Tiger Salamander

A tiger salamander is a salamander from the mole salamander family. It is the largest of the mole salamanders it is often kept as a pet because it is easy to care for, and its striking pattern. Tiger salamanders usually eat crickets in captivity but in the wild it will eat anything that can fit in its mouth. You should feed your salamander crickets and pinkie mice a pinkie mouse is a baby mouse frozen and then thawed out for your pet to eat only feed your pet a pinkie mouse as a treat pinkie mice are high in fat. Tiger salamanders can't have tank mates because of their size and appetite the only tank mates that they can have is each other, make sure if you get two they are the same size bigger ones will eat smaller ones you cannot have fish with tiger salamanders also you cannot have other amphibians because of toxins. Tiger salamanders are not aquatic or semiaquatic they are terrestrial, terrestrial means lives on land you should put substrate so your tiger salamander can burrow thats why they are part of the mole family. But for water just put a water dish so your tiger salamander can soak in the water you can use distilled water or tap water treated with aqua safe and also you should mist the soil and the cage. Your tiger salamander should have a ten gallon tank make sure you have a lid so your salamander can't escape. A water dish is important because a tiger salamander needs to soak in the water substrate is important because this salamander likes to burrow plants are not important but it makes the tank look nice.

Crayfish Care Sheet



Crayfish are very easy to care for, they do not require much care they are invasive species to america and it is illegal to transport these in the united states they are very common in america. They are found in states like California, Louisiana, and Florida I caught one in Penryn California at my great grandmas house.

FEEDING

Crayfish enjoy algae and fish in the wild they will eat tadpoles, fish, and algae goldfish are the main fish you can feed your crayfish but fish should not be fed to them alive, dead or almost dead are a better option since crayfish are slow slower prey is better algae is the best food. A stable diet of fish is not healthy for your crayfish.

HOUSING

Housing a crayfish is easy you need a five or ten gallon tank, gravel and maybe a filter. If you get a ten gallon tank put gravel in a slope make sure it is high enough so the crayfish can be completely covered but not to steep that the crayfish can't get up remember the water has to be as high or higher then the crayfish.

I hope you enjoyed this blog as much as I enjoyed making it Lizy signing out


African Dwarf Frogs

A african dwarf frog is a small aquatic frog it is often kept as a pet because it is easy to care for. On this you will read about african dwarf frogs. African dwarf frogs eat frozen bloodworms thawed out and reptomin baby but reptomin baby falls apart reptomin baby looks like a small rabbit pellet. African dwarf frogs need one gallon per frog this frog is only one inch in length a aquarium is good, but make sure it has a screen on top this frog can jump or a Critter Keeper will work it comes with plastic container and a plastic top. African dwarf frogs don't like tank mates but here are some tips, don't get any large fish that will hurt your frog or eat it don't get goldfish they need cold water while the frogs need warm water two good tank mates another african dwarf frog these frogs like company, betas will not hurt your african dwarf frogs though they have been known to attack other fish but it will not attack your frog because the frog is not colorful betas only attack if it is colorful. do not put african clawed frogs in there they will hurt your frog, also don't put any amphibians in the tank they can poison your frog. Gravel at the bottom of the tank is good it makes the tank look good but it also makes the tank harder to clean out plants are also very important the frogs hide in the plants make sure you get plants if you get a fish Terra Cora pots can be purchased from a craft store for 50 cents turned sideways it is a good hideout for them. These frogs are fully aquatic but doesn't mean there the best swimmers sixteen inches high of water is good but one foot high is the best spring water is the best water for them or tap water with conditioner is good put Aqua Safe in the tap water or Reptisafe will work. Hope you enjoyed I will see you later bye

