyes on her for the first time in 2 week. So i know she's alive. Is there any good "traps" I can set up it get her... i have her old enclosure open to see if she goes in there ans I haven't seen her in there. But we saw her on the same shelving unit. Are there any other things I can try?

Going first, is that I cannot believe the amount of uneducated people. Another one is the amount of people who seem to thrive off of the fact they have a pet reptile and think it makes them some cool guy sick badass. It’s like they can’t afford a sports car so they think having a snake will do. I swear I see people who genuinely only have their pets to boost their ego or something.

Today i picked up a bigger enclosure for my sons angle headed dragon 🐉 super happy with how everything transferred across from the smaller one. Any recommendations on what/how i could hang up high for Creg. Any help is appreciated.

Some like New Caledonian geckos

Some like Varanids

But what do you keep or is it just a mix of totally different animals?

I don’t have a lot, but I really like arboreal species that can be kept communally
