Here's a good one to start the new series .

Danielle Frazier, September 11, 2009
http://aqualandpetsplus.com/Lizard,%20Iguana%20New.htm
All the information about how to take care of a iguana is incorrect. If a person would follow your website on this issue with a new iguana it would live a slow painful death. If you really want to list on how to take care of a iguana please do your research and give the correct information.
Here is a great site to get really helpful information on.
http://www.greenigsociety.org/
I agree with the comments Kristin Edwards, March 31, 2009 wrote on your site even if she didn't spell check her information was more accurate. And she wasn't arguing about everything you wrote to just argue it is all incorrect.
I will post your site on http://www.herpcenter.com and you can see all the comments professional breeders have about your website. Sincerely,

Okay.  This may take a while.

Rusty Shackleford, September 11, 2009
Hi I recently was given a cichlid that I can not identify. I was hoping that maybe you guys could help tell me what specific kind of fish this is. I am attaching a few pics for you to look at. Any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

RS

RS

A:  No can do.  Maybe someone will see your pix and clue us in  LA

Rusty Shackleford, September 18, 2009
Hey Larry thank you for trying to help. I finally figured it out. The fish is a "fossorochromis arastratus" from Lake Malawi.

A:  Thanks.  I've never seen one.  LA

Jennifer & Justice Bysheim, Kent, WA, September 13, 2009
My son has recently purchased Pictus Catfish and we were fortunate to discover your website for information on the Pictus. We are having a heck of a time finding what these fish like to eat. Everything I've read says that they will eat anything, but everything our local Petco has sent home with us to try seems to just sink to the bottom and make the water dirty. We recently took a vacation for the weekend and came home to one of the three catfish nothing but picked clean bones on the bottom of the tank? Help! We enjoy these fish very much but I don't want to starve them to the point of eating one another? I'm sure you are very busy but I am really starting to doubt my "Petco's" expertise when it comes to Pictus Catfish.
Thank you for your time,

A:  Pictus catfish are usually very eager eaters.  They gobble up bloodworms.  Look for them in the freezer section.  LA

Katie Reis, Iowa, September 15, 2009
Hello, I was wondering if you still sold Hedgehogs or know where I can buy one and approximately how much they would be? I’m getting together information now but don’t plan on buying till about 1-2 months from now. Also I was wondering if you could tell me if having cats means I shouldn’t own a hedgehog? I plan to supervise it and keep it in a room the cats do not have access to when no one is in there. But I don’t want to purchase an animal that would be harmed in coming into our home. Thanks for your time as always,

A:  We currently have hedgehogs.  They are not always available.  Their price will vary over time.  Call 283-0300 for the current price when you decide you want one.
I've never heard of cats being a threat to hedgehogs.  However, you'll want to keep your hedgehog in a cat-proof cage.  LA 

Kris Balchan, Winnipeg, Manitoba, September 17, 2009
Hi, I'm Neil from Winnipeg, Manitoba which is in Canada. I love your website and have learned a lot. I only want to correct you on one error. The monitor in the picture captioned "Savannah monitors do like goldfish -- bigger the better" is not a savannah but is an Albig monitor, Varanus albigularis. Thank you

LA
Savannah monitors do like goldfish -- bigger the better.

A:  Thanks for the info.  I did not know it was an Albig monitor.  I did, however, know (or at leadt suspected for a long time) that Winnipeg was in Canada.  LA

Bob Rogers, Canadian,TX, September 17, 2009
Greetings from Texas- I am involved with many a school/adult wildlife program and use live cool stuff. Live things make folks pay attention. Looking for dumpy frogs and under water clawed frogs, dark phase, do you sell these and how do I get them from you? Am I to understand that you do not ship? Is it possible to drive there to receive them? I live in the top N.E. corner of the panhandle. Canadian is the center of the universe- you can travel anywhere in the world from here! Thanks a bunch for your time.

LA
Why not American frogs?  Bullfrogs especially.

LA
Whassup, bub?

A:  Hmm, a Canadian from Texas, eh?  Whooda thunk it?  Anyway, you are correct.  We do not ship.  We nearly always have the dark clawed frogs in stock.  However, we haven't had the dumpies for three or four weeks.  So, be sure you check ahead of time before you drive up to Des Moines for frogs.  You should be able to find the African and Australian frogs in a much closer Texas aquarium retailer.  LA
PS  The bullfrogs are quite numerous this year.

Bob Rogers, Canadian,TX, September 21, 2009
I attend a pigeon show in Des Moines every year. Your town is nice. What a capital idea on the frogs. We have buckets of the big bulls in our waters and juniors coming on. I did locate some of the clawed frogs in Okie land. Thank you for responding.

