Southern part of Louisiana (Luling). Lots of green anoles and brown anoles in the backyard. I’ve never seen one like this before!

Was filling up my water bottle and getting ready as usual when I hea1sc11asrd some weird noise

Come to find out the bottle was spraying out the bottom all over my kitchen and could've easily electrocuted me

Now the bottle has a 2 inch crack along the bottom seal and is basically useless

Could I have any luck melting it back with a lighter or soldering torch on low?

Hey there. I need some advice!

I am 25, work full time, and still live at home. I get along super well with my parents and have 3 dogs of my own that they absolutely adore. My parents tell me all the time how they enjoy having me still at home and honestly, I couldn’t be more grateful! They let me do my own thing and treat me as an equal in the house.

I have wanted a reptile since I was little. I used to want a Bearded Dragon but after doing a lot of research I’ve realized that a Ball Python would be better suited for me and I generally like snakes better anyways.

I got a used terrarium off marketplace yesterday, which my mom helped me bring home and then she informed me after I’d brought it home, that she does not want a snake in the house. She said she isn’t afraid of snakes but doesn’t want one in the house. I think she is afraid it’ll escape. I have tried to tell her that BP’s are pretty docile and Beardies tend to be a more active reptile. It would be in my bedroom, which is in part of our house that is very rarely used by anyone but me anyways. It might as well not even exist to them. I told her I have about 2 months before the Pet Expo to convince them lol. I reminded her that they keep bringing up getting chickens, which I’m lowkey scared of but they will be getting them regardless and I’d have to be around them daily since they’ll free roam and I’m outdoors constantly. The snake will be out of sight out of mind. Plus, if I ever go away (which I usually only do once a year for a couple days) they won’t have to worry about caring for it for me since they don’t need food daily.

My mom also informed me that my dad doesn’t want me to get anything, but he also didn’t want me to get 2 of my dogs and now he spoils them rotten and spends every day with them… like my little dog is basically his at this point. He loves her more than anything. I’m not too worried about convincing him!

I don’t want advice like “it’s their house their rules” yeah, I know that. But it’s treated as OUR house and obviously if they freak out I won’t do it but I’d just like some advice on how I can convince them that snakes and reptiles in general aren’t evil or gross creatures.

I've had my bearded dragon (Loki) for about 4 years now. I feed him every day, give him baths weekly, and keep him in a 60 gallon tank with the proper lighting. I feel like I've been doing everything right yet he hasn't gotten as big as others his age. He still looks only a year old at best and I'm worried that he's stunted for some reason. He acts fine so maybe he's just a small dragon? If anyone has any ideas please let me know what could be wrong with him :(

This little fellow is maybe 3" tip to tail... I'm trying to determine if he's just living his best life on my back porch stoop, or lost.

A tegu of mine rushes the entrance almost every time I open the enclosure. My plan is to just handle her for a little bit after she does that to desensitize her to handling, and also hopefully so she knows not to rush the door.

My question is, does anyone have any experience with a tegu doing this? And what did you do to stop this behavior. I understand this is normal for some tegus.

Le han dado desparasita te, el análisis de heces sale todo correcto, temperatura bien, dieta equilibrada, pero no quiere cazar, ha perdido más de 10g y lo tengo que cebar con comida de gato, alguien me ayuda?

I've noticed this hobby has a pretty big markup on a lot of things you can find cheaper somewhere else (eg. substrate, plants, lights), and I've been trying to understand tube lighting so I can buy a cheaper fixture for my LED UV combo light. Do you guys think this will work with arcadia bulbs?

Looking for some suggestions on my new tank setup for a male Zebra Skink, I'm getting him Wednesday so I have some time to make little edits if needed. Tank is 36x18x18 with custom background, substrate made up of coco fiber that was left over from the background and top soil (terra firma from the bio dude) and a bag of reptisoil I got early on. Log is completely hollow and plenty wide enough for him to crawl through and use as a hide, log on right is actually ceramic made to look like a log. Plants are real and reptile safe. I have a long uvb tube and a few different lights I'm trying for the heat lamp so far I have a 50w halogen although I may up it or switch to thermal projector.

I have an old tank that is just sitting around I’m my attic. Can anything go in it? I was thinking isopods or a spider

this is about my crested gecko. i usually have him out for about under 30 mins a day. is this okay?? i see people say they usually only let their crestie out once a week but i’m doing at least 30 mins a day is this okay please let me know.

I've just upgraded my box turtle to a 90-gallon tank and now he has so much more room so I want to give him a bigger bath to splash in. I currently have an extra large zoo med repti ramp bowl. Any recommendations for bigger baths with a ramp?

Hi so I rescued a Chinese Water Dragon that had been neglected for 11 years. I have never had a reptile before but have tried my best to do right by this little girl. Today I found these two white egg shaped things in the water. What are they?!?! She has been behaving normally. She is by herself and has been her whole life. Should I be concerned?

my boyfriend said he looks like he’s got a couple morphs goin on. just wanted to show it off!

I really wanted to get a bearded dragon (a red and black one) online because the ones from pet smart always look very sick.

I found a website called Extreme Morph Exotic and I ended up purchasing the beardie I wanted but after I sent the money(i paid 280) he kept saying that he never received the money (which is weird bc I used Zelle and Zelle immediately sends the money) but he kept saying he didn’t receive it😭I called the bank twice to ask them why that would happen and they said that the money made it into the account

He then said that he’d still send the beardie but the company that’s shipping it is called Global national logistics but they are asking for an additional 100 dollars more for insurance or they’ll keep the beardie on hold (supposedly the bearded dragon is to come on the 17th of this week and if it is legit idk if he’ll even survive that long)

I’m really stressing out about this and was hoping I could get advice or if anyone has ordered from them 🥲

mental health is declining rapidly and I believe I will be homeless in a few weeks I desperately need to get my pets to someone who can take care of them. Two leopard geckos, one golden gecko, one tokay gecko, one bearded dragon, one ball python. Dm me if anyone knows what to do or wants them.
