Green Anole(Anolis)

The lizard was found with a small cut on his leg.
This was after I released him on my neighbors fence.
                                                                      Green Anole:
Habitat:a flat basking rock and a small log with branches coming off it
Diet:cricket,mealworms, and max worms
Special behaviors:this lizard loves climbing.

If you want to keep this lizard as a pet then please buy a tall tank that's 20 gallons for 1 male and 3 females.i would recommend to buy the lizard instead of catching it because wild ones may not live as long.they loves crickets and mealworms most ,so feed those more often 2 to 3 crickets once every other day. Place rocks and anole beding for the floor and one big flat rock where the 40 watt heat lamp will be. Place a fake or real branches and vines in the tank.

Thank you for reading my 4th blog post. Feedback is always welcome!

Betta fish

Betta fish is my brothers pet as you can see.

The water is a little dirty from the food I just gave it ,but otherwise fine.

Betta fish:
Habitat:likes anything that allows it to be hidden and cramped
Diet:fish food for Betta fish would be best
Special behaviors:aggressive and will attack any other Betta fish in the tank.

If you want this fish as a pet this will be fairly easy animal to take of. This animal is 6 dollars usd
And is very cheap to take care of. For the Betta fish all you need will be a small vase(recommend a real tank),Betta fish water treater,Betta fish food, and a couple of aquatic plants.
First get your tap water and put the water treater in and let it sit for a couple of minutes 10 minutes or so. Second get you're  vase/aquarium and put the water in. Second place a couple of plants in there(gravel is an option). Finally put your fish in and feed it every 2 to 3 day's.you're done after that just change the water after one week or so depends on how big your container is ,but I do it every week.

Hope you enjoyed my 3 blog post. Feedback welcome!


Red eared slider

I rescued this animal from a swamp that was stuck under a log.

I kept him in a tank next to my lizard to get some heat from the sun lamp.
Red Eared Slider:
Habitat:Loves basking rocks,plants, and small rocks pebbles may choke and kill the turtle.
Diet:fish, crayfish, carrion, tadpoles, snails, crickets, mealworms, wax worms, aquatic insects, and numbers of different aquatic plant species.
Special behaviors:this is more a fun fact this turtle can actually kill a small cat or dog!

If you want this animal as a pet you should buy a big tank a least 15 gallons for one turtle since they are territorial and need space to clam territory.you don't need a screen led ,but you want it at least it 3 inches from the highest object since these animals may climb over and escape.you also want to get a 40 watt heat lamp for this little guy and make sure there is a flat basking rock there. If glass aquariums are to expensive then you can buy a cheaper much more affordable one that can hold 100 gallons of water. Have your water pretty deep 8 inches should be fine and at night you may want a night lightbulb for them. Get nice quite big rocks for the floor since they choke on pebbles and die ,so get pebbles at least half the size of his shell to insure your turtle doesn't choke.always have a place for them to climb up to ,so they can rest from swimming.the water must be bottle water or for them to live longer buy turtle tap water treater.They eat many different types of different aquatic plants and fishes ,so I would recommend to buy just turtle food from the store.

Hope you enjoyed my second my blog post.Remember that feedback is always welcome.
