Im getting a capptive born and bread indonesian blue toungue in a few days and i have a ready 160,60cm bio active terrarium. I have a loot of places that it can hide and its escape proof but will it maybe be difficult for it to find its water and food bowl. I have heard that this can be a problem with things such as cresties. Im not really that worried im just making sure. Also sorry if my english is bad, its my second language
I'm thinking of making a tropical vivarium and wondering if I can grow some native ferns in it because they look very similar, specifically sword Fern. I'm in British Columbia and there is a ton of these.
So I used to struggle with humidity before but just got my ball into his new pvc inclosure today and I’m realizing that it’s too humid in there. So does anyone have any tips for lowering the humidity?
Edit 1: Formatting. This obviously has nothing to do with employment but I can't edit the flair now that it's been posted.
Edit 2: I didn't expect so many people to reply, thank you all! My friend's son gave his wife a different story, so they had a talk among themselves and are starting to accept that their son was being a little so-and-so. His wife and I spoke on the phone and she was very apologetic - As it stands, we're going to have another talk and try to figure something out. I'll update this post if anything interesting happens. Thanks again!
I keep snakes, lizards and frogs. Most of them are safe, if a bit bitey, but a select few can make you terribly ill if you handle them incorrectly - For this reason, their room has a sign saying "Exotics room / Dangerous animals / Keep out" - It's a bit dramatic, but it gets the job done. Visitors are also warned beforehand that a few rooms in my house are off limits, though each room also has a sign.
Last Friday, my friend popped in to say hi and catch up. He had just picked his son up from school, so he was there and glued to his father. Eventually, his son needed to go to the bathroom, so I told him where to go and carried on as I was.
Shortly after we heard the toilet flush, we heard a loud THUNK followed by screaming. We rushed upstairs to find the door to my exotics room open and my GTP's enclosure face down on the ground! My friend took his child (shaken and crying, but unharmed) downstairs while I sorted everything out.
The enclosure is a large box, mostly acrylic glass. The front opens into two doors, which do not open all the way and broke off during the fall. The enclosure itself isn't that heavy, but the parts inside (wood, perch, decoration and enrichment) are quite heavy on their own and seem to be what did most of the damage.
The injuries my snake sustained are quite severe. His right eye was destroyed (it's too early to tell whether or not it will need to be removed), his skull and jaw are broken, his spine is broken in several places, and a few sections of skin/scales were destroyed (some of it will improve after future sheds, while some of it will probably be permanent).
The doors will need to be fixed and a few bits and pieces were broken, but I have a lot of unused/backup stuff so replacing/fixing things shouldn't be a problem. I'm only concerned about my snake - His overall condition is quite stable right now, but I'm having to work with the veterinarian quite closely to e
