    Leopard Gecko

    You'll want to move him/her to a bigger tank as he/she grows out of it. They typically get to be 8-10" long. I own a female myself, abd have her in a 20long, that's enough for one gecko. These geckos can live around 20 years so be prepared to take care of it well. Some good info can be found at...

    Disrespect of a fallen hero

    What's so terrible about what they do? If they genuinely love another what's wrong there? Forgive me if I don't see it. FYI, there are proven documentations of same sex pairs in birds, primates and many other species, so for all we know it could be a natural behavior. We are biological...

    Is one person's moral opinion as good as another's?

    I agree with you here. Even though I have oy own beliefs and opinions about issues like these, I only want for there to be comprimose for people on both sides. It's so much more worth it to find that solution than to argue and hate eachother more over our own complexities. Really, looking at...

    Venting About My Frustrating Life...

    Hit the nail on the head. I also write, and currently I'm working on a novel and a short story compilation. Science fiction mainly. These are works in progress, so it won't be a while til they're complete. These things come out better if you take time with development. Thanx for everyone's...

    I decided to raise Quail this spring.

    Well, if you do keep them in your yard, you'll likely have less bugs and whatnot to jump on the dogs. I'm a bird lover, so any avian species is special to me. Make sure you take care of them and good luck!:)

    Disrespect of a fallen hero

    Agreed strongly. I really dispise people who claim to be following a higher power and yet are so full of hate and darkness. These types are no better than the people who committed 9/11, which is why they should be watched much more than what they are. Can we all just be human to eachother for...

    Venting About My Frustrating Life...

    Thanx OG, I bookmarked the site and will register there. I'll just have to keep struggling to get where I need to be, for myself, my animals, and my family. It's funny in a way, I knew life was a constant struggle, but never experienced it for myself until now.:) Thanx for all your help~Angela

    Venting About My Frustrating Life...

    My Mom and I are both going to a temp agency tomorrow I think, which is worth a try I guess. I just don't have much hope in anything anymore because I've been let down so many times. I'm tired of getting my hopes up only to have them knocked down again. I often feel the artwork I do is the...

    Venting About My Frustrating Life...

    So here's the story, in 2004, I graduated college with an Associate's degree in computer animation. I had first entered this private art college in hopes of fullfilling dreams of creating my own films, maybe get into anime somehow. Those dreams were soon crushed when I learned animators are paid...

    Is one person's moral opinion as good as another's?

    In the spectrum of nearly infinite human circumstances, there are many shades of gray between black and white, metaphorically speaking. I believe there are situations that are clearly defined as black and white, however, there are also circumstances where an individual's perception of the world...

    Snail Problem

    Snails can't tolerate fish meds, so any time you are treating your fish for disease, you should take the snail out and place it in a container of its own until the treatment duration is finished. Some snails can be acclimated to salt in the water, but it has to be done a little at a time. Your...

    Kodak Toodarnhardtoshare

    Didn't the cam come with software? That's what uploads the pics to your PC. Once you've connected the USB cable from the cam to the PC port, the software recognizes the hardware and uploads the files. Or, you could go into my computer>drive E(or camera drive), click that open, and there should...

    Don't let your freinds name your pets!!

    Do lots of reading/research at chelonia.org They also have a help forum for other turtle owners there. Make sure you know what kind of commitment you're getting into here. That tank may work for a while, but the turtle will outgrow it, and eventually will need its own environment. I think...

    Wondering About A Future Goby Tank

    That's great:)! I know those poor little things would probably be more afraid of me than I am of them. Speaking of firefish, I was at a local petstore today and saw that they had one. They are as beautiful in person as they are in pics. By any chance, are there any sites devoted to gobies...

    What to do with empty pond? Leave it or what?

    Yeah, it should be spring within a month or so. Sorry about the fish you lost, I know how that must feel. I would do this if I were you, so you can be better prepared next winter: 1. Save some money if need be and setup a kiddy pool, or large enough tank (dependant on the number of goldfish...

    Wondering About A Future Goby Tank

    I'm into freshwater currently, but in the next few years, I'd like to try saltwater. I'm thinking a 20-30gallon setup would be ideal as far as system stability goes, from what I've read. I really like the live rock setups, but I wouldn't be completely sure about a reef, since it can get so...

    Naming Fish!

    There are only three fish in my tank that have names, mainly because they are the only ones distinguishable from the other schools that all look alike. "Firefly" is one of my male swordtails, he's of the pineapple color variant with light bluish eyes. He moves like lightning in his...

    Killer Apple Snail!!! Help!!!

    I have to agree, apples aren't fast enough to be carnivores, but they do scavenge. A lost eye on one of your fish sounds like a fish squabble. Small schooling fish can get pretty feisty with eachother, so just keep an eye out. It could've also been a disease that wasn's visible until it was too...

    For anyone who doubts how large a pleco can get...

    So, those guys are native to FL? I've had a petstore owner tell me he saw one of them in the wild that looked to be over 3ft. They really are beautiful fish, I would've kept my pl*co if I'd had the room, but he was just too big for the 55g I had bought him, so I realized I should give him to...
