What is the best gecko or other small reptile for a beginning reptile keeper that is relatively cheap not counting snakes because my boyfriend won't let me have one. One of my local pet stores has tokay geckos and leopard geckos the other one has a c
Leopard geckos are great "starter" reptiles. They don't require special lighting (UVB) like other reptiles. A 20 gallon tank is big enough for one. Add a heat source, hides and a water bowl and you are good to go. You can review gecko care at the links below. http://www.reptilesmagazine.com/Care-Sheets/Lizards/Leopard-Gecko/ http://www.anapsid.org/leopardgek.html

I am about to graduate from college and will be moving back home to be with my mom who has cancer. I have a frog and a bearded dragon. Is it safe for them to be in the house with my mother?
Hello, and thanks for using Boop by Petco. While I would recommend your mother consult with her doctor about their recommendations for her, I see no reason why they couldn't be in the house. However, be aware that Salmonella bacteria is part of the natural skin flora of many reptiles, so I would take that into consideration and limit her contact with the pets. But, again, her doctor would be the best person to offer her guidelines. Hope this helps.

How would I transport by bearded dragon? I'm mainly thinking of vet visits which is about a 25 minute drive. I'm concerned for when I have to take him during the winter since he's still pretty young. Any tips to keep him calm in his carrier would be
Hi there! There are many great commercially-produced reptile carriers out there, but my preference are the kind that have three covered sides and a clear or mesh front. Keeping them calm during travel is important, and preventing them from seeing everything going on outside can be helpful for this. Additionally, getting Clyde adjusted to the carrier before travel is a good idea. Try putting a treat that he likes in the carrier, and allowing him to venture inside on his own. Associating the carrier with a snack may also help to minimize stress in the future. Good luck, and I hope Clyde's future vet visits go well!

Carmine The Grey Tree Frog is constipated. It seems he is unable to go poop and is a bit bloated. He will not eat anything. He usually eats wax worms.
Check humidity and temperature in the enclosure. Either can affect activity, appetite and digestion. Soak him in a warm solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte. A gentle abdominal massage during the soak may stimulate defecation. Be sure to use dechlorinated (or otherwise conditioned) water for the soak. You will need to see your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating amphibians if the appetite does not return.

Hello, I am a bird owner to a conure and cockatiel. One of my classmates is looking to rehome their gecko and as I'm a fan of exotic pets I'm looking into what sort of care and such they would need. One thing I found is that many reptiles carry salmo
Hello. It is very important that you always wash your hands after handling any reptile & before handling your birds or any materials belonging to the birds. I do not think you need to keep the gecko in a separate room, just use common sense care & everyone will stay safe & healthy. Thanks for contacting Boop by Petco.
