my female leopard gecko was bitten by male when i was holding both in my hands so she got sexually excited i think and now when they are in separate terrariums (she is not heavy enough to have sex) she is constantly trying to escape every evening, she probably is feeling feromones of male who is in the same room and she wants to get a dick
how to calm her down? i do not want her to loose on weight due to trying to escape all the time

Lower the temp and read up on brumation so you don't fuck it up. You don't have to cool her down for brumation(actual brumation will probably make her horny afterwards) but cooling her for just a bit should calm her. I don't have a long term solution for that, however.

>brumation
i had to check up what it is desu
so there is no hibernation among reptiles and but brumation amirite? what about amphibians? also it is summer where i live and she starts to try to escape when i switch heating pad and heating bulb off so im afraid i cannot do anything...

My parents have a seven year-old female cat. It's the worst cat. The most important thing about it is that it's marked a room in their house and now it smells literally worse than a toilet. How do you get a cat that old that already thinks it's okay to mark a room with its pee to stop doing it? This is not something it started doing recently, it's done this for a long time now. It's already spayed.

Hey an, I'm a little worried. I was at Pet Smart picking up some chicken feed and a Halloween costume and they were having a huge buy one get one free sale on the dwarf hamsters and snakes.
There was two baby ball pythons in a tank together and an adult banana python and ball python in another tank and two corn snakes together.
Is this safe? I thought snakes were prone to cannibalize each other.

No, it's not safe. You don't know when or if one will attack the other and snakes are not social unless it's time for fucking.
>>
>>2457350
I heard some snakes were OK to house together as the risk of killing each other is low. I don't know what species though. I've seen accredited zoos do it but of course that doesn't necessarily mean it's ok.
>>
>>2457352
What can I do to help? I mean, the snakes are on sale, probably because they have too many snakes for the amount of tanks. Should I just buy them all and sell them myself? I have all the materials to house them for a short period of time. A couple plastic bins and all.
Would this be a feasible solution?
Would talking to the manager help at all?
>>2457379
I've seen this too, but only with certain species. I've never seen two pythons being housed together in a zoo as far as I can recall.

Is it normal to leave your cat outside over night? or not give it a collar? I see this one cat around for years now that does not have a collar and roams around the neighborhood all night. Its friendly and sorta chubby so I know for sure its not a stray.

Some people do it.
They also, very frequently, end up with dead cats.

This. My mom has had 11 cats. Each one died/lost because they either got a disease, they ate something poisonous, they got infected by a tick. they got ran over, got ate by a dog, jumped over a fence, got taken by someone, someone killed it, a wild animal got to it, they got lost and starved to death or they go into the open sewers and drown. You are drastically reducing your cats lifespan, life-quality, happiness and affect towards you by having them outside. So don't fucking do it.

Hey, guys. I fucking love non-parrot/corvid birds.
I've owned chickens and pigeons before, but I can't stop thinking about ostriches.
I have a whole incubation room that stays around 85 degrees year round that I raised my chickens in and a fair bit of land. My back yard has brick all around it about 6 feet tall and is fairly large with a huge awning. I've checked local laws and restrictions involving ostriches and I'm fairly certain I'm in the clear.
The problem is I've been having trouble finding ostrich related care guides and websites.
I was wondering if any of you kind folks had any experience with raising/farming/owning ostriches or if any of you could point me in the right direction resource wise.
I'm sure it'll be a while until I'm prepared to raise a baby ostrich, but I'm dead set on having one within the next 2 years.
TLDR; Red pill me on owning ostriches.

Why are the great apes restricted to the tropics? Excluding the genus Homo, of course.

I would assume it's because apes as they are don't have the thick fur other mammals have that would help them survive the colder climates, and they are very slow moving and slow to breed (very few offspring and long time to reach sexual maturity). Would take a veery long time for a population to evolve to adapt to colder climates.
>>
Less cover and they move too slow. They're dead meat to large carnivores and given how long it takes them to breed and raise offspring, it ain't worth it. Tropics are also loaded with food and foraging is a breeze.
Basically everything above anon already said. I think a snowy great app would be boss but even mountainous animals are speedy, agile devils and food is hard to find.

Alright anons, I've got an elementary question on evolution. I went to a Christian school, so we never covered it, so I still have some spots which I don't understand.
I get that if you have two animal who can reproduce with each other and create offspring which is genetically viable they are of the same species. New species are created when two groups which were once of one species diverge due to outside factors.
But what about things that reproduce asexually..? Do you just have to go by external looks? I've been getting into microbiology, and I'm curious as to how you go about identifying two different species of asexually reproducing protozoa, when they never "mate" so you're not able to judge the viability of the offspring.

Which animal produces the most nutrients from milk production at the lowest cost?
For example, which animal produces the greatest number of milk calories per day per pound of animal?
Is it cows? I know a lot of cow lines are selectively bred but are they really inherently the most economical at producing milk, rather than say, pigs, mice, or elephants?

personally I'f say goats, if only because they literally can eat poison and actually break it down before converting it into nutrients.
unlike say, quail which become poisonous if they eat poisonous seeds such as hemlock.

>pig milk
There's this one Italian farmer that has spent a good decade trying to milk pigs for making cheese. Turns out it's pretty damn hard. In part because sow's teats are hard to milk, in part because pigs really don't like being milked.

Who cares? Unless you are a baby animal, you shouldn't be drinking milk anyway.
