    If you have city (if you pay for water) water then the water has already been treated so it is safe.  If you have well water, tiy cab have the water tested, usually for free, at a pet store or purchase a kit to test the water with.  Chances are real good , if you can drink it so can they.

    Isn't chlorine a concern in tap water? I always use distilled water or water that was carbon filtered to remove the chlorine?

I don't have a comment I have a question. What does it mean when your anole is black

    If an anole gets too stressed out or scared, it will turn black. They will also turn a very dark brown or black when they get sick or injured. Best not to handle them when either stressed or sick. If it doesn't soon adapt to its environment and stays black, a trip to the vet may be needed.

    We have green Anoles here and when one of them turns black/brown and does not feed or drink I force feed it and also force drink it. They usually bounce back.

    Could be dehydrated. Try misting the tank.

I love my asn she really healthy but I want to know if it is a good idea to feed her plants like up above. Has any one tried to and does the turtle like it. Also if so which plant would be best for the turtle? Thank you!

We have a little baby painted, about the size of a half dollar. His/her shell is still quite soft, how long before it hardens? It is quite active and is quite the eater. Just wanted to know if this was normal.
Thanks

    As long as your turtle stays active and eats a regular amount of food it will develope it hard shell rather fast

My Sulcata Tortoises poop the last two days has been a rust color. Does anyone know what this could mean. Is there blood in it? The reddish color is even throughout the poop. Can anyone help?

    Think about what your little guy gas eaten - that is the easy part.  Also, you might want totake a swab of poop and get it checked for parasites at the vets.

That Yellow rat snakes do not eat other snakes... Maybe they do not PRIMARILY hunt other snakes, but cannabalism between ratsnakes is not unheard of.