Garter Snake Care



FEEDING-

Feeding a Garter snake is easy, but there are some foods that can be dangerous to your pet. Some of the main feeding animals are goldfish, feeder guppies, mice, frogs, and toads. Goldfish are a bad option for your snake because they carry parasites and diseases that can make your snake sick. Most of the time  people feed their snake frogs and toads they catch in the wild but do not feed your snake wild caught frogs and toads because they can carry parasites and diseases and captive bred snakes catch these diseases easily. Feeder guppies are what I feed my Garter snake. They are less then and inch long so you should buy around nine. They are not fattening to your snake. Mice are the least problematic food for your snake, they are fattening  but not too fattening for your snake. Pinkies are good for smaller snakes around twenty inches, when it is an adult you should feed it frozen mice. You should not feed it live mice since Garter snakes have been found injured or even dead from trying to swallow a live meal. For a snake around twenty inches you should feed it eight feeder guppies a week, or five goldfish, or two Pinkie mice. I tried to feed my Garter snake Pinkie mice but they died in the cage.

HOUSING-

Your snake should have ten to twenty gallons of space and although Garter snakes aren't as strong as Constrictors they can still push the top of the tank off if it's not secure. Having a lid is very important because snakes around twenty inches can escape a tank and Garter snakes like to climb on top of the tank and hang there so they can easily escape. If you are worried about your snake escaping you should get a large Critter Keeper, they are nearly escape proof because the lid snaps on.

LIGHTING-

Garter snakes do not need a light unless you live somewhere where it is cold. They can digest their food without a light or a heating pad. These snakes are the first to get out of hibernation, sometimes even when there is still snow on the ground.

TANK STUFF-

Garter snakes don't need much stuff in their tank. All they need is a large water dish to hold the fish that they eat and to soak in because Garter snakes like water. They also need a hideout and substrate. The best substrates are Eco Earth or paper towels.

Alligator Lizard Care Sheet



Alligator lizards make great pets usually on the internet they cost fifty to two thousand dollars depending on different species, or the cheapest way to get them is from your backyard. They are very easy to care for and make fun pets.

FEEDING-

Feeding an Alligator lizard is easy, they can eat crickets mealworms and pinkie mice. The pinkie mice are high in fat so these should only be a treat for adult alligator lizards every couple weeks. You should feed your lizard every day if it is a baby around five crickets, for adults feed them every four days  around ten crickets. You can feed them mealworms but mealworms have a hard exoskeleton on the outside of their body these should not be fed to them very often.

HOUSING-

Alligator lizards need ten gallons of space per lizard. A glass tank works well or a ten gallon Critter Keeper but with a Critter Keeper you cannot use a heating pad.

HEATING AND LIGHTING-

Alligator lizards need a light and a heating pad or they cannot digest their food properly. Half of the tank should have a heat pad or you could get a 100 watt light bulb, if you get both put them on the same side.

TANK STUFF-

The things in your tank should be substrate the best kind is Eco Earth. You should have hideouts for your lizards comfort and also a climbing spot. Mine is always climbing on his hideout.

Pacman Frog Care Sheet



A Pacman frog is a large frog often kept as a pet because it is easy to care for and it is fun to watch   eat.

FEEDING-

These frogs will eat anything that can fit in their mouth, frogs are even called walking stomachs. Adult Pacman frogs eat crickets, mealworms, pinkie mice, and adult mice. Baby Pacman frogs eat crickets, mealworms, and pinkie mice; if you give him crickets or mealworms remove them because they can bite your frog. Do not over feed your frog that can lead to obesity.

HOUSING-

Pacman frogs need a ten gallon tank per frog, if you pick a aquarium make sure you get a lid so nothing comes in and nothing goes out. Critter keepers also will work great just make sure it's ten gallons.

TANK STUFF-

A water dish is important so the frog can soak in it. Soil is important because like the Tiger salamander, Pacman frogs like to burrow in it. The best kind is Eco Earth, do not use garden soil.  Plants are optional but you should put them in there so that way your frog feels more at home. The water in the dish should be distilled water or tap water with Aqua Safe in it.
