    I'm having so much trouble choosing a species. Is this a fair assessment of my options?

    I am not an experienced with any of your concerns. The only thing I can say is I really wanted an instahatch also, but instead ended up with a beautifully started hatchling from tortstork (eastern Hermanns) I really do understand your one and done mentality. There are times I wish I would have...

    First outdoor enclosure

    We made Sheldon his first temporary enclosure. I know it should be bigger, but if I keep it like this it will be mobile. I could move it around to keep his food supply going. Opinions welcome. I’m in Michigan so any outdoor enclosure will be somewhat temporary.

    Need to vent

    A new “exotic” pet store opened by me and I wish I wouldn’t have went to check it out. There was a hatchling Eastern Hermanns on sand with just basking light in a cattle water container on the floor where little kids were picking it up. Ugh. They also had 3 different species of chameleon housed...

    Boy or girl?

    I was explaining to a friend 2 days ago that I wanted to post a picture to see if my 2 year old Hermanns is a boy or girl. This morning I woke up to HIM defiling his frog statue friend. Mystery solved! ?

    Bulbs

    I don’t know why bulbs are so hard for me to understand but here we go. Is this a MVB or a flood? Is it good or bad? Please help.
