there is nothing wrong with african rats they are not intended to feed your c.b balls there are used to get w.c feeding again and they are quite sucessful at that.

best way to worm Uroplatus geckos is to just smear the medication mix on the front of their mouth. They will lick it off.

Best way to kill a rat.....let the snake do it.

best way to clean the floor of the reptile room, use a broom.

Best way to control temps, A/C........

are we done?

best way to worm Uroplatus geckos is to just smear the medication mix on the front of their mouth. They will lick it off. (**I don't do lizards.,sounds like a plan)

Best way to kill a rat.....let the snake do it. (* see we agree)

best way to clean the floor of the reptile room, use a broom. *(*see we agree again)(although I use shop -vac if there's like 100 gallons of water on the floor.......or more.....or 1500...yes my room is humid)

Best way to control temps, A/C........*(thank god....100 degrees here,,work suxx)

are we done?
*(*up to you....I can be an ars for a long time.)

see we agree.........
