Leopard Gecko Care Sheet - Have the Happiest Leo on Your Block
A Good Leopard Gecko Cage
Your leopard gecko should have a 10 gallon aquarium at the smallest, but 20 or 30 gallons would also work. It’s better to have a flat aquarium with lots of space for running around than a taller one.
Make sure there is a good place for your gecko to hide, with some humidity. Peat moss works well, as does vermiculite. Also, put pieces of wood, rocks, overturned saucers and other stuff for your gecko’s amusement.
If you’d prefer not to use an aquarium, you can use any kind of box, as long as it has ventilation, temperature control, and can be kept clean.

Your Leopard Gecko Information Guide
This lovable lizard is quickly taking the pet world by storm. These tiny reptiles have crawled out of their rocky homes in Central Asia and made their way to a local pet store near you.
Leopard geckos are unique in the reptile world for several reasons. First off, they are small and easy to take care of. They come in a wide variety of different breeds called “morphs,” which offer different colorings and patterns.

The leopard gecko is a fun and original pet, and once you get into raising “leos,” you’ll become a hardcore leo fanatic quickly.

Proper nutrition is probably the most important factor, besides habitat, in determining whether or not you will have a healthy pet iguana. Iguanas require a balanced diet of fruit and vegetables, and lots of them to keep them healthy. Also what most people do not know is that, unlike most other reptiles, iguanas are strictly vegetarians. This means that they do not eat bugs, insects or any other animal matters whatsoever.
While most iguanas are herbivores, there are a few in the wild who are omnivorous. These are usually terrestrial dwellers who eat wax worms, meal worms, and other insects from their Read more

Rather than continue to pay the high prices that many stores charge take a look at some less well known stores and compare the prices. You will often be pleasantly surprised at just how low many of the prices are.

Wash & Groom Your Horse - Things You Should Know About Horse Grooming & Washing
Lets first talk about the subject of horse washing; I always get asked how often do you wash your horse? Well I feel like horse washing is a practice that is done way too much. I see people wash their horses for everything.
If you think about it how often do horses get washed in the wild in a natural setting?
Horse usually get washed in the rain if the is not protection or when forced to swim across a river or lake. Otherwise they get along pretty well with out it. I don’t think any harm is done for the lack of a bath. I believe this to be true for the domesticated horse as well. A lot of times after working a horse hard and he is wet and full of sweat, most people like to hose them down with cold water.

Though when my horse is hot after a work out I sometimes will hose his legs down but that’s it. Also when washing your horse its not necessary to use soap or detergents every time you wash him. This will remove natural oils from the skin and hair. Read more
