I've noticed that hands down, rainbowfish seem to be THE most significant carriers of mycobacteria. I stopped keeping them after several years for that reason. And yes, I have a history in vet med and did confirm the diagnosis with histopathology. Note that Pseudomugils (often called dwarf rainbows but unrelated to the larger species) don't seem to have this issue.

Garter snakes in New England eat American Toads, Tree Frogs as well as their Tadpoles and Bull Frog tadpoles. Come late april to Mid June you can catch the tadpoles in the wild for fresh food.

I'm getting a red sides garter snake. Idk if I'm getting 2 of them bc they're adorable. They were born the end of this summer 2021 tho, I asked the employee there Edit: 😩 I may need to wait another month bc I count wrong of how the items was going to cost, I'll have enough for items & buy the terrarium but not enough for the snake yet. But I think it will be the best so the terrarium system has time to set up the remaining time.

I LOVE THE SETUP!!!!!!! It is so cool. I’m trying out different enclosure types for my boy. But, um... I don’t mean to be rude but you shouldn’t dangle a garter snake like that. He needs his body supported, just like a baby.
@ianariyoshi2712 Ай бұрын
Is this the max amount of garters you could have in an enclosure this size? If you added more hiding spots and utilitized more of the height with ledges, could you house more in there same size?
@Aquarimax Ай бұрын
I think you will find a lot of differing opinions on that. Ledges and more hiding spots would help. You could house nor males than females in an enclosure of this size.

I have a Californian and a San Fran living together, about to make them bioactive! My Californian is the most defensive snake I have ever had (she musks, strikes and bites EVERY TIME 🤣) She's definitely taming down a little now though. My San Fran is an absolute sweetheart and the complete opposite to her sister!

Hey! Quick question for you! What size bin do you use or recommend for isopods? My isopods are reproducing quickly and I don't want to have to move them for a while after this.
@Aquarimax 4 жыл бұрын
Andrea Castaneda If they are already reproducing, a larger plastic bin (16 quart) is a good size for most species for a good while.

Russ, Tilapia and catfish that are farmed can often have mycobacteria. It is probably better to offer wild caught fish, especially since you are already worried about that. Cheers, Chris

Aquarimax Pets I have 3 ribbon snakes and I catch bluegill as the do not have high thiaminase and if you freeze them for a week or two it should kill bacteria and parasite that could be in the fish. Every once in a while I offer a pinky mouse or a worm just to change their diet.

@@wafflenuggets5736 it's actually better for their main diet to consist of mice since there's more nutrition in them, and offer worms and fish as a treat. At least that's what I've been told by many herp experts lol. I've never kept garters.
