    INSPIRATION~~

    Decomposed granite, like Kelly said, is great for arid species. Anyone who keeps large varanids will tell you this. Here's a pic of what it looks like: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/91/Decomposed_granite_path.jpg

    Identification?

    A bit unlikely. Chicken turtles have very smooth marginal scutes.

    [split] Ploughshare discussion

    Neither can they be solved by hunting endangered species. What happens when they become locally extinct or move away? This is why you need alternative methods. With alternative methods, you're at least guaranteed a sustainable source of food. I forgot to mention this earlier, but an increasing...

    Buying an adult tegu

    Some people recommend buying a juvenile tegu at first because they're easier to tame and referred to as "clean slates." The only Canadian breeder I know of has to wait until August or September to get hatchlings. I cannot seem to find juvenile Argentine black and whites (one person claimed to...

    Update

    Great improvements on your radiated and ploughshare setups. :cool: As for the sea turtles though, no offense, but you should really give the hawksbill to a research institute or better, release it back into the ocean. It will be much happier there. Sea turtles are some of the most graceful...

    For average USD 1/day income rate and 70% people under malnutrition, in all honesty, I'd rather all the animals to be extinct and the people get something to eat out of the wild. Give them food and jobs, correct the government system, can you please advise how to do that? The poor people of...

    RE: Ploughshare setup The Project Angonoka is the only ploughshare breeding program in their native habitat. In May 1996, 75 tortoises were stolen. The security has increased and there have been no more thefts. The smuggled ploughshares are all from the Baly Bay region in western Madagascar.
