Gender of my Chinese water dragon?
Ive had my Chinese water dragon for a while now and up until now I believed he was a boy. But his long spikes aren’t coming in and has some features of a female. Could I get some help determining his gender?
Need advice IMMEDIATELY
I want to be absolutely clear: I have never owned a chameleon, and I have never, at any point, expressed interest in having one. I love reptiles and I already have an adorable leopard gecko, but I know that chameleons are a whole other matter, which is why I need help NOW.
I’m a nineteen-year-old college student living with my family. Earlier today, my mom and cousin went to run some errands; apparently, they thought it would be a great idea to “surprise” me with this little guy. Right now I’m just trying to do as much damage control as possible, hopefully until I can find someone qualified to take him or convince my mom and cousin to bring him back to the store.
Just tell me straight up: how much hell am I in for, what does he need in terms of lighting, humidity, enclosure, food, etc., and looking at these few pictures I managed to get does he look okay (I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s malnourished - they got him at PetSmart 😐). Please be honest but gentle - I know that these are not low maintenance pets, that I’m not qualified, but I was genuinely caught by surprise with him. Please just help me do whatever I can do for this poor creature at the moment.
Rescue them please
These guys NEED a new safe home asap. I don’t have any room and can’t afford to pick them up but I refuse to stand by and hope someone will come across the post
From what I can tell there is 2 juvenile bearded dragons and 1 adult bearded dragon all together in a 20 gallon tank.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP THEM
I might take this gecko from someone who is rehoming her, does her tail look okay?
Somebody I know is rehoming their leopard gecko, and he just sent me pictures of her. She’s apparently about a year old and he claims that she’s healthy but her tail looks a little alarming to me. Is this an issue? Is she just obese? I would love to take her but if she’s sick then I’m somewhat worried
what can i keep in this tank
(not this tank but it looks like it)
it measures at a 54 gallon
(39"x 27¼"× 23") i want to keep some type of lizard but i feel like i dont have a lot of options due to the little floor space i would like a monitor but no monitor is fitting into this and i was wondering on what could fit inside that looked like a monitor and is fun to handle
Vitamin D3 overdose… spontaneous recovery? What would you do?
Please no judgement. As you can imagine this is already very overwhelming right now, and I feel awful.
My boy Gumbo had a feeding Saturday, was normal until yesterday. He appeared to be on deaths door yesterday and today. All the classic D3 overdose signs. Weak. Lethargic. Twitches. Not coming out. Staying in the cool / wet hide. Difficulty holding himself up. Today, the ENTIRE day he came out -once- , wobbled over to his water looking confused, barely got one blep and wobbled back. I called 6 vets and the soonest I could get was tomorrow morning, an hour away, for $450.
I was reading up that a soak would be best because he’s definitely having trouble hydrating himself. WELL… Suddenly, you would never be able to tell he had any issues. Climbed right up onto me. Stood himself up fine. Strength and coordination 100% normal. Walking fine, no wobble. Breathing fine!!
Obviously I still intend to see the vet, but I’m wondering if anyone’s experienced something similar??? Also, there’s a vet who can do a home visit Thursday morning for $275. I save money, less stress taking him in the car that far, etc…
I love my boy. If I have to spend $100000 to keep him safe and comfortable, I will. If it’s actually possible that he’s already recovering and it can wait until Thursday, that would be ideal. Then I’d also have more $$$ toward the actual treatment. All factors considered, what does Reddit think? ETA: I’m essentially asking if it’s possible that he’s recovering on his own, or if this is not going to be resolved without a vet and if even though he seems fine, if postponing it will make it worse.
What other reptiles would benefit from this enclosure?
Our beardie is getting up there in years, she'll be 11 in a few months. We're wondering what other kind of reptiles would benefit from an enclosure of this size. It's very wide, very tall and I don't think I would ever have the heart to get another bearded dragon. Sneaks is just the best 😩 she uses this whooooole space, climbing around like a jungle gym.
I'll add that I can also seal this cabinet and there is an area for a water feature to be installed in the bottom left portion of it, so more tropical species aren't out of the question. Thanks everyone!

Would be a help if you support me on instagram : )
People with the green tree python, how long are their enclosure?
Do they have to be at least the total length of the snake like how all snakes have, or is it different?
And I’ve seen a growing number of people letting their snakes wonder around with supervision, so do you guys do it with your green beans?
Ideally I’ll have a Male so he’ll be smaller, let out once a month or more so things can move inside and he can pooop properly.
