sulcata tortoiseSulcata Tortoise Pet Owners Guide. The Captive Care of Sulcata Tortoises. Sulcata Tortoise care, behavior, enclosures, feeding, health, costs, myths and interaction.Most large tortoises are popular with turtle enthusiasts, but Sulcatas are undoubtedly the most beloved of all. Given their impressive size, gentle personalities and attractive markings, this should not be surprising. Unfortunately, many people acquire sulcatas without first learning about their needs, which often leads to frustrated keepers and neglected tortoises. As when caring for any animal as a pet, keepers must learn as much as possible about the biology, behavior and ecology of the species, in order to provide them the highest quality of life possible. Begin that journey inside, by learning about sulcatas, their place in the world and how to provide them with an artificial habitat that meets their needs.

bearded dragonBearded Dragon Care. Bearded Dragon Pet Owners Guide. Bearded Dragon care, behavior, diet, interacting, costs and health. Bearded dragon.As the reptile-keeping hobby has grown, keepers and breeders have sought species that thrive best in the captive habitat. Bearded Dragons are one of the best examples of this. Beautiful, tame and interesting, bearded dragons certainly draw a considerable amount of interest from reptile enthusiasts, but it is their moderate size, hardy nature and generalist feeding habits that make them so well-suited for captivity. However, bearded dragons do require habitats and husbandry regimens that satisfy their needs. Accordingly, it is imperative that would-be bearded dragon keepers learn as much as possible about these remarkable lizards, to ensure their pet enjoys the highest quality of life possible.

green tree pythons Green Tree Pythons As Pets. Green Tree Python Comprehensive Owner's Guide. Green Tree Pythons care, behavior, enclosures, feeding, health, myths and interaction all included.Green tree pythons are simply amazing animals. Wildly popular among snake enthusiasts, these beautiful animals are truly unique. Starring at one of these emerald green snakes transports the observer to a faraway and unfamiliar place, where these snakes have lived for millions of years - the rainforests of New Guinea and Australia. Green tree pythons have adapted to their rainforest habitat in a variety of fascinating and puzzling ways. They blend seamlessly with the green canopy as adults, yet they start life as bright yellow or red babies. They are incredibly athletic snakes, but they remain motionless while hunting. They are completely at ease in the trees, although the mothers venture to the ground to deposit their eggs. These nuanced adaptations that have allowed green tree pythons to survive in the wild, and they have made them popular among snake keepers as well. Unfortunately, it took several decades of effort to devise the basic husbandry protocol for green tree pythons; but, thanks to the work of countless zookeepers, breeders and hobbyists, green tree pythons are now relatively well understood and widely available to snake enthusiasts. While they are not an ideal species for first time snake keepers, those who have already kept a few pet snakes are likely to succeed with these beautiful serpents and be forever changed by them.About the authors:Marvin Murkett is an experienced writer and a true animal lover.

Monitor lizards are some of the most exciting captives that reptile enthusiasts can keep.

Nevertheless, even the smallest species require relatively large cages and inordinate amounts of food, so keepers must consider the acquisition of a monitor lizard carefully. For those that choose to add a monitor lizard to their family, it is imperative to learn about the biology, natural history and habitats of these remarkable lizards. By doing so, you can gain a better understanding of their needs, allowing you to keep your pet happy and healthy for many years.

The Ragdoll cat is very good with children, with whom it develops a very strong bond because of its playful and calm nature. I happen to have had parents who were very fond of cats, to a point where they kept different cat breeds at any given time. Our home was similar to a cattery. The experience of living with such diverse cat breeds, as I now realize, was very beneficial. Not only did I become fond of cats, I have gone a step further and ventured into breeding and showing cats.Although I am fond of a few cat breeds because of their intelligence and attention that they seek and offer, the Ragdoll cat breed remains one of my favourites. Of all cat breeds that I have lived with and kept as pets, I have never come across a cat as expressive as the Ragdoll. Perhaps the joy of living with a Ragdoll cat is not only its beauty but also in its habit of collapsing in your hands as if it is lifeless. The person who gave it its name chose it cleverly to suit this cat.
