Any tips on controlling live crickets as feed for reptiles ?

Question by Lisa T: Any tips on controlling live crickets as feed for reptiles ?
The little critters just escape when I open their container to give them gut loading food and even more so when I try and transfer a few of them to a little container to dust them with calcium prior to feeding to our leopard gecko. Any of you experienced reptile keepers out there have any helpful advice, please ?

Best answer:

Answer by Samanamantha
I purchase crickets and transport them in a plastic bag, yours is probobly the same manner. I simply open the bag, it is large enough that they cannot jump out, and quickly pour in the vitamins and calcium-both in powder form. I shake the bag a little bit to coat all the crickets. If you must gut load, purchase a small tank or other enclosure that could actually contain the crickets. You must dump them in the enclosure quickly and seal it. Some are bound to escape anyway.Use a net, like a goldfish net, to scoop some up and place c=something over it, like a piece of cardboard, to prevent them from jumping out of the net. I hope this helps.

What types of reptiles can be housed in a 55 gallon tank?

Question by : What types of reptiles can be housed in a 55 gallon tank?
I am going to buy a 55 gallon tank and all of the equipment needed. I was wondering what type of reptiles can be housed in a 55 gallon tank?

Best answer:

Answer by Ashley
You can get a turtle, fish
Gecko, lizard, snake, rats(i know, not a reptile), bearded dragon

Just make sure you do the proper research. In general, aquatic animals like turtles are much more work. Their tanks have to be cleaned at least weekly and they are fed every day. Reptiles are much more low maintenance but can be less fun to watch.
Chose the pet that’s right for you

I don’t understand your question but I think I can help.

Well in the reptile room

-Uncle Montgomery (Monty) dies/ Gets Murdered.
-Count Olaf disguises himself as Uncle Montgomery’s Asisitant (Stephano).
- Count Olaf and on of his accociates (Hooky) murder Uncle Monty using poision extract that was saved in a bottle.
-The Baudelaire orphans are sent somewhere else.
-The Baudelaire Children suffer a lot from Uncle Monty’s death.
-Hooky disguises himself as Dr.Lucafont and helps Count Olaf try to get the Baudelaire fortune
-The Baudelaire Children try to atch count Olaf and Hooky but they couldn’t
-Count Olaf murdered Uncle Monty’s old asistant so he hould disguise himself as Stephano to get the Baudelaires in his clutches.
-The Baudelaires prove the Stephona is count olaf by revealing his tatoo of an eye on his ankle with a piece of cloth since the tatoo was covered with make-up.
- Violet invents a lockpick to open count Olaf’s (Stephano’s) Briefcase to look for any evidence he is Count Olaf and if he murdered Uncle Monty.

This is all I could think of. I’ll add more later.

Hope This Helps with your report

by madaise

Question by Helen♥: What are all the different types of reptiles you can keep as a pet?
I posted a question like this before saying instead of reptiles farm animals. But i’ve decided I want a reptile instead. So I found out you can keep alligators and crocodiles, chameleons,iguanas, other reptiles(frogs, crabs), snakes, spiders and turtles. Are there any other kinds of reptiles I can keep?

Best answer:

Answer by Cynthia
#1 there is no such thing as a chemeleons…it’s chelonians
#2 FROGS ARE NOT reptiles…they are amphibians!!
#3 turtles are cheloians
#4 spiders are not reptiles!
good reptile pets would be snakes…cuz they are easy to mantain and to clean and they only need to b fed once a week.
Also geckos are good pets…reptiles are basically ideal pets…if u can handle feeding a snake live mice. I would not recommend crocs, or alligators.

How would I start a profitable reptile rescue?

Question by Amber: How would I start a profitable reptile rescue?
There’s lots of advice and websites for starting a nonprofit reptile rescue, but what if I wanted to start a profitable rescue center? Or is there even such a thing? any websites would be helpful. Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by G C
I’ve never heard of such a thing, but if you’re into snakes and such, I suppose you could rid people’s houses of snakes and sell the “rescues” to a pet store for profit, or even open your own reptilian pet store.

If you’re into snakes and such, and have a ‘non-profit’ reptile rescue, you could deduct all sorts of things from your taxes while keeping your ‘pets’ to yourself.

Q&A: How to ship reptile pets to other states and overseas?

Question by ஓம் நம சிவாய: How to ship reptile pets to other states and overseas?
My friend Alex breeds and raises different kinds of snakes, lizards and amphibians. Normally he sells them locally but has recently gotten requests to sell to other states and even overseas but he is afraid to ship them so far. Both me and Alex love the pets he breeds and Alex does not want them to be under stress or harm. Is there a way to ship a reptile without causing it to much stress, how would you do this?

Best answer:

Answer by Jaymie
I only know how to ship snakes. I’m sure there wouldn’t be to much of a difference in shipping many other different reptiles. With a snake you need a small box, news paper, cheese cloth and tape. Take the news paper and crumple it all into balls, then fill the box half way with the crumpled news paper balls, place the snake into cheese cloth and tie the top so the snake can not get out, place the snake and cheese cloth into the box and fill the box the rest of the way up with news paper. Then tape the box up. Your friend is going to have to send the snake over night or there is more risk of the snake not making it to you in good health. I breed snakes and i have sent a few snakes this way. It has always worked for me. Good luck!
