    Repashy Grassland Grazers

    I have not tried this food but Allan's foods are the staple of the gecko world. They are always evolving and he is amazing. Their nutrition is great with quality ingredients.

    https://ifttt.com/recipes/79 http://littlethingsbigstuff.com/2012/11/12/how-to-set-up-craigslist-alerts-using-ifttt/ My best advice is for when you get to the part about copying the search URL use the rss link at the bottom right of the Craigslist page instead of the URL in your address bar...

    I want to start a local (Oregon) tortoise rescue...am I insane?

    A cool website you can use to help you watch cl is called ifttt.com If this, then that. You can set up an alert for a specific cl search and have it email you. Super handy. It is also handy for a lot of other stuff, but that isn't relevant here!

    I want to start a local (Oregon) tortoise rescue...am I insane?

    But go for it! Using Facebook and cl works well to start. Feelers out to other vets and shelters. Let animal shelters know and watch their listings. The specialty rescues here are able to get animals that fit their needs at reduced cost if they can help.

    I want to start a local (Oregon) tortoise rescue...am I insane?

    And if you really want to be a rescue the biggest part is making sure you don't get attached to every animal. Many will be sick and die. And the others should be reformed! We fostered tons of dogs and it was always hard.

    Dangerous lighting setup? Fire hazard!

    If the wattage of the fixture is lower it will under power. If it his higher, it overdrives the bulb. It will shorten it some, but a few watts is negligible. Aquarium users use to overdrive 1.5 or 2x and still get plenty of life. [hr] Under powered bulbs should not have a shorter life. The...

    I want to start a local (Oregon) tortoise rescue...am I insane?

    My recommendation is start informally and just start doing what you can. As it expands you can become more "official". Often the transition to being a full blown "rescue" ends up associating fees and cramp that people aren't interested in. See if you can help some animals, and step it up from...

    Dangerous lighting setup? Fire hazard!

    I'm willing to bet the ballast in a reptile branded fixture is actually rated the same as any other. I swear on my soul I think that it is entirely a marketing ploy. They do this crap with aquarium lights too. [hr] I think people often forget that the ballast controls output since it is the...

    Dangerous lighting setup? Fire hazard!

    The fixture sets the wattage and it doesn't matter what the bulb says. Most people think this is pet companies trying to screw people with something proprietary. It is fine. The cheaper magnetic ballasts do get warm. It isn't a problem and not because of the bulbs. Most of us have done this...

    Everyone please read this- nuclear toxicity

    I've read about this leakage on every major news outlet. The entire issue is covered thoroughly in and out of Japan. There is no hiding it. The death rate claims are highly debatable. It appears 2011 had a nationwide increase of .9% over 2010. How could some of those numbers be true. No source...

    Snake kills children ?! D:

    Ooh! One source from 5 days ago In Australia and NO ONE else picked up as a murder? Don't you notice the headline says murder but the story actually has nothing that says that? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2386416/Noah-Connor-Barthe-To-buried-casket-forever.html This story actually...

    Snake kills children ?! D:

    Co poisoning would be easily detected I atmosphere and tissue samples. It would also likely have killed everyone in the home and all of the animals. CO is lighter than air and the whole first floor would likely have been filled, effectively suffocating the animals too. There are two primary...

    Snake kills children ?! D:

    I'm a-ok with opinions and I'm sorry used name calling early I here. I was a dbag there. But if you state an opinion you should state why, and you should state it as an opinion. Not as a straight fact with no qualifier. Saying something like " the sun is closer than mars" is clearly stated...

    Snake kills children ?! D:

    Btw, it actually sounds like we agree on everything. Just the semantics of "cardiac arrest". There isn't a good reason to have a snake like this In a home collection. The list of illegal animals removed from this "zoo" is pretty long. This shop had even been inspected by the mayor...

    Snake kills children ?! D:

    I never suggested we need to do crazy bans or anything. Fact is this snake was already illegal. What I'm saying is that we're ignoring logic.

    What are there temperaments like? How much do they eat? And how big? We're parting ways with the geese soon... We won't have anything that big again.
