I’ll bro took a huge shit on my hand after this pic

Hello! I found some saurodactylus harrissi And brosetti in Morocco And I need help with their identification. They're so little I can't see their genitals… like maybe but I'm not sure. Are there aby other ways to fing out?

For some context, my tortoise (Tony) wasn't eating for a while so my mum took him to the vet for check up, this was also due to his lack of nutriets that he is consuming. He would always gobble down leafs of lettuce with all his dietary needs like its nothing, but when he stopped eating we just started giving him lettuce by itself, his favourite thing to eat, but he completly ignored it. When I got home from school my mum told me that he was being drip feed and force feed and staying the night at the vet becuase of his condition and she is really worried. I have spent the last hour crying and tried to revise for a big maths test but I gave up, and now I am slumped on the sofa trying to get my mind of off Tony with football and Pokemon but I cant stop thinking about him and I'm a bit depressed because of the current state of Tony.

Thanks for reading this far, I just wanted to let all my emotions out.

Recently I've been in the mood to get a new reptile and I don't know if I want to get a pacman frog or a long tailed lizard. Both seem extremely cool to have but I'm leaning a bit on the lizard side because I actually want a pet that I can hold and will run around instead of a frog that just sits there all day like a rock. But everytime I come to a conclusion I always think about the other one and then I'm like "oh that's pretty cool" and then I'm back to thinking about both of them. What do you guys think? I mean there has to be a reason pacman frogs are more expensive than the lizard.

It is a House, Mediterranean, or Tropical Gecko.

No Further Statement.

I want to get some kind of reptile and I like lizards and snakes and I want to know which one is better for starters and is relatively low maintenance

He is about 5 months but I recently started giving him hornworms to diverse his diet because all I feed him is crickets and now he is a lot more round (this is my first reptile and I’m trying to help him live to his fullest)

I have a 2x2x4 from when I owned a bearded dragon. He passed in August and I’m at the point where I’m ready to care for a new baby. What would be the absolute best way to completely clean the tank, but without any chemicals to hurt the new guy? I haven’t decided what I’ll adopt next, but I want the tank to be fully prepared in advance. The beardie was sick (I don’t know what with) so I still want to take away anything that could get a new reptile sick. Any tips?

The main question: my crested gecko is well past her life expectancy - how would I ever really know she was suffering?

History: She had severe metabolic bone disease when we got her. Shes pretty deformed and smaller than she should be. We were told by 2 people at a reptile expo that her life expectancy should be about 10yrs (half what it should be). It’s now about 14 years that we’ve had her. Somewhere along the way she had a prolapse and it was surgically repaired. Shes been “fine” since. Terrible cricket hunter so she gets calcium. Her whole life, she’s never really been all that active. It’s always been that seeing her eat or move around is a treat, and she eats so little of her mixture that it’s not really detectable. So it’s always been super hard to monitor her. Though she’s alive and she poops and sheds, so? A friend randomly asked me if I’d ever put her down and honestly I feel awful to admit that the thought never crossed my mind. Of course I’m not against it for a suffering animal. We have a cat and dog too, and it wouldn’t be a question that’s what we’d do when they reach the end of their roads. But how would I know if she was? The past few years she does sometimes need help with her shed on her tail and feet, and her color is a bit different over the years… but that’s really all I’ve noticed. So I guess I’m wondering how would I ever really know it was her time? Is it possible it already is? Or am I super overthinking this and I should just let her live her best ancient life?

I want a reptile and I don't know what I want and I want something for a starter and is cheap and low maintaince, do you have any recommendations?

More of a general question, but putting a coconut in my tank with my musk turtles, isn’t toxic at all right also, does anybody have a good way to get the calcium off the glass?

How do you guys track feeds/sheds? I’ve got an app but it can only say how much was fed last feeding and doesn’t keep track past that. Alerts to feed are also like three days late.

Hey all, Id like the set up a paludarium with fish on the bottom and lizard on top. One thing I a got to thinking about is if its possible that any fish diseases/parasites could spread to lizards if they swim in the water or eat the fish?

Hello!

I searched the web and even this forum for some information on this, but I couldn't find what I was looking for.

I am looking to purchase a baby female bearded dragon, I'd def rather not go to a pet store, because I hate supporting the way they treat animals, but I can't find any expo's near me. I also don't travel well due to a disability anyway, so it's not worth it to go to another city.

Are there perhaps any reputable breeders who I can buy from online or anything like that? I'd prefer a female from what I've looked up about bearded dragons. I've almost got everything I need for the set up for the bearded, and understand how to take care of them.

Any tips would be appreciated, thanks!

I just brought him home Wednesday, and he was skin and bones (had good experience with the breeder in the past, but this time was quite different). I've had food available 24/7 and have offered canned snails, dubia roaches, and meal worms. I've also moved his food dish closer to his preferred hiding spot. But he still hasn't eaten anything. He's obviously really stressed, and I'm sure he'll eat once he's adjusted to everything, but is there anything else I can do to help? I'm going to put a cover over his enclosure for privacy, but that's the only thing I could think of to encourage him to eat. I've never had to deal with underweight animals before, and I'm really worried about him.

Hello everyone! I have this 18x18x12 terrarium that’s empty that I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with. I’ve been thinking about maybe getting a reptile but am really open to anything honestly, besides a spider tbh. Would love some suggestions!

I have a UV coil bulb, a ceramic heat emitter and a 60 watt daylight bulb. And for fixtures I have a small deep dome reflector, a large deep dome reflector, and a wire cage lamp.

I’m wondering what’s the best way to match up bulbs and lamps. I’m thinking the CHE should go with the cage lamp to prevent it from overheating and getting damaged. But I’m not sure if it’s better to put the UV or the daylight bulb into the larger dome reflector?

I was thinking the heat bulb can go into the larger reflector and on a stand so the uv can be closer to the mesh top. But any advice is appreciated