A:  Since you're a pigeoneer, here's another idea for you if you're into homing pigeons.  Sell white homing pigeons for release at weddings.  Newlyweds stop killing ringneck doves, and you get to "sell" your homers over and over again.  LA

Bob Rogers, Canadian,TX, September 22, 2009
Already ahead of you pardner. I have some white birds that have been sold in five different states. Thanks

A:  Excellent.  LA
 

Kirsten Marchant (14), Cape Town, South Africa, Sept 17, 2009
Hi there.  Your site has been a gr8 help to me so I would like to offer you my photos of my fish. All the good ones are on Photobucket
So I don't know if I need to be official, but you can use any of the pics on my account. My personal favorite is http://s765.photobucket.com/albums/xx298/scoliofish/?action=view&current=DSC01538.jpg of my dwarf gourami and I think you should mention on your site that now days dwarf gouramis are not very hardy fish. More often than not getting an incurable gourami disease. I personally have not had or heard of success in curing anything other than velvet or ick on these fish but they are beautiful. Yours truly

A:  Thanks for your offer.  I went to Photobucket and found out I had to enroll.  They would then add cookies to my computer which I do not want.  Copy your dwarf gourami pic and re-send it in another email.  Thanks.  LA

Kirsten Marchant (14), Cape Town, South Africa, Sept 17, 2009
I'll try...um... please tell me if it worked? I also have some good shots of a khuli/cooli loach. I'll try to attach that too.
And I was just wondering if you could do an article on betta tail types? I thought that could be quite useful. I have not compressed the images so they should be quite large and good quality but take a while to load.
Would you like me to send you any photos of fish that I think are decent, no matter what type?
I am going to attempt to breed bettas, dwarf gouramis and khuli/coolie loaches. I have already had success in breeding guppies/endlers but everyone has.

KM

A:  Excellent picture.  Don't send me too many or people will quit looking at mine.  If you Google the IBC, you'll probably be able to find the judging standards for the various tail types.  Have fun breeding your bettas.  LA

Chris, Connecticut, September 18, 2009
Hello, I am writing to ask about parakeets living outside. We have one that flies around my neighborhood. It comes to my bird feeder, etc. It is one that must have escaped from a cage. We have monk parakeets that live in the wild but this is not one. I live in Connecticut, which is why I'm writing. It will be getting cold soon, and I was wondering if it will survive here or will it migrate to warmer regions. It seems very happy flocking with the sparrows and starlings. But should I try to catch him before it gets too cold. Please give any info possible. Thanks

A:  Parakeets that escape into the wild have little chance of survival in cold weather.  We have peregrine falcons around here that decrease their chances in warm weather, too.  One of our customers was sitting on his deck with his quaker (or monk, if you prefer) parrot when a peregrine swooped down and flew off with him.  Parakeets don't go south with the migratory birds.  I wish there was some way to help you capture him.  Maybe some sort of Hav-A-Hart trap by your bird feeder?  LA

Annie Franklin, September 18, 2009
Hello I would simply like to thank you on  helpful betta advice. But I must agree with several other people. Bettas aren't meant to be housed in a whisky bottle or quart jar. Maybe the reason some bettas become over whelmed with so much space in a gallon or more of water is because for their whole life they were stuck in a breeder's cramped living conditions?Smaller tanks usually mean they can get sick faster, and smaller containers need cleaning more frequently than a larger tank. I do have to say about Ryuzaki's comment "Cruelty is stressing bettas out by making them live in large tanks, kinda like sticking someone in a huge warehouse and expecting them to be happy."  Would you rather live in a very small room like perhaps a bathroom or closet for your entire life? Only to see the same things every single day of your life? Also perhaps the reason they don't need fed so much because they don't move that much is because they can't? Really think about it. If you just shipped in an Elephant in a crate would you keep it in something that's just slightly bigger then the shipping crate? Of course not. So why would you do that to a betta? Sure they're smaller than us but does that really mean they should be stuck in a small container? Think about it.
P.S  I dont expect you to post this one on your site lol.

A:  Why wouldn't I post your letter?  It's very well written.  You just have a different opinion.  LA
PS  I give all my elephants free range in my living room.  However, they do not get access to the remote control.  I used to keep them in their original shipping crates, but they whined all the time.  So did my neighbors.

