The national weather service has issued a Particularly Dangerous Situation Tornado Watch for a large portion of Florida. They have never, ever issued one for this area. I am packing up my dogs and bird and seeking shelter, since my home would not be safe. How are you doing up there, Rich???

Trump's speech after his welcome concert!!

I am!! Arriving Friday, leaving Sunday. Staying at La Quinta on the beach. Not planning on buying anything!!! I've only bought a snake at Daytona twice- Noah the BOA years ago, and Ruby Two, bloodred stripe from Rich Hume, last year. Oh- but I'll be buying books and T-shirts, etc...

So I've inherited an adult male horned frog, on zero notice. I have some questions, though! It looks like he wasn't being kept quite right, both in terms of diet and habitat. I'm attempting to correct that. He is in a 12 x 12 x 18 (high) Exoterra, because that's what I had. He has a...

whose would it be? I saw that question on a colubrid page on Facebook, and scrolled through the answers thinking, are you crazy? NO MORE SNAKES!!! But this morning, it crossed my mind again and I had an answer. Carol Huddleston's collection would be very tempting! Steve Roylance was a...
