This thread is dedicated to all animals of the Reptilia and Amphibia classes. Topics include, but are not limited to: geckos, snakes of all kinds, frogs, salamanders, newts, turtles, tortoises, and much more. Before asking a question, do a search on the internet to see if it has been answered
Classifieds for finding breeders and products:

Most forums will have a "for sale" section on them, so look for that, especially if you have a specific herp you want. Craigslist can also be a good source for cheap aquariums, and make sure to check for any reptile expos that occur in your area.

For those experienced with New Cals, has anyone ever experienced an issue with their juveniles having difficulty walking? Difficult to describe, but this gargoyle gecko I picked up from a breeder 2 months ago suddenly, within the last week, seemed to develop this loss of manual dexterity. Each step appears to take significant effort to coordinate where to plant each foot.
I'm afraid my vet visit today is going to result in only me coming back home.

"Supposed" is theistic bullshit. They sit around doing nothing because it's the most efficient use of resources and maximizes their chance to reproduce. Animals you see getting bored are those whose reproductive chances increase more by expending that energy in some way than by conserving it: dogs were bred to be useful, young predators gain net calories by practicing hunting, beavers need to maintain their lodges to survive, humans can trade work for goods and services and use those to attract a mate, etc.

Rejecting one set of assigned values and replacing them with another is not based; it's pseud behavior.

The Caspian Sea seals are a bigger mystery. Baikal seals could have retreated up river as the Arctic Ocean ice became prohibitively thick during the ice age, the bodies of water are connected.

But the Caspian Sea seals are descended from Arctic Ocean populations, despite no clear route for their population movement existing.

One that I saw was small like a cat or so. They got very long leg and big eyes like an owl but not so big as Grey Alien always shown with. And it got a half sort of lop lip and no ear that's all I remember sorry. Wish that I could draw for you.

They'd probably have fucked up and wacky organs and skeletons but apart from that I don't think they'd look much weirder than anything you haven't already seen on earth.

Most retarded animal "facts" people have told you.

A co-worker told me with a straight face that rats don't have bones. She said that's how they can squeeze into tiny holes so well.

No. In a country where 50% of murders and 97% of rapes are never solved, you cant make judgements based on a crime no one is even looking for. All you get is a list of people dumb enough to go to the vet after leaving “signs”. Anti white, anti male shit.

So I work with the public in a grocery store and have come to realize that cat owners are the dirtiest and worst smelling group of people overall
However there is one regular who is the worst smelling person I have ever met and I was giving cat owners the benefit of the doubt with him because he smelled so bad I assumed he must be a pig farmer or something like that who never washes his clothes or bathes. His stench is unreal.
But then yesterday I saw him in line with three giant bags of cat food so I guess I was right all along
Why dont cat owners realize how terrible they smell?

It's unlikely the owl ended up killing the cat, I have seen many videos of raptors making a similar hold on foxes and ending up having to drop them, because of the weight and foxes trashing around.

Why do cameras fail to capture the impressiveness of giraffes? It's the same with some other animals but not to this extent.

Most camera lenses are best used on very circular shaped objects. Giraffes... Are very not circular, in fact, they are quite long.
The same issue goes with humans, they compensate with props or poses
>>
you need to be far from a giraffe to get it inside the frame

in person you can only see a small part of them at once they are so huge

What would you recommend, /p/bro? Moving to a place with a lot of birds and I want a decent birding camera.
>>
>>4899169
I find this with large birds too. You don't get the impression of the size of, say, condors until you see one in real life. Those fuckers are gigantic.
>>
The first time I saw a moose irl, I was absolutely shocked with how unfathomably huge they are. You look at them in photographs and you just don't get a scope for how fucking freakily gigantic they really are.
