Crate Training Your Dog - FAQ'SFrequently asked questions about crate training your dog. Basic Aquarium PrinciplesStart with as large an aquarium as you can afford. There is a very BASIC rule of thumb (this only applies to beginners), that is to have 1 inch of narrow bodied fish per filtered aquarium gallon. Goldfish are dirty and fatter, so I would triple this with them. Californian Kingsnake Care (Lampropeltis getula californiae)Californian kingsnakes are the most commonly seen and bred of the kingsnake family in captivity. They are now available in a number of colour and pattern mutations, and have even been hybridized with many other species. They are a reptile eating species and are voracious feeders, but commonly take rodents in captivity. They are very hardy and can be expected to live for approximately 15 – 20 years, making them an excellent choice for a pet snake. African Fat Tail Gecko Care (Hemitheconyx caudicinctus)Fat tail geckos are common in captivity, although are not bred as efficiently as the leopard gecko. They are slightly harder to breed and are slower growing than leopard geckos. They are however, wonderful lizards and make excellent pets.

Never mind the popular images of domestic damsels in distress climbing on kitchen chairs while shrieking "Eek! A rat!" Forget all the rumors you heard about filthy vermin scurrying about, populating sewers and spreading diseases. If you ever experience the privilege of taming, keeping, and befriending domesticated or fancy rats, you will quickly forget all the urban rat legends you ever heard. Leopard Gecko Care (Eublepharis macularius)Leopard Geckos are the most commonly bred lizards in captivity. They are small, 20-25cm and make an ideal pet.

Dwarf Burmese Python Care (Python molurus bivittatus)For lovers of the huge Burmese pythons we all know and care about, who cannot afford the space that they need, a fantastic alternative has arrived. Dwarf Burmese Pythons were imported into the UK and USA for the first time in 2003. They occur from a small off-shore Island in South East Asia and grow to a maximum of 7feet. Adult males have bred at just 4feet, and females at 5feet. Royal (Ball) Python Care (Python regius)Royal pythons have become an extremely popular pet snake, particularly in the last decade. With the proper care, the reward of keeping these beautiful snakes is enormous, but I would like to stress that many individual specimens can be very fussy feeders. For that reason alone I believe this species is not an ideal beginners snake. Viper Boa Care (Candoia aspera aspera)Viper Boas are a wonderful species of snake to look at. They are very robust, with tough 'keeled' scales and an arrow like head. They are usually a fairly dull brown, although can be a wonderful bright red or orange. They do however, change colour with seasons, temperature and perhaps mood changes. Western Hognose Snake Care (Heterodon nasicus)Western Hognose snakes are a wonderful, small species of snake with lots of character. They have become more and more popular over the years and are now a commonly available species in the pet trade. In the wild they are known to feed on toads, lizard, snakes, eggs and even insects. In captivity however, they will regularly take to rodents. There are 3 subspecies of Western Hognose; the Plains Hognose Snake (Heterodon nasicus nasicus), the Dusty Hognose Snake (Heterodon nasicus gloydi) and Mexican Hognose Snake (Heterodon nasicus kennerlyi).

But a little puppy is like a baby, it needs to be well taught and trained so that both the owner and the pet live in harmony. Dogs: Bad BreathHave you ever wondered what is causing your dogs bad breath? It is probably caused by a buildup of tartar on his teeth, and possibly by advancing gum disease if the tartar has been building up, untreated, for a while. Throughout their lives, dogs get an accumulation of material called tartar on their teeth made up of mineral deposits, bacteria and tiny food particles. The bacteria break down the food particles and live on the rough surface of the mineral deposits. Pet Travel Anywhere in the WorldTravel is fun and frolic especially if you are going on a vacation.
