How to tell if my snake is overheating from a new heating mat?
The addition of an under-tank heater can change the temperature of an enclosure significantly. To determine what the temperatures are within Ladon's enclosure, I would recommend utilizing digital thermometers. These should be located on both the warm and cool end of the enclosure, and should be located at Ladon's level (not higher or lower than him). With that information, you can tell if the temperatures are now too hot or not. I would also recommend that you have hides present on both the cool end and on the warm end - this will provide Ladon with choices within his enclosure as well. With the water bowl, this may also be related to his enclosure temperature. I would recommend monitoring for any changes once you have determined if the temperatures are appropriate for his species. You can refer to a care sheet if needed to gather temperature information. I hope that answers your question, and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Why is my green tree python dull? Is it shedding or needs substrate?
Snakes typically do not need supplements or extra vitamins. If she is looking dull it is most likely because she is getting ready to shed. Another possibility is improper cage lighting. Do you have a full spectrum lamp on her cage? That helps bring out their coloration. I would recommend coconut husk for a substrate to help hold the moisture in the cage so humidity levels will be adequate. Here is a full care sheet that may answer more of your questions. ( http://www.reptilesmagazine.com/Care-Sheets/Snakes/Green-Tree-Python/ ) Hope this helps. Best wishes.

My bearded dragon is inactive, not shedding, and rarely poops. What's wrong?
Thanks for your question about Tarzan. The lack of activity that you are describing may be normal for Tarzan, but when you then combine it with her not shedding and not going to the bathroom very often I begin to suspect that there is something else going on. I would recommend feeding Tarzan a small salad of dark leafy greens on a daily basis, with calcium supplementation 2-3 times per week based on her age. I would also recommend protein 2 times per week based on her age as well. You eluded to having recommended temperatures in the cage, but I didn't see how you were monitoring the temperatures or if there was UVB light provided. I would recommend monitoring using a digital thermometer and changing the UVB light every 4-6 months. I am glad that she seemed to be doing okay at her vet visit in the fall. I didn't see if blood work was performed, but that is something that I recommend for every reptile at regular intervals for wellness examinations, as reptiles are very good at hiding their illnesses from their owners. I would also consider performing radiographs (x-rays) if these haven't been performed previously, as well as a fecal examination. I hope that gives you a place to start, and that Tarzan feels better soon.

Is an outdoor branch safe for my moss ball instead of driftwood?
Thanks for reaching out about Juno. Regarding which type of wood to use, many wood can be toxic. The idea of driftwood is that they are dried, bleached and have soaked for extended periods of time to leach out potential toxins. As the sap leaches into the water, potential materials either toxic or dangerous to the biological filter could cause problems. The wood from fruit with pits (peach, nectarines, etc.) and applewood potential contain cyanide. Oak and other hard woods have resins that could affect fish. Good luck.

How to feed a red ear slider with pyramiding & choose a heat lamp?
A proper diet for red-eared sliders includes a complete pellet, such as those made by ReptoMin, and dark leafy green vegetables. This can be fed once per day, and the amount should be based on how many pellets Cooper can eat in 5-7 minutes. This is just a guideline, and your veterinarian can help you to determine if this is appropriate based on Cooper's body condition score (i.e. whether she is overweight or not). For a heat lamp - photo 1 just looks like the dome, and there doesn't appear to be a bulb in it. The second lamp looks like it is a daytime only heat lamp - it is often beneficial to have a heat source that can be used during the day or at night, and if that is what you are looking for, I would recommend a ceramic heat bulb. If you are looking for only a daytime basking bulb, there are many brands that would be appropriate. The key words that you should look for are "daytime basking bulb." For watts - it depends on how far the bulb is away from your turtle - there are some brands that have a chart on the side of the box that will give you distances and temperatures that correlate with the distance. This information, combined with your desired temperature for the basking area will help you to decide on what wattage to get. I hope that gives you more information!
