Figures! I've been considering an attempt at building something similar to this. I'm not sure I would even make it through the hardware store without giving up though! I'm just no good at that stuff.
I'm glad I'm not the only one! I did lots of research before getting Falcor (our beardie) and had a similar experience with his equipment. I had bought a tank from a chain pet store that claimed to be a full starter kit, light fixtures, bulbs, temperature gauges, etc. Within a week of bringing...
Thank you Jodie. I won't be ready quite that soon. I'll have to spend a few months getting the supplies ready, as I cannot afford the whole shah-bang at once. If my circumstance changes I'll let you know!
Can you give me your opinion on the reply I received when I emailed the companies info address? He signed as the CEO and President of the company. The company does have a 1 year pet protection plan, for whatever that's worth. Here's his reply:
"Hello, Amanda,
We do not share supplier info but I...
Thank you for your advice! I emailed the info email address for this store and got the following reply:
"Hello, Amanda,
We do not share supplier info but I assure you that we only purchase animals from reputable people. We get most of our Leopards from someone in Florida and they are raised...
I didn't know about this until reading about it on here a few days ago, and it has brought up some questions for me. For starters, the pyramiding of the shell. I see it on so many images that I assumed it was a normal feature of them! I'm so glad I know better now. But I still don't understand...
I Do! Especially when considering a pet that will part of your family for so very long! And I don't ever want to be the reason another living being suffers. :)
Hi there!
I'm new to the torty world, and so excited about it all! I already have a Bearded Dragon that I am head-over-heels in love with. I get all of his bugs from a local reptile store, The Serpentarium, and they have had a couple Tortoise hatchlings over the past several months. I instantly...
Thank you all for your input!
I haven't settled on where I'm buying yet. I do have a lot of faith in this particular reptile shop, which I buy all of my dragons bugs at. It isn't your typical "pet shop" and it isn't remotely comparable to a Pets Mart or Petco. I refuse to do business with...
That is exactly why I have come here! I hit a similar wall when doing my research while preparing for my dragon. There's only so much information you can find on any one subject using the Internet. After a while you just start getting more confused with contradicting information.
