When it comes to feeding your snake, you need to stick to pre-killed food.
There are a lot of reasons that people prefer to give their snakes live food. One of the most common is they feel that a snake in its natural habitat would eat live food so in captivity they should be given live food as well. I used to agree with them. However, it only took one incident for me to change my mind.
Questions for the environmental pet owner
1. Do you use biodegradable poop bags for your dog? ‘Normal’ carrier bag can take over 100 years to fully breakdown.
2. Do you pick up your dog’s faeces? Apart from the obvious fact that dog faeces look disgusting they can harbour disease and worms. They can contaminate grazing areas for other animals and damage the natural environment.
3. Do you use biodegradable cat litter? Cat litter is available in materials such as wood, paper and corn all of which break down.
Betta fish are a better bet as pets than goldfish. Most kids have this experience with goldfish after a few days: Moby is found floating at the top of the bowl, then gets a one-way tour of a toilet’s plumbing system. This speedy demise occurs because goldfish don’t like being kept in a bowl. However, betta fish, also called Siamese fighting fish, think bowls are great homes.
There is relatively little known about the mysterious spiny tailed iguana and only a handful of subspecies. They are generally located in the Yucatan Peninsula through to Panama however their presence is largely located in Mexico. The spiny tailed iguana that thrives on the Atlantic coast there can typically grow up to 24-34 inches in length and are often mistaken for an alligator when they are spotted in Florida. They love to lay and soak up the sun and are often found around heat retaining objects such as stones and brick walls.

One of the most common mistakes which leads to the death of fish in an aquarium is improper care and treatment of diseased fish.
Disease causing bacteria is present in all tanks, but whether or not disease affects your fish depends on how strong the animal’s resistance is to the disease. Poor living conditions can make a fish more susceptible to disease, and even if you do everything right, disease may still affect your fish.
Therefore, it is necessary to understand how to determine your fish is ill and what you will need to do in the situation where your fish is ill.
