Add your location. It makes your questions more interesting. Sometimes it also helps answer the question. Thx. LA Derek
Truman, July 2. 2005 A: Bearded dragon. We do not ship. LA Sanj
Vadeketh, Singapore, July 5, 2005 A: Not very many critters will eat a toad. Some snakes will. And I doubt an electric eel would bother shocking the toads which the eels would probably not perceive as food or a threat. If you keep any fish in your pond, you can get out your underwater Chap Stick and kiss them goodbye. Electric eels eat fish. An electric eel would be a bigger threat to you than to your wandering toads. Learn to hear their trilling as their song. Don't bother draining your pond because of the tadpoles. Most toad tadpoles change to toads in six weeks. The baby toads not eaten by birds move on down the road (to return next spring). LA Sanj
Vadeketh, Singapore, July 5, 2005 A: Your eels would grow to at least six feet long. They would present a definite hazard to you or anyone else that visits your pond. Grab one of those 35 cm juveniles and take a test jolt. Look at the bright side, you probably won’t fall in more than once. I don’t know if the eels migrate in rainy weather or not, but they would sure impress anyone that tried to herd them back to your house. I don’t believe the electric pumps would bother your eels as much as the eels would bother you. You sound like you really, really want to add them. Go for it. LA Ihatemuduckz, July 5, 2005 A: If you refrigerate super worms (Zophobus morio) like you would mealworms, your super worms will die. Dead super worms stop moving, smell funny, and taste worse. Taste them to make sure. Do not treat them like regular mealworms. Search for them on the web by putting quotes around “super worm.” LA Rick
Bird, July 5, 2005 A: Sorry. We do not sell lizards over the internet. We just give away the information that will help you keep yours alive. LA Sam
(betta question), July 5,2005 A: We do not retail or wholesale
fish through the mail. Sorry. Gwen Barker,
July 6, 2005 A: We sell our hatchlings at about that same price plus or minus $10, depending upon what they sell wholesale for that month. We sold out yesterday but should have more this Friday. Don’t worry about their small cages. If you gave a ball python an entire living room with a small box in it, it would go into that small box. Ball pythons need a cave or hide box they can touch three sides of. LA Phil Ky, July 7, 2005 A1: Your catfish is a bumblebee catfish -- either a South American bumblebee or Asian bumblebee. I usually can’t tell them apart except for their price.
A2: We’ve bought these under the names Borneo sucker and Hong Kong pleco. We see them in the literature as hillstream loaches, butterfly plecos, Chinese butterfly loaches, and butterfly flatfishes. Evidently, several similar species exist. LA Jordan Frerichs,
Hastings, NE, July, 8, 2005 A1: I saw your search on Pet Central
where you were looking for the scientific name of the starry night spiny
eel. Try Mastacembelus armatus. Robin Smith, Des Moines, IA,
July 8, 2005
A: We never wrote a Russian tortoise
page because we never had more than a few per year (mostly trade-ins)
until this year. With the shortage of three-toes, we started
actively stocking the Russians (which do rush more than the three toes). Christine Boyer, July 10, 2005 A: But I also said they grow to three feet in the wild. So, there’s quite a bit of wiggle room in there. Big tanks grow bigger fish. Mine never redecorated their tanks. Are you sure yours didn’t hire a cichlid to help with renovations? LA PS Your picture was so big I couldn’t copy it to show him off. Allied Hobo
(pest), July 10, 2005 A: I believe I already told you that your tank line up would lead to problems. Big fish eat little fish. Mean fish beat sissy fish. If you insist on making these mixes you can expect more deaths. Your oscar should love the taste of your new dwarf dempsey. Good luck with your feeder program. LA © 2005 LA Productions
