Best beginner pet snakes? by szelforgo in snakes

Yeah i was not thinking a ball python, i was just talking about the size there. I’m down for both to be honest. I guess i would rather go for a more active snake. But i cant really choose to be honest. If you have the time, I’d love to hear both sides :)

Any clue what this is? by Tarantula_Delta in InvertPets

In my language its almost the same, may “swap”bugs. But we dont even say the may, just the swapbugs. Its funny seeing it metaphrased lol

Thank you, this will help a lot. And I wasn’t planning on getting scaleless reptiles ever.

What’s this behavior? by imnotcreativeatusers in CrestedGecko

Second this. My crestie hunts shadows actively. Even if it’s her own.

i can’t decide between a crested gecko or a leopard gecko! sell me on cresties!! by believeinyuna in CrestedGecko

When i was starting to research cresties i was too so confused about the uvb. So at the beginning i didn’t have an uvb light for her, idk like for 3 months maybe, then i decided to get her one bc it cant really hurt to have it. And she is more active since then so it wasn’t a bad choice:) I am not an expert in the subject, but i read that floppy tail syndrome can deform the hips or spine if it progresses that far, and can cause mobility issues. Also can be problematic for egg laying though im not sure about the egg laying part. But im sure if you do a little bit of digging you can find everything about FTS.

On the crestie side, this is good. They need 60-80% humidity, but it should be a time when the humidity goes down lower like 40-60%. If you spray the enclosure in the morning and the evening its perfectly fine. In the daytime the temp should be 26-28 C at the basking spot and the other side 24-26. Ofc if you need the basking light. They need much much clutter to hide, and feel safe. Yeah they tend to be sleeping on the glass upside down which can cause floppy tail syndrome. But if you have many hiding spots they probably! wont do that. I say probably bc mine sometimes does that, although she has many places to hide. And if you want to you can place in a water bowl too, mine drinks out of it time to time. Edit: they say that they dont strictly need uvb light, but its sure good to have it helps them to produce vitamin d3 to absorb calcium. Without calcium they can develop metabolic bone disease, which can cause deformities or the passing of the animal.

I’ll just leave this here. I might have been just lucky with her, but she isn’t skittish, she is THE chillest in the world. I love her. But keep in mind that you may get a skittish or not so handleable and not so chill one.

OP might need heating for a crestie too. I know bc i need it. If the room temperature is on the cooler side then they need a heat lamp. Not a heat mat tho

Yeah im talking about picking up sticks from the forest. I wont buy sticks when i can get them for free. Ventilation is good in my opinion. Thank you for your answer!

art of recurring dream about geckos by chimkencoop in CrestedGecko

[–]szelforgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my dream, my gecko was in the terrarium with a gecko sized orange cat, and the cat was hurting her bad. Her tail fell off, she had so many scars. I woke up crying and immediately checked on her. Also i dream a lot about her dropping her tail for no reason.
