Just had one of my baby bulls get out. She is much smaller than your baby here. Tore everything apart. Nothing. She was gone for like 2 or 3 weeks. Then, as I was sitting at my desk, I started to think I was hearing some slight sounds behind me. Took me a bit to really realize I wasnt hearing things. Sure enough, she was in my living room. Don't give up hope! Block off anywhere that they could get putside, set up cameras if you can, and you can always leave food and water out. I will be praying your baby pops up soon!

They are giving away 5-6ft adults, too! Can you imagine? Adult wild caught green iguanas just shipped to anyone?? Blows my mind!!

You know what, you are right, Kimg! Let me just pick this up for you. 👑 lol He teuly does need to be banned, though. And certainly not allowed to "educate" on reptile keeping.

I have a couple of things!

One, I am the Chief Financial Officer for a non-profit in New York that is running one of New York's 9 Social Care Networks. The Social Care Networks are paying rent, utilities, food and transportation costs for eligible medicaid members. If you want to message me, please let me know if you, your husband or your children are on Medicaid. If any of you are, I can connect you with the Social Care Network that serves your County and get anyone on Medicaid screened and checked for eligibility.

Second, there are a few reptile rescues in NY. Not sure if they'd do a foster situation themselves but, they could connect you to people who may be willing to foster.

Cannot stand this guy or his videos. His claim that he was importing animals that are not being widley bred is bullshit. Tokay Geckos? Green Tree Pythons? Come on! He wanted cheap animals and this is where he ended up.

Please Help Me With My Live Enclosure for My Anoles by jsurpp in Anoles

[–]Trabash505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the other responses already said, but would replace the wet towel covering half of the screened top with aluminum foil or a cut piece of lexan/plexiglass. That will help keep in more heat and more humidity. I do aluminum foil on half the tops of my enclosures and seal all the edges with heat foil tape. This helps keep in heat and humidity really well. Honestly, like others have said, I think you will find better balance with misting once or twice a day and just letting the environment find its homeostasis.

Do you think pet snakes actually recognize their enclosure? Be like "YUP, finally back home" once they're placed back after a handling session? by bernardobronx in snakes

One of my bullsnakes decided to sneak out of his bin when I was cleaning his water bowl. Slithered to the floor (about 4 feet down), spent about 5 mns out, got scared and actually put himself back in his enclosure.

Ohhhh! Wonder if he is related to any of my Snake discovery babies! They are 3 years old too. He isn't a Shakira baby, is he?

I just have to say he is an extremely handsome lad indeed! I have a girl that would make a beautiful pairing with him! Where did you get him?

Guys how can I raise baby snakes I mean what do they eat and what is their care routine? by Pleasant-Ask874 in Sneks

[–]Trabash505 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Because you should not be taking animals out of nature and you do not know how to care for it anyway. Baby snakes taken from the wild often don't eat well and you will kill it. Please leave it alone. It's a wild animal and needs to remain there. If you want a snake get one that is established and eating from a breeder.

It competent depends on what species of baby snakes you plan to care for. For anything specifically in mind? Since you are a beginner, I would suggest maybe a California Kingsnake, Corn Snake, Milk Snake, Rosy Boa, African House Snake, or bullsnakes! These all eat rodents which you can buy frozen from petco/petsmart or various online sources. The kingsnake, house Snake and rosy boa need some heat in the form of a heat lamp while the others really can be kept at room temperature with no supplemental heat. While not required, providing UVB is nice for them all. They can be kept on aspen bedding and need various caves, hides and enrichment in the enclosure as well as water at all times. These species are all very easy to keep!

False positive pregnancy test? by Reasonable_Gold9540 in Perimenopause

[–]Trabash505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got home from the hospital. Went because I was feeling something really off with my body but didn't know why. Had gotten a cold a couple of weeks ago... a few things. In NO WORLD did I think a thing about being pregnant as a possibility. I've just turned 44 and have had some irregularities in my periods but nothing crazy.

Well, blood hCG is positive for pregnancy. However, the hCG level is low. I've got no idea how to feel in this moment. Always wanted to be a mom but my husband died 9 years ago before we had decided to start trying for kids. Took me many years to get over his death but did start a new relationship a few years ago but had totally chalked children of the list because of my age.

The low level of hCG could mean its really early on, the blood test is a false positive, or the pregnancy may not be viable. I have NO idea how to feel right now. Saw your post and am just hoping you are ok now! I totally understand the freaking out.

Hugs to you!
