This thread is dedicated to all animals of the Reptilia and Amphibia classes. Topics include, but are not limited to: geckos, snakes of all kinds, frogs, salamanders, newts, turtles, tortoises, and much more. Before asking a question, do a search on the internet to see if it has been answered
Classifieds for finding breeders and products:

Most forums will have a "for sale" section on them, so look for that, especially if you have a specific herp you want. Craigslist can also be a good source for cheap aquariums, and make sure to check for any reptile expos that occur in your area.
When asking a question, make sure to include these details:
>Type and size of animal
>Enclosure dimensions
>Humidity and temperature
>Type of substrate

You have to go back. Also, there's enough eyewitness accounts and logical arguments for its existence to not be considered paranormal. Also, they probably have a higher cortical neuron count as their brains are massive.

Why wont they simply die?
i dont want pets anymore, im really burned out
but ive had her for nearly 20 years now so i cant just give her away
im so burned out from picking up dog shit, having to know where she is, whats she doing, etc
i miss the dog free lifestyle, i pretty much cucked my 20s and 30s because of me getting this dog when i moved out at 18
tfw i cant rewind time to my 20s and be dog free
I really dont understand what people get out of owing dogs or any pets for that matter
its a gigantic waste of time, energy, resources....all of which could be spent better in other ways
Who is Jefrey (with one F) and why should you care?
He was found abandoned in some bushes late one night, filthy and covered in fleas back in mid-July 2024. He’s growing up fast, and enjoys car rides, climbing trees, fetching his ball, playgrounds, and capybaras. Some believe him to be a goblin or gremlin. He was named after the Pixies song “Space (I Believe In)”.
Jefrey suffers from severe ear-ectile dysfunction.
Originally posted him here back in July 2024 seeking advice for potential health problems due to his folded ears, some /an/ons wanted more of him, and so now you’re stuck with him.

>The Cappaert family's attorney decried that the Supreme Court had chosen the interests of a fish over people, and a newspaper editor from nearby Pahrump threatened to dump a pesticide into Devils Hole to kill them all.[55] In response to bumper stickers that read "Save the Pupfish" distributed by the Desert Fishes Council, Nye County Commissioner Robert Rudd produced bumper stickers that said "Kill the Pupfish".[56] The Cappaert family sold the ranch in the late 1970s.[55]

The Song Dog Shootout is about local predator control and nothing more, Busselle said.
As they have in years past, residents organized the hunt because the area’s coyote population has boomed, and coyotes are killing pets, livestock and poultry, Busselle said.
“The coyotes have gotten really bad here,” she said. “It (the hunting contest) is nothing more than predator management.”
Busselle said that one person in particular, Austin, Texas-based social media influencer Jonas Black, has been spreading misinformation about the Song Dog Shootout.
Because of backlash over the coyote hunt, Busselle said that she and some people close to her have been flooded with angry, and sometimes threatening, phone calls and messages as a result.

>Having identified the night parrots by sound, the team moved on to studying threats to the endangered species using camera traps. They found that dingoes were the most present predators in the area—but the large, wild dogs were busy eating feral cats, which the team suspects are the real key predators of night parrots. So dingoes, they suggest, are actually protecting the night parrot population.

Other canids like coyotes and huskies also help keep the outdoor cat population in check.

I won't be original or diverse in my choice. Mostly various moderate-sized Carnosaurs (with a couple exceptions) to give them another chance.
- Allosaurus (all three known species)
- Sinraptor
- Neovenator
- Concavenator
- Metriacantosaurus
- Carcharodonthosaurus
- Saurophaganax (if it exists, if not - than Megalosaurus)
- Yutyrannus (HONORARY "Carnosaur" for the cold climate)

>Results say soem shit like "No it's a wild animal and does not make a good." And so on and so on
>Videos I see online with people keekping the animals as pets say otherwise
I'm convinced theirs just some kind of scheme going on here. I get that the average person probably can't keep most animals as pets but if you put in the effort there's no reason it shouldn't be possible.
Of course excluding money and ludicrous animals like Gorillas, Chimps and lions.

It started weeks ago with just a few mice, I kept catching and throwing them out, but the were coming back, or new ones kept coming. I didn't want to use poison, because when one died it took me days to find while I couldn't stand the smell and I also watched a mouse who ate too little poison dying for hours. they unsurprisingly reproduced and now there's a shitload of small mice running around and droppings everywhere, I suspect that now there's probably almost 20 of mice total and I'm losing my mind. I now finally managed to find and close up the probable openings they used and I'm wondering what to do with them. I'd like to avoid killing them if possible, because the small ones are very trusting and even try to huddle up to me if I sit still (I know they're just vermin and I'm being retarded, but still), but throwing them out at this point is probably a bad death sentence anyway.
I wonder if it's feasible to keep them in a huge cage throughout the winter, but I suspect they'll suffer in captivity and it'd be more humane to kill them. if so, what's the best way to do it to ensure they won't decompose in various nooks?
I'll make you this new one.

Speculative evolution is the exploration and imagining of how life might evolve in the future or could have evolved in alternate pasts. It's a multimedia sci-fi genre that harnesses scientific principles to create detailed and plausible hypothetical creatures, ecosystems, and evolutionary histories.

My goal is something that is low maintenance and I plan on making a bioactive set up.
Also will I need an anti-vibration pad or will an aquarium leveling mat work?
What can I do to make the dog fuck off while we're there? I want to avoid actually harming him, but fuck me he's the worst little shit I've ever dealt with. Never thought I'd meet a dog I didn't like until they decided to buy his retarded ass from a puppy mill.
