Sum it all up!

If you've got an inquiry into any particular animal, do a search on this site. Theres years of posts full of tons of info on various species, both common and uncommonly kept. If you need more specific information, just ask based on what you've come up with. Even if it's a common species or not, I'am sure at least ONE person on this site could come up with a good answer for you. Good luck!

Dragons (as in bearded dragons) and chameleons have their own forums. If you did a search here and didn't find any info, that's why. Check the appropriate forum and you'll find tons of husbandry info.

There's no need to 'make another thread with just the advice', whether of reference or not. The info has already been posted by people over the life of the forums. A search will bring up all the possible info you or anyone else could want. If you post it all again as a summary, it will also disappear into the depth of the forum history in a matter of days. It won't accomplish a thing. Anyone who wants the info can do a search and find it all. Anyone who doesn't want to bother searching will post the questions and we'll answer them fresh.

(the correct name for the 'pistus' is pictus. Paroedura pictus (formerly P. picta for a while).

Lrptls, this thread is not ment to teach you everything about the retile. Some people like myself don't want to look through 100's of web sites for information about buying a pet for example. Instead, somone can look at this thread, and get a rough idea of an animal that they might want. From there they can search up on this animal to there hearts content. It's a time savor as well.
I also resent your comments on reading books, i just finished a school assignment on herpetology where i read books on retiles for hours on end, so next time you might want to ask more question before you point fingers.

I think you should re-read my post just above the one you just posted. What you're proposing is rewriting what's been stated in the forums at least a hundred times, maybe more. If you want to do a quick run-down on even the most commonly kept species, you're in for a fun time. Do you have any idea how many species that is? Even just geckos --- there are several hundred species kept as pets, not to mention chameleons, skinks, pygopods and all the other classifications of Sauria, then on to Serpents, Testudines, Crocodiles, Tuatara and Amphisbaenia.


Total Reptile species:

Amphisbaenia (amphisbaenians)
165

Sauria (lizards)
4765

Serpentes (snakes)
2978

Testudines (turtles)
307

Crocodylia (crocodiles)
23

Rhynchocephalia (tuataras)
2

Reptiles total
8240


Granted, not all are kept as pets, but there are hundreds of species that are.
Still want to tackle that? It's a great project for a website devoted entirely to that subject, but I'd say it's a bit too ambitious for a post in any forum.