Jamie Cliff, Dearborn, MI, September 18, 2009
You have a few errors in your lovebird care page.
1. While I suppose it's preference, it's not usually suggested to use water bottles for birds, as they harbor food and bacteria in the nozzle.  They are difficult to clean properly -- more so than usual dishes.
[ http://www.parrotparrot.com/birdhealth/#clean ]
2. You put 'Swings' under dislikes.  This might be a preference specifically to your birds, but from my experience I have never seen a lovebird that dislikes swings.  Both of my lovebirds have two swings in their cages, and they are on them at least twenty-five percent of the time.  My lovie, Indra, loves to sit on her swing while I am moving her cage, or during car rides.  I was always worried about this and would try to restrain the swing, but the bumpy swaying of it excites her.  Sometimes I will grab the hook of Dorian's swing while he is perched on it, and wiggle it back and forth to move the swing.  Both of them are enthralled by this.  Beyond that, swings are one of the safest toys that can be given to lovebirds.
3. I have successfully mixed birds before; when I was younger. I had a runt of a cockatiel [roughly the size of a lovebird] and a parakeet who had lost his mate.  After an incident of his much smaller cage being knocked over by a cat who found its way into the room, Lightning was experimentally moved to Cupid, the cockatiel's, cage.  They had been friends for years before, and quickly became company for each other.  This was a special case, however, and could have turned out badly if our birds were not as familiar with the other.  It is commonly ill advised to house different species of birds together -- even with proper supervision, it can be a danger to either of them.  I don't have much info about the specifics of cage mixing, but I'd advise adding some more information beneath the picture you have, so that unknowledgeable people [like myself previously] don't try it and end up with dead or injured birds.
4. You referred to your white-and-yellow lovebird as an 'albino'--this is incorrect.  There is no albino lovebird.  The closest mutation to actual albino is creamino, which is the mutation of the buttery-white bird shown in the picture.
[ http://keola-aviaries.4t.com/custom.html ]
5. It is mentioned the power of a lovebird's vocals, but I would suggest elaborating on a lovebird's actual call.  I have never found a problem with any lovebird's chirp, but it is taxing on the ears.  [Indra and Dorian live on different floors, but they will sometimes scream to each other, and can be heard clearly.  This is funny until they do it while sitting on your shoulder.]  Perhaps explaining the sharp, short, very high "tweet!" that they can produce might give your readers more insight on exactly what a lovebird sounds like. 
6. On sexing -- sometimes feeling the pelvic bones of your lovebird can provide insight to their sex.  A male will have pelvic bones very close together, whereas a female will have them further apart due to egg laying.  Other ways of telling sex are by genetics and colouring [i.e. Dorian is a slate gray, and therefore a male.  Given his parents' mutations there is no way he could be anything but a male.  The same goes for his three sisters, who were all creaminos.].  Nesting habits can be used to identify sex once a bird reaches sexual maturity.  Finally, a simple DNA test [either a blood draw, or by sending in a toenail/five chest feathers to Avian Biotech] can be performed.  That, or you can wait to see if your birds mate and produce eggs.
I hope this helps on improving the quality of your informational page on lovebirds!

A:  Actually, you have improved the quality of our lovebird page.  I'll post it this afternoon.  Thanks.  LA
PS  When you're in a bird room with 20 or so lovebirds, even the most ardent love bird fan will long for a set of those Bose headphones.  Ditto for Quakers.  And lots of the conures.

Peaches, September 18, 2009
So I bred my male and female mantis last Saturday night. Should I have some egg cases by now? Or should I expect them later? She is a Chinese Mantis and has been eating like crazy (that's good right?). On the site you never mentioned when they should start laying. Also does one egg case come from one mating?. Or can several come from one mating?..Cuz he died soon after. She did not eat him though! ^_^ So I consider that an achievement! So yeah. Answer ASAP. Sorry to bug you again...You're just VERY HELPFUL!

A:  Mantids in our area are starting to lay eggs.  You'll probably get several egg cases from the one mating.  There's no way to predict when a specific female mantis will lay her eggs (if at all).  Don't forget to overwinter your egg cases or they won't hatch..  LA

Tiffany Rau, Nashville, TN, September 18, 2009
Thanks for the writeup on the bristlenose plecos! I have a male albino brislenose pleco with the long fins. I got him for something like $2-$5 some 5 or 6 years ago. He's so pretty! I never knew he was a special pleco. I bought him as an "albino pleco" I guess they didn't know he was a bristlenose, let alone a long fin bristlenose. I tried to show a ruler for scale, but he didn't want to stretch out for me. I think he's around 5 1/2" long including his fins. We just moved, so someday I'll get my good camera out and take some better pics of him. 
I've had him in a tank with goldfish this whole time and he's such a sweetheart, not bothering them at all. Two years ago, I got two ryukins and they developed a white fungus that was under their skin. It eventually made their bodies swell up locally where it was, and the way I found out was that it came through his skin a little. Do you know what that could be? It took the lives of all of our goldfish (the last one died this morning), but this bristlenose has survived it all! He is a real tough dude. We are afraid to get more fish, so we are going to make this his tank and get him some driftwood and zucchini today. Maybe some plants too. 
Can you tell me how long they live? Thanks again!!

TR

A:  Nice looking bristlenose.  However, I still prefer the standard finned ones.  I have no idea what zapped your goldfish.
http://www.demogr.mpg.de/longevityrecords/0503.htm
shows a lifespan record for Loricariidae of 18 years.  No specific breakdown for the bristlenose, but likely pretty close.  And remember, this is the record, not an average.  LA

M. Grant,  September 20, 2009
I recently got a salvator water monitor. After all my research I managed to miss something that I can't find. I found your fact sheet really useful but still missing under feeding. How often do they eat? Mine is young about 3-4 weeks I'm guessing. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.

A:  In the wild, water monitors eat when they find food.  If they find no food, they don't eat.  Little guys will do better with frequent small meals.  Big guys will choke down as much as they find.  Just use moderation.  Avoid overfeeding.  Feed a variety of foods.  If his legs start getting skinny, he needs more food.  LA
