How about pics this time?! I recently got a few (awesome) new roommates...

Female Veiled Chameleon -- She wasn't happy when I took these, I figured she would like being outside, but no. Some people just can't be pleased. Although she did turn a bright green, so I must have done something right.

My fool, one year old male (horny) bearded dragon. He sleeps where he wants, when he wants. If you inturrupt him, he'll...well, probably do nothing..

Hey Valael,
You say your chameleon wasn't happy, but it's not pissed off either, this is what a pissed off female chameleon turns to when she sees a male...! :eek:

Actually, a lot of small herps don't like being outside because it makes them feel vulnerable... in the wild, they have to be on the lookout for hawks, owls, larger carnivorous mammals, etc etc, and being out in the open in broad daylight like that can make them feel terribly exposed... I know it used to make my Ribbon Snake VERY nervous, so I stopped doing it...

Well, at Chameleonsonline.com they suggest bringing it out occasionally for some natural sunlight.

But they also suggest you have a light weight enclosure, or a whole different one for outside.

She just doesn't like people in general and often proves the "Veiled chameleons are the most aggressive" thing..

Mister Internet

Yeah, I don't know anythign about chameleons, that's why I just said "small herps" :) I know snakes get really nervous outside...

Hi, Saviour-

In general, typing in capitals is considered shouting, and is plain unnacceptable in any message boards or forums.

Just to let you know.

It's a genetically bred HAIRLESS rat. I don't shave her, if that's what you're wondering ;)

I picked a hairless rat over a haired one for a few reasons:
1) No allergy problems from any of my friends.
2) No shedding.
3) She doesn't need baths too often.

Fluffy's absolutely adorable. You have to agree ;)

HEre is Comet when he was a year old, my dad threw a bandaid on the toilet lid (it was meant to go IN the bowl) and so my cat went onto the lid to play w/the bandaid. Then, he fell in !!!!

I don't get one thing. Why is it not acceptable if someone posts a bold printed message, even if it is not offensive in anyway? Can't people have a little humor these days without being misunderstood or picked on by anti-social people?

Gail

09-21-2002, 11:10 AM

I don't think Johns was trying to be antisocial at all - he was just pointing out something that he thought she might want to know. People who are newer to posting and chat or who haven't got a lot of experience with it often don't realize that capital letters mean shouting. It's the same with email - all caps is shouting at someone. The comment he made about it being unacceptable was not meant (at least I believe so) to be a "slap down" - it is actually true, at least from what I've seen. Changing the color of a sentence to make it stand out has been, IME, a better way to emphisize what you are saying without "shouting". Johns was just pointing out Internet etiquite (I know I spelled that one wrong!), not trying to start a flame war. I would hope that none of us will take offense - we have a happy family here, let's all keep it that way :D

Simple rule of thumb: If it's a popular hosting website (Tripod, Angelfire, Geocities, etc,.) they usually <b>WON'T</b> allow linking of pictures from their site to any other.

So basically, if you want to post pictures, you have to find another site. And in the case of your link, you can't just click on it either. You must <b>Right click on it, click properties, copy the URL and paste it in your Address bar</b> (You don't normally have to go to properties, but the board cut half the link off with periods.)

Top sekret info:

To post sites on Geocities, RENAME YOUR FILE TO A .TXT FILE!

Example with your pic. Rename it to kellyoliver.txt (You can do it right from the file manager on Geocities)

And link the "pic" right to the text file.

Without the spaces, of course.

This is Quasimodo. He is a yellow rat snake with a malformed jaw and a temper. Quite the character.

Nadkicker,

So being completely ignorant on what a triops was, I looked it up. Now I have to ask ... why? What's the appeal of this particular creature? Keep in mind that I just skimmed a few basic biology pages and thus am pretty ignorant as to the nature of the triops.

Dave, click on my webpage button and go to the triops section - I am the holder of the highly coveted (if you're a triops fan that is :)) 2002 Triops Page Award from Dr. Erich Eder, if that doesn't answer your questions, I'll answer any further ones you might have.

Here's a picture of Aslan with our friend Rhia at our wedding last July. He's 9 months old now and 15 lbs. heavier with no end of growth in sight. He's a Bouvier des Flandres, a Belgian cattle guarding breed. He's a really sweet dog, very smart, great with kids and our friends, but absolutely ferocious with people he decides are a threat to the family.

Those things are so neat! :D

The body piercing shop that just hired me this week (which is why I've been so absent on the boards) won't let me keep a tarantula in the store. That said, I can keep ONE fish tank. Maybe I'll get some triops for it :)

Okay. That explains a lot -- you're a nutcase. Unfortunately, I am also a nutcase and thus may be forced to get some Triops at some point. Very cool.

Hey all!
Unlike you lucky individuals, I live in a University dorm (so does Jacenbeers I think, but I guess he's cooler than me) so I only have Peso, my G.Pulchra s'ling. The picture is terrible, and Bryan has a picture on the T board of a s'ling that looks about 100x better, but just so you guys can picture Peso and his babyfood jar when I talk about him. Besides, I'll be honest, I didn't want to feel left out.
I realize this is supposed to be for pets that AREN'T Tarantulas, but I guess I'm a big cheater.
Paul

p.s. I won't admit it to my friends because they'll just make fun of me, but I think I'm in love. My girlfriend's going to be really mad when I tell her I'm getting a second Tarantula.

Dorm room??? No excuse!

I have 5 emperor scorpions, 1 Hottentotta trilineatus, 3 C. gracilis, 1 H. spadix, and 2 P. trans. It' s not a huge collection, but if you keep it small, it can be done. My suggestion, get a $25 shelving unite--the kind you can take apart. Load it with inverts. Piece O' cake.

Chris

A question for Sugar Glider keepers, I'm getting a house next year with 3 other college students. We'd like to get a house pet. We thought about a cat, but I don't like cats. Then someone thought ferret, which is a thought. How are sugar gliders. Are they demanding pets (moreso, say, than cats)?

Thanks,
Chris

Phillip

12-17-2003, 02:26 AM

Are gliders more dependant than cats...... For the most part but it depends on your demanding of demanding. They require specialized food but it is easy to make and can be found at any grocery store. They also require somewhere in the ballpark or at least a half hour to an hour per night of interaction to remain tame. If given what they need they are somewhat demanding but well worth any effort put into them.

I do however recommend anyone considering one do their research 1st as these animals bond very strongly and you dont want to get into them unless you are into a long term commitment.

sugarglider.net and sugarglider.com are very good info sites.

Similar looking yes but not quite the same. Max only has color on the left ear while the rest of him is white. Also his tail is docked ( I believe that's the term ) and much shorter although you can't see it in his pic. He is 100% Jack Russell for any that may have wondered also known as an RCA dog or the dog on Frasier.
