I'm an Archaeologist, it used to be great with lots of travelling all over the world but nowadays I'm mostly concentrated on a couple of large projects and spend more time behind a desk than I would like.
I know a UK dealer who can normally get any exotic pet you could want (I know they recently shipped in two lions for example and I'm waiting on my DWA to pick up a Caiman from them) but even these guys told me they couldn't get me a blue. I'm thinking there are few, if any available in the UK.
Re: sore and kinckt tail pleasehelp
Its quite a long way to the left right yeah, is it possible the bone broke while trying to shed? Wouldn't the tail drop if that was the case? It might be wasting of the flesh that makes it look that way though, its hard to see.

Glad you are getting some advice Andy, I knew the good people here would be able to help (it's Michael from Facebook btw). I'm far from an expert but I'd guess there was the start of some MBD there as well. its obvious you are really trying to help this guy...
Hi guys,
I've had my red 2 months now and never bathed him, he sheds fine but I would like to try him in the bath to see if he enjoys it. He has the tips of several toes missing from beofre I got him so he has had shedding issues in the past and I thought this might help if I get a problem in...
Bob does still flip on his back occasionly but seems none the worse for wear for it, his food, temps and humidity are all good and his temprement is coming on great so i'm now just putting it down to some quirk of his.
I will capture it for Youtube soon!!!!!
I did reply to your post above but for some reason it didn't work.
I don't think you are doing anything wrong and doubt you are caring for the turtle poorly. My Ally snapper started put with a basking spot but they simply dont use them. Sid will sit on one place for a month without moving and...
I guess turtles can seem quite dull to some people. My Alligator snapper while literally go a week without moving and inch. He'll sit still for so long that weeds will grow on the back of his shell (which looks amazing by the way).
Once a fish or something else to eat enters his tank though its...
Quick update for those who were interested. Bob hasn't flipped over for about 4 days now. He seems more and more alert each day and he is happy to be handled. He's started getting quite frisky around food as well. I think he had a lack of UVB and maybe calcium, both of which he is getting lots...
Thanks so much for your kind words! I do think we are slowly getting somewhere with him/her.
I have to say that so far i've been very impressed with having a Tegu, i've owned alot of reptiles but this is the first one i've owned where the personality of the animal has shone through so quick...
No Flip today so no video, good news i guess.
My new digital infrared thermometer arrived, and it read very diffrent from the other ones! The cool side of the tank is between 70-75, the middle of the tank is around 82-85 and the area near the basking spot was in the 90-95's. The basking spot...
I'm in the process of applying for a DWA license in the Uk at the moment so that I can get a Dwarf Caiman. I find it strange that I can keep a Alligator Snapper without any kind of permit but i have to pay Ã?Æ?Ã?â??Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?¡Ã?Æ?ââ?¬Å¡Ã?â??Ã?£1200 a year to the council just to own a...
