Both Parents are afraid of my pet snake and they refuse to step anywhere near it. How can I help them not be so afraid?
I bought a black eyed leucitic ball python two years ago and she is the most docile snake I have ever owned. My roommate says she can't believe how easy she is to handle compare to my other snakes. However my parents will not set foot anywhere near her when they come to visit me, they say that she hisses at them every time. The hell can I do?

Help! Really worried about my snake?
My year and a half old western hognose has not eaten in 4 months, she did this last year same time and she started eating after about 4 months, so i haven't been too worried about it because she is not loosing weight. She has shed a few days ago and today I noticed that she pooped and it is greenish and has a lot of mucus with a little blood. I have also noticed that there are some clicking noises coming from her mouth. Should I take her to the vet?

My tween found clutch of frog eggs in a soon to dry out puddle in the field next to our house. she saved them, what to do next, advice?
Favourite answer:You can relocate the eggs to another puddle or you can bring them home and wait until they hatch before relocating them. Use pond water or bottled water only, but no tap water if you choose to bring them home. Or you can leave the eggs where they are. It is natural selection at work. If frogs do not place eggs where they are likely to survive, then the parent frogs don't leave their genes and only frogs that know where to lay eggs will leave their genes to future generations.

Is there any way to be able to keep a pet elsewhere if your apartment complex doesn't allow it?
I want to get a monitor lizard, but the place I'm moving to doesn't allow enclosures beyond 20 gallons. Is there any services or anything out there that allow you keep an animal there for a boarding fee? I know places allow you to keep boats and cars in them, how about animals?

Do lizards bite?
Favourite answer:Some do. I've been bitten by tokay geckos. Komodo monitors are predators and bite. So do the Gila monster and Mexican beaded lizard.

Is venom poisonous?
Favourite answer:If you have an ulcer, the venom will get into your bloodstream. I recall a story in a magazine about someone who used to sell curare and would downplay the value of a competitor's curare by swallowing some of it. The competitor gave him some fresh pineapple. When eaten, it allowed some of the curare to enter his bloodstream, killing him when he swallowed curare. That would be all it took to allow the same thing to happen with snake venom.

Why do 'people' like Dianne like to trash questions if they're made to look like Cnuts? Can't they take the heat? Ar$e-pipe losers?
Favourite answer:Use your brains, Sunbeam. You gave me a couple of BAs and they've all disappeared. Check it out!
The culprit is the multiple accounts troll who I call The Lambresco Kid located in Liverpool who hides behind the anonymous banner.
For confirmation look at the question I asked about the five murderers jailed for life and see how many times LAMBRESCO was mentioned.
You don't need to be Inspector Morse to work it out.
Edit....Lambresco Kid, you are not decent if you're calling out other users with multiple accounts while hiding behind an anonymous banner.
I don't hide so why do you?
Gerald.....did you predict a worldwide pandemic four years ago?
No, you did not, so let's have no more of this nonsense from you.
PS...Gerald has gone anonymous!
Yet another coward.

What should I do with this?
Favourite answer:That depends on the type of turtle. If it isn't a red-eared slider, you MIGHT be able to find someone who has the ability to keep it. Whatever you do, do not release it in the wild. I've seen populations of threatened and endangered species in trouble because someone decided to release a RES that got too large for him to keep. And someone else followed suit. and someone else. All it takes is one male and one female and you have the death of a valuable population. The problem is not that your turtle couldn't survive; the problem is that it could survive and could reproduce.
When you adopted your turtle, you took on responsibility for it. Start looking around for ways to keep it. Possibly the cheapest housing is a child's wading pool. You might have to ring it with wire mesh for some turtles, though. Or you could do what I have done. A student caught a snapping turtle during the summer of 1964 and gave it to me in 1965. It has outgrown all my aquariums and resides in a bathtub. It's not that I have an emotional attachment to it; the turtle is the oldest-known common snapper - - ever, even if you don't count the time before capture. If you do count my estimate of its age, it is 61. When I got it, it was barely mature and I estimated that it had been born in 1959, give or take a year.
In other words, change your plans. Either arrange to keep it or contact a pet-rescue or (unless it is a RES) a zoo. It is against the law to release it.

Why are reptiles so cool?

Alligators?
Favourite answer:In almost all species, the crocs have broader snouts. The one exception is not found in FL or PR. To be sure, look at the reptile when its mouth is closed. Alligators and caimans will not show any teeth. In crocs, the fourth tooth will be visible. At least in FL, there is a habitat difference. Alligators stay pretty much in fresh water and the crocs prefer brackish or salt water. Caimans are identified by a bony ridge in front of the eyes.

What is better for a pet a reptile or amphibian ?
Favourite answer:I kept baby turtles first and then amphibians before I kept other reptiles. Overall, I think reptiles are better pets because they are easier to breed than amphibians, and they are less susceptible to diseases. Amphibian cages have to be kept real clean or else they can get red leg, a bacterial disease. Amphibians also prefer cooler temperatures so a heat wave can potentially be more dangerous for amphibians than for reptiles. They are both attractively colored and both are very interesting pets. My most favorite amphibian pets are salamanders, newts and treefrogs. My most favorite reptile pets are snakes and turtles.
