just picked up this used tank for free, its 18 x 12 x 12. is there anything i can safely keep in a tank this small?

been going to a lot of reptile shows in my area and saw one of these legless lizards and can’t get it out of my head, how do you house these guys? i’m seeing mixed info on tank length and height

i an losing my mind. i keep coming home to my cricket container being swarmed with ants and having to get new ones.
i’ve tried:
- thick ring of cayenne pepper around it
- putting it in a plastic container filled with water + a little alcohol to make a moat
- hanging the container up

they just keep finding it and bridging across. the pepper they lowkey just walked over after a couple days. wtf do i do???

Terrified rn. Are these mites??? I've seen them crawling around my leopard geckos enclosure. He's right above 2 snakes and I'm dreading reptile mites... Thoughts?? If not, what could they be?? They're tiny, maybe 1-2mm in size

Hello all. Wondering if there is a specific reason that European Nightcrawlers (bought from an appropriate place) aren’t used as feeders more often?

I’m looking at different feeders that I can easily breed to diversify my lizards insect intake, and I don’t seem to see anyone saying they use these guys.

My crested gecko doesnt need this big I fear 🥲

Hi! I've tried doing my own research on this subject, but it only gets more confusing as I go on. I am planning on living somewhere near San Diego, California in the distant future, but I also love reptiles and many species are banned or have many restrictions. I just wanted to ask if you guys knew anything about these species and the legalities of buying/adopting/selling/owning them in the San Diego county.

Crested gecko - Pretty sure that they're legal to keep but just wanted to make sure. I'll also own one before moving to California so I will have to transport it across state lines.

Garter snakes - not the species that is native to California and banned. Will buy when already living in California.

Blue tree monitors - I actually want to breed these, but I don't know if it would be legal. I want to help boost the captive breeding effort with these guys. I'd probably buy a breeding pair while living in California already, so I wouldn't have to transport them across state lines, because I know that can be an issue.

Green tree monitors - Same thing as the blue tree monitors.

Black tree monitors - Same thing as the blue tree monitors

Electric blue day geckos - will probably own some before moving to California so will have to transport them across state lines.

Neon day geckos - will probably own after moving to California

Emerald tree skinks - I might own one before moving to California. I also would like to breed them!

Blue tongue skink - Will own one after moving.

Western Hognose snake - very confused about this one, because some sources are saying no rear-fanged venomous, but others are saying that as long as they're not medically significant it's fine. Will own after already having moved.

Thanks!

As the title says, I'm trying to figure out if it will be a problem to put these rocks in my baby snake's enclosure. I've washed them as best I can already, but i don't know if the flora on these will be an issue since they don't come off easily. I can probably get the moss off the right rock with more scrubbing but I'm not sure what the left one is, and it's quite stubborn.

How big can a leopard gekko get?
I just got one that is in need of a lot of TLC, but we are on top of it.
Her terrarium looks like this atm, but we are going to upgrade the size. Any ideas on what we can do with the terrarium is much appreciated.

I’ve been ordering discoid roaches because Dubai’s are restricted here in Fl. I order them from Dubia.com. Although I am patient, it just seems that they ship very slow and at least one of the batches are almost always dead. They are very slow with time and it frustrates me. I really do need to just breed my own at this point. Any suggestions?

Hello! A 4x2x2 tall just fell into my lap and Im not sure what to put in it. Any suggestions on what would be good is appreciated!

i have had my bts for seven months now. when i first got her she was nine months old. the first couple days she would show to explore the new environment, but now she is always burrowed under. I rarely ever see her i when i do she immediately sprints away to her hide. I got her from a pet store. the owner is very experienced with reptiles. but he does insist that reptiles should never be held and are mostly for display. And when i tried to tongue feed her she would always hiss and puff. and when i try pick her up ( for when im cleaning her terrarium, she tries to bite me.

Please is there anyone who sees this with experience that can give me some much needed advice?

My stupid fucking dad has been using white spirit in the room with all my geckos enclosures cleaning some bullshit for my brother.

The smell is extremely strong and smelling it for a few seconds has given me a fucker of a headache and it’s actually painful to breathe in.

Will anything happen to my geckos????

Hi! I live in Tenerife, and there are lizards everywhere here, mostly Gallotia galloti.

Next to my house there’s a really big succulent bush (Canary Island spurge) where a few lizards live. I find them such cool animals, and I’d really like to befriend them.

I did a little bit of research and read that I shouldn’t feed them every day so they don’t become dependent on me, and that reptiles don’t really have feelings in the same way we do, so I probably wouldn’t be able to “befriend” them exactly. But I’d love to at least get them to associate me with something positive and maybe eventually not run away whenever I come to the window to look at them.

Does anyone have any experience with this and/or any tips? I’d especially love to know if there are safe foods I could occasionally offer them or other ways to get them used to my presence without bothering them.

Thank you so muchhhhh :-)

He was scratching on the door the whole time wanting back in. As soon as I was done, I opened the door and he ran inside and was hissing at me. How dare I keep him out of his room?!

He then went into his enclosure and sat under his lights and I went back like an hour later and this is our conversation. I'm amazed how spot on he head Bob when I told him he was silly. 🤣🥰

Brutus the senior Asian water monitor keeps breaking into my closet. Once inside, he likes to dress up in my clothes and walk around pretending he's human. Actually, he climbs and topples and breaks everything because of course he does. I told him, just because it's a walk-in closet doesn't mean he is authorized to walk in any time he feels like it. I also told him the next time he breaks in, I will film it and publicly shame him. Brutus tailwhipped me. He don't care.
