So I am potentially moving to LA from Atlanta. Does anyone know the best and most legal way to get my snakes, geckos, and frog across state lines? I don't even know where to start =( Also does California have issues with cal kings?

My future sister in law gave me her year old fire belly toad. I've never kept amphibians long term before, much less a frog, so what do I do now you guys? Is this an accurate care sheet? http://www.frogforum.net/content/fire-bellied-toad-care-breeding-bombina-orientalis-relatives-123/ Is...

I was at the local reptile show today, getting mice for my snakes, when I found this tank for $10, I couldn't pass it up lol I've gussied it up a bit, but I'm not sure what I want to keep in it yet. Any ideas? I have UTH, but I don't know if it would get hot enough to reach above the soil. and...

I was cleaning cages today and noticed my BP has mites. Form what I understand they are pretty much like fleas for dogs and cats and can crop up for no reason. Whats the best way to deal with this, I'd hate to start something that looks like it's going to work only to have them come back later...

Because I finally got my first corn! And it happened out of dumb luck too! I don't think I've been so happy to buy cat de-wormwer before XD Anyway this is my new Opal Corn, I haven't named her yet, but I am considering Rarity, for various reasons lol but here she is =3 The artsy shot The...

So I have a little ruby eye lavender cal king, and I noticed a few days after I brought her home she had some brown marks on her tail. I figured it was just something that would come off on its own, but a shed later and it's still there. I even noticed a small amount of the same color on her...

This little guy was sitting on the second step of my stoop this afternoon, my husband found him when we were headed out the door for work, so I didn't have time to take more then two photos, but I thought I would share. I have to wonder if a bird dropped him on the steps where we found him, he...

I don't know why but one of my cats has it out for my other pets. First my gerbils, and tonight my male kingsnake, while he was in my hands no less! Anyway he got a small nick on the side of his neck, and while its not bleeding I'd like to know how to treat it so it doesn't cause trouble later.

I am considering a ball python, but am open to other suggestions. However, I don't want anything crazy expensive, so no lucistic balls or anything lol Although reasonable morphs of various snakes are still ok Sadly though, I can't do corns, GA has made that illegal and I'm not going to risk...

Been awhile since I've haunted this forum lol Anyway I did a little snake swapping today, and traded my rather bitey cal king for this lovely new rat snake. I was originally going to get a red tail boa, but this guy caught my eye at the last minute lol This guy is captive bred and very tame, I...

my oldest king shed this afternoon and when i went to take the skin and clean her cage i noticed her vent looked red and irritated. i dabbed a tissue to it to check for fluids and there was blood. she was completely fine last night. i'm talking her to a vet once i get ahold of one, but i was...

basicly my rat has a retained eye cap. i tried to get it off but he thrashes around too much. on top of that i don't have anyone who'll help me (too afraid of both ends, if not snakes in general) is there anyway to do this single handedly without hurting him?

please tell me this is not what i think it is. so anyway, murdoc has been kinda antsy lately, usually he's very laid back. so i take him out of his cage and felt some wetness on my hand. i thought it was musk but i couldn't smell anything. so i take a look and see this.... i was holding...

Turns out her friend had a snake loose in her laundry room. and she needed me to take care of it. shes totally freaking out, and i'm almost expecting to find some big copperhead or something, and having to tell her she needs to call a professional. anyway i get up there and she tells me she...

i've always used heatlamps for my reptiles. well my dads been getting annoyed with this and has agreed to get me a UTH for all my cages (not bad considering i'm moving out in 6 months lol). unfortunately, i have no idea where to begin. whats the best deal for the money, the safest/cheapest/most...
