Nobody answered me last time and since I've popped into Pet Island again anyway, I'm gonna ask again: How often should my baby rosy boa be shedding? I'm not exactly how small he is, but he doesn't seem much bigger than the baby ones they usually sell at pet stores so it's about that. I've had him for over a year and he's shed twice in that time. He seems perfectly healthy, I feed him one pinky a week, his tank temperature is usually around a high 70. Should I up the temperature/feed him more, or is this normal?

Joonami posted:I just got a rosy boa (weighs approx 25g) and she was fine eating a fuzzy. Consider feeding yours larger food, the general rule of thumb is 1-1.5x the diameter of the snake at its thickest region. Also I think 70 is too cold. They are desert snakes and all the guides I have seen recommend high 80s. I agree with the other poster, my healthy snabies shed about once a month. Yeah, I've been thinking about feeding him something larger, pinkies don't leave much of a lump in him anymore. But since I just bought a bunch I'll be feeding him 2 pinkies for now I guess. I read the max their tank temps should go was about 82, but if it's too cool I'll try increasing the temps. Thanks a lot.

I've been tempted to get a baby tegu or some other monitor, can someone please convince me what a terrible idea this is? Thanks.

Big Centipede posted:Tegus aren't a type of monitor. Yeah, you're right. After looking at the bites and reading about them more, I definitely can't handle them. Even if the idea of having a dog-sized lizard is super tempting/cool as hell. I'll look into something smaller, like a leopard gecko or a beardie.

Hey guys, I decided to get a beardie. He's baby and I got everything all set up and ready for when he arrives. Except, one thing. Do I have to feed him crickets? Is there any way I can feed him something else, or will I be stuck buying a lot of crickets forever? I hate those little fuckers.

My guy's finally gonna be arriving on Wednesday. Ugh, I'm so impatient, I can barely wait! Bought him from a breeder. He's 3 months old, so I guess I'll be stuck dealing with crickets for awhile. How old does he have to be before I can feed him roaches? I don't think I could really breed them, but the pet store around here sells them.

Greycious posted:Dubia roaches are incredibly easy to breed and they will eat table scraps for the most part, fruit that is starting to go, most veggies, breads... I personally wouldn't mind breeding roaches, my family wouldn't be happy with it though. So, it's kind of not possible. That's great that I can feed him roach nymphs, though. I just hate crickets.

Guys, I'm a bit worried about my baby beardie. He was shipped without a heat pack and it was in the low-50s (the weather was fine when the shipper shipped him, but there was a sudden cold snap). He's been very lethargic, hasn't moved much. He's eaten and drank a little bit, is he okay?

Yeah, his basking spot is at 107 degrees, is that okay? And I brought him out into the sun, and poo poo! There's little red dots on him, I think they're mites. gently caress! Time to tell the breeder... and I thought they were good, too.

You got her from a con, Greycious? Are you located in Vegas? I went to the Vegas con yesterday and was about to buy a leopard gecko when I got called into work. When I went again today, the guy was all sold out. Nothing else really interested me at the show.
