    Best way to preserve 40 year old snake skin.

    hi! So I was just gifted a huge diamond back rattlesnake skin that has been in our family for 40 years. The skin is very brittle, and I am afraid to unravel it. Any ideas on how to best preserve it? It is shed, not hide. I really want it stretched out so bad I can hang it over my reptile room :)...

    Help with getting a tegu

    He doesn't want one because he thinks that the maximum animals I should have are like 2 at a time, and I already have a lot more than that. My mom is all on board and completely respects my hobby. He did know that I ran a reptile rescue, but he thought of it kind of as a joke. I even showed him...

    Help with getting a tegu

    hi! So a little while ago a school dumped their lizard on me and wouldn't take her back. I ended up keeping her. Before this, I had plans to get a tegu and even already bought the wood to build he cage. After I got this rescue, my dad said no more tegu. My mom and I decided to give the rescue to...

    Bearded dragon morph help

    I tried joining a bearded dragon forum, but it wouldn't post. Plus, this is my favorite forum and I usually get answers when I ask non tegu questions

    I can either rescue a beardie or get a tegu. What to do?

    Yeah. Now I'll have to work again so I can pay the dragons vet bills. I seriously already had the tegu cage materials and was like two days from starting to build it. And I don't wanna be the person who gives up their reptile on Craigslist. Ugh

    I can either rescue a beardie or get a tegu. What to do?

    Update: I went to return the beardie today, but they didn't want them!!! My mom says no exceptions, I got the beardie. I had my heart set on a tegu. Is there any way I can convince her to get both. And the only other reptile lover in my small town abuses her animals!!! I don't know what to do, I...

    Off topic but a good question

    I used to have a lot of cresties, and yes they are nocturnal if that is what bores you. If you want something other than a classic leo, try fat tails. If you can find them for a reasonable price, you should totally go for it. They are awesome!!! Plus I've heard they are fairly easy to breed, if...

    HELP ME WITH MY BABY TEGU

    To answer your questions: 1.) reds and bws are the same size, males bigger and with jowels, females without and smaller 2.) try making a meat and insect smoothie, add the greens that way. After some time, start just putting leaves in there, not ground up, and it should learn to like them after a...

    Off topic but a good question

    Chahouas are awesome!!! So much personality! . If you go on YouTube or instagram there is a person called leopard gecko talk, she is awesome and just got a chahoua. Also, I love gargoyles, a little different then a crestie. And if you'd be able to upgrade to a little bigger cage, leachies are...

    I can either rescue a beardie or get a tegu. What to do?

    I really think I should raise the dragon, but I'm currently going through some really tough medical problems, I'm kind of short and spend money, so I have money set aside enough for a tegu, cage, lighting, food for a couple of years, etc., but I don't know if the dragons vet bills might...

    I can either rescue a beardie or get a tegu. What to do?

    Hi, for the last 6 months I've been rescuing a beardie that I got from a school. He's still in BAD shape. After he was healthy, I was going to get a tegu too and keep the healthy beardie, as we have established such a bond. Last night, my parents said if I keep the beardie I will never be able...

    How to convince mom to let me get a tegu

    My mom hates blue tongues. I don't know why. And what a waste of a big cage

    How to convince mom to let me get a tegu

    Ok, so a month ago, my mom said that I could have one more reptile if it fit in an 55 gallon or smaller (I eventually talked her up to a 8x3x3) she said I could choose whatever I wanted. I researched for a little and then decided I wanted a tegu. I am of course going to do more research, but I...
