>The Solomon Islands skink (Corucia zebrata), also known as prehensile-tailed skink, monkey-tailed skink, giant skink, zebra skink, and monkey skink, is an arboreal species of skink endemic to the Solomon Islands archipelago. It is the largest known extant species of skink.
I was at the pet store buying crickets, when I saw a hamster ball.
I am worried about my frog not getting enough exercise. He loves climbing all over walls. Could I put him in a small hamster ball? Has anyone tried sticking a frog in a hamster ball for excersize?
>>2047672
That seems like a bad idea.

Why are animal blood sports illegal? Is it more the illegal gambling behind them, or are people actually concerned about animals?
Cock fighting is illegal in most developed countries, bullfighting is under attack, dog fighting is super illegal, and even hare coursing, letting your dog chase rabbits, is illegal in many countries.
Are these laws necessary?
>>2049397
(you)
>>2049397
No they are not necessary . I fight chickens and I love the sport. I don't care for dog fighting but I don't stop others from doing it.
Given the chance to kill all the world's pigeons, would you take it?
>>2041774
No but Canada geese I would in a heart beat.
No, I'm a peaceful man.
>>2041774
Bees and spiders yes
The greatest battle of our time. Who wins?
>>2036621
Hippos fuck up everything. Why would you give them 3?
>>2036623
I'd say it balances out. 2 isn't enough and 4 is absolutely too many.
I mean, a warmed up triceratops is just on a whole different level from all of this.

/aq/ has been going on for years, deal with it.
Anyone know hoe to control aggression in these faggots? I had 4 many years ago, got them as juveniles, ended up getting 2 males 2 females.
I know the m/f ratio was off, but is there any other way of dulling their aggression?
Hey /an, I really need some help.
So Im 18 and I just got my first reptile ever.
She is a 2 week old or so Leopard Geko
This is my 10 galon tank with a Heat mat, 2 hides, a calcium dish and water.

I own llamas. Ask me anything
any particular reason you decided to into llamas?

I trained and showed them since I was 8. A family friend introduced me and I've loved them ever since

Did you ever get with Jimmy's mom?
I was at a local fishstore with my wife getting the fish for our new tank and saw a large tadpole in one of their tanks.
Apparently it came in with the goldfish and they didn't know what to do with it. I have had tadpoles in the past so said i would pay whatever they wanted, manager told me to take it and pay them back by giving updates on it.
Any ideas on identifying tadpoles? Pic related. It is 2-2 1/2 in long.
This thread has future fighting with bugguy written all over it
>>2047389
prolly just a bullfrog.
they're sold in fish stores in the US pretty often.
That's a bullfrog tadpole, most likely.
You'll need to keep a very close eye on your ammonia and nitrite levels. They have a low tolerance for toxins in the water.
Have you guys seen this?

This lady has written a number of books about rats, proclaims to be an expert. Hell even I have followed a lot of her advice. Now it turns out she's been doing illegal surgeries for people, she is NOT a vet nor does she have ANY licensing...and sometimes without anaesthesia?? And when she does use anaesthesia it's isofluorane on a cotton ball apparently.
This is absolutely out of control, I am floored.
She was kicked out the World Pet...

she knows rats aren't conscious so they can't feel pain.
>>2046636
Um. What? If she's doing it without anaesthesia, they are most definitely conscious. Not sure what you mean lol
Is it possible that bettas are territorial because we've accidentally bred them this way by keeping them in tiny cups their entire lives? Think of how many generations of bettas have been bred and kept in tiny cups. You would be aggressive and territorial too if you were kept in a closet your whole life and then expected to share a big room with a bunch of other people. I can't help but to feel that we're to blame.
bettas were bred for fighting, to be aggressive and territorial.
Like roosters for rooster fights or Pokemon.
Asians just hate animals desu.
>>2048217
No. They're naturally territorial in the wild. Also wild bettas don't look anything like the bettas we buy in stores.
>>2048233
yes, but they won't fight till death.

How come some pet stores sell arowanas for only 30 bucks when they get so fuckhuge that theres barely anyone who can keep them properly?
>>2046814
Nigga they sell breed of knife fish that get huge as shit for 15 dollars and oscars for 5 dollars and they can easily get 14+ inches
>>2046814
Why do you ask this about arowana? You can get pacu anywhere for a third that price, and they get even bigger and are goddamn schooling fish
Why are Goldfish so inferior to Bettas in every way?

Bettas are gay ass meme fish.

I feel like /an/ won't mind if I dump pics and gush over this guy.
I adopted him noon today. He got along great with my bf's dog, he's a 2 year old healthy Irish Wolfhound supposedly Great Pyrenees mix, but I'll leave that judgement to you guys (and the vet). His shelter name is Amos which I'm thinking of keeping cuz it sounds fine with Reptar. Other options aren't sticking as well, Rufus, Scruffy, Bear, Sully, Maccon, meh.
He's such a sweet, well mannered gentle giant. I'm so happy I scooped this one up ;-; he heels when...

Btw Reptar is my bf's dog's name.
I need some help on this one because I am totally perplexed on how this happened. Is this what a chewed collar looks like?
Before leaving for work this morning, I couldn't find my house key. It fell off the key ring the night before
I live in a pretty big complex, lots of apartments so I think to myself, "you can leave the door unlocked, what are the chances"
I also have a Siberian Husky that I leave out all day.
Come home from work and find her collar severed.
Doesn't look like it has been chewed (but not ruling it out)
Nothing...

I hope you weren't that attached OP, someone stole your expensive-ass dog to sell for crack money. Check shelters in your area, but be prepared to never see that dog again because some nigga clearly cut that collar off.
>>2047228
Dog is still here. Everything is untouched. Nothing out of place.
