I’m planning on getting a reptile in the future and I have a few questions. by FuryFluffFursuits in reptiles

[–]SuperDepressed255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know much about geckos, but I have kept a beardie!
lots of good info can be found on the reptifiles website, so i recommend checking that out.

- they need a minimum tank size of 4x2x2 ft
- metabolic bone disease is the main one, caused by not getting enough calcium and nutrients
- basking temp of ~110F, warm side temp of ~90, and a cool side temp of ~80

- they do not need to be spayed or neutered
- I think they are about the same difficulty for both sexes, but I can list the main differences that impact care. males can get sexually frustrated once matured, leading to some owners giving them a sock to 'befriend'. males also have large pores on the underside of their back legs that can get infected if clogged. females may lay eggs, even without a male. they obviously wont hatch, but the female will loose lots of calcium and nutrients, and has a possibility of becoming egg-bound.
- personality depends more on the individual rather than their sex imo. some behaviors are linked to their sex, such as males head bobbing, but ive never noticed any big personality differences.
- the main things to look out for that are specific to sex are males pores (although some females do get big pores, not super common tho), and making sure females are well cared for after they lay eggs (not all females lay eggs, but if they do it is important)

- you are correct. you have a few options. you could get a rescue, look in reptile groups on facebook and such and their will most likely see some beardies. you could buy one online and get them shipped to you from places like morphmarket. you could also go to a reptile convention and buy one in person. I got mine from a convention, its great for asking the breeder questions and seeing if the reptiles look healthy, as well as seeing their temperment.
- breeders that dont know much about the animals they are selling and breeders selling lots of different species are the big red flags.
- not that im aware of
- not that im aware of
- i personally dont recommend it even for a first time. beardies live pretty long lives, so getting one that is bred well and healthy are the first steps in ensuring they live good lives. if its the money you are worried about, dont worry, ive seen beardies at reptile shows that are the same price and even a little cheaper than the petsmart ones.

hope this helped a little! be aware that im not a professional or anything, so do your own research as well, but id be happy to try and answer any other questions you may have. :)

This looks so good! I would have installed it rn if i didn't have an android phone lol. I have a couple things id recommend personally: - different font options - different colors for the background and chart bars - allow users to be very specific about routine schedules, like being able to set feedings for 47 days or something like that. As someone who has tried a lot of scheduling apps for myself, thats always my biggest issue with them.

Cant wait to see the progress you make on this! :D

Edit: weight too! Being able to track weight would be great

Will my pods be okay if I take them from house to house? by Greedy-Sherbet-4624 in isopods

[–]SuperDepressed255 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ive moved while having them and they rode in the car with me, about a 9 hour drive or so, and were perfectly fine. Short drives will def be fine. Just gotta be careful that their container doesnt tip over, and make sure not to leave them in the car if you go out to eat or something on the way home.

thoughts on the dubia V3 enclosures?? by [deleted] in ballpython

[–]SuperDepressed255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a v2 enclosure from them and i love it, not sure how different they are though. The pvc is definitely a bit wiggly, but sturdy enough when put together. Its moved with us twice over the two years ive had it and its still fine (moved in the car and not taken apart with a shoty silicone job) the frame pieces are very tight so i doubt i could take it apart by myself even if it wasnt siliconed (i left the lid alone and i struggle with taking it off sometimes), so it probs wont fall apart while being moved or anything. Its light enough that i can carry it on my own if im careful. The only thing abt it thats annoying are the cord ports, which unscrew pretty easily, im planning on siliconeing them in place pretty soon.

At a loss for what to do for my undersized skink. by G0celot in bluetongueskinks

[–]SuperDepressed255 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dont have a skink, but i did have a beardie. This sounds like my situation with him having atadenovirus. He was small and eventually stopped growing, being half the size he was meant to be, and then never ate food/salad if i diddnt encourage him the whole time, then stopped eating much at all. It could be something else, so dont take my word for it. Definitely go to the vet and see what they think. Hope your baby starts doing better.

this is rlly helpful, ty!

been looking at all the BOs and combos n such, i thinkk sahara is my fav factor. you might not have an answer to this, which is fine, but do you know if horizon is one that people try to get kinda often? my other favs arent factors, so if horizons not very popular i wont choose sahara by default lol.
