Because they r getting way too big plz help!!
Answers:
This seems to depend on the store. Some do not, some will hold them for others to adopt, some turn them over to a different animal welfare or rehab group, and some apparently (based on anonymous employee comments) seem to have them euthanized.
The trouble is that there really is not much of a market for adult animals. As you found, adult turtles take a lot of room and are not nearly as 'cute' as the babies, and there are a lot of animals that are routinely abandoned as adults- pythons, large lizards, pot belly pigs, etc.
Very few places have the money, space, staff, or resources to care for all of the adult animals that they get dumped on them, and they sometimes have to make some very hard choices.
Well if you got it from there i think you can Return it.
Petco probably would. PetSmart definitely no.
yes you can donate your turtles to petmart our petco. i know because i use to have a turtle then the tank start to smell really bad i gave the turtle back to petco and they kept the turtle.
You can also put them in the newspaper for sale
OR
Ask on here if anyone would like them
OR
Give them to the nearest animal shelter..But don't let them go in the wild as they will die
yes definitly in fact they said that if you had a turtle cat spider dog snake lizard bird and rodents!! so yes
You can give them back to either Petco or Petsmart as long as they are healthy. They probably won't give you a refund but they will find your turtles a good home!

Can I catch minnows ina near by creek then feed them to my baby Red Eared Slider Turtles?
Please answer
Answers:
with a net
yes you can because i do it all the time and my turtle love them!!
Yes you can, they will also eat baby perch, tad poles, and baby catfish if you can find them. I use to feed my turtles fish about twice a week just to keep them happy. They love them!
Thats usually fine
As long as the water the fish are living in is clean. Just because it LOOKS clean it doesnt mean it is. If the fish living in contaminated water they can hurt your turtles when they eat them.
I dont recommend feeding wild caught insects or fish. There is a big chance that they have parasites that will be passed on to the turtle.
Yes they love minnows, rosy minnows. You can if it looks like a "healthy" environment--the lake, stream, or pond. You do need to be careful of parasites. But even ones from pet stores can have parasites %26 infect your turtles. So its your choice. I buy mine usually from a pet store nearby. On occasion, yes we get them from apond. They love them. Also tadpoles, pond plants, live plants, Anacharis, water hyacinths, water lettuce are a few. The even eat snails too. Goldfish too but they are fatty %26 not a nutritious as the rosy minnows. Yep--go for it.
i did for my turtle but he just makes friends with fish. two goldfish i got for him to eat got to be bigger than him.
yes

Can i buy a heating lamp anywere for under 30$$$?
i need 1
Answers:
Absolutely.
Stay away from pet stores, and go to the Home Depot or Lowes
you could possibly use what is commonly known as a "trouble light" with a heat lamp bulb in it
Here is an excellent site on heating lamps. I can see a lot are 10-20$. They look very good.
http://www.become.com/shop?q=heating+lam...
you can buy heat lamps for like 10$
I bought a heat lamp at Home Depot for $15.
You can get a stainless dome light fixture from Walmart/Lowes for about $5-10 (with clamp and cord with switch) and put a regular, 100-watt household bulb in there. A 100-watt bulb will give you temps around 110 degrees from about 18 inches away, use a smaller bulb or move the lamp farther away if you need less heat, and always CHECK YOUR TEMPS.

I have breed a female and male bearded fire dragons and got 23 good eggs out of them. the female (Azia) is a orange dragon and the male (Eleat) is a cross between a red dragon and a orange dragon. They are from two different breeders and with no blood ties between them. I just want to know if i can breed one of the best female out of them back to eleat her father when she get old enouph to breed. I know they breed son to mother or father to daughter with dogs but i do not know if it is ok the reptiles without having birth problems .
Answers:
no you should not and a true dog breeders do not breed father to daughter or son to mother . this is where we get mutants. and recently they have come out with almost hairless guinae pigs. in the wild the dragons they go seperate ways to find mates. i"ve had 5 and the oldest was just put away at12 an half years due to cancer.they are fantastic pets .

Can hermit crabs live with any other animal?
we have 4 hermit crabs in a quite large tank. our children love the crabs but get a little bord as they do not do much during the day.we are wondering if we could put any thing else in there for the children to watch.like a lizard or something.the tank is the focal point of the room and 2 of the 4 crabs are under sand and i think molting.hopeing they didnt burry themselves to die.but we are just wondering if we can put anything else living in the tank with our hermies.thank you
Answers:
If you let other animals live with them then they wouldn't be hermits any more.
probably not
i think some animals would be ok but to be on the safe side, i would just get another tank .
When they die you can generally smell them before you see them...
As for other creatures. anything that doesn't eat crab, and requires similar conditions would probably be ok.
WHy don't you just buy more hermit crabs? I don't think that they would be able to live with anything else. Lizards and other reptiles would probably just eat them.
If it is a large tank get few more of them and that way you will have an interesting exhibit
Hermit crabs are special kind of crabs. They live in a shell. If you mix that with another animal;
1. It will fight
2. It will hide
3. It will die
So if you ask me about crabs... They are disgusting!!
Don't get hermit crabs and expect them to be fun. All hermit crabs do is stay in their shells all day, and occasionally move spots/positions. The answer is NO. You can not put a lizard in with a hermie. They require different foods and temperatures. If you want to get something more exiting for your kids, get a cat, dog, or guinea pig.
Here's a sites about all these pets:
Cats:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/cat...
Dogs:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/dog...
Guinea Pigs:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/guinea_pig...
I'm not trying to be rude, but cats, dogs, and guinea pigs are MUCH better pets!
Hope this helps!
Good luck!
Most Lizards require temperatures that will kill a hermit crab. Hermit crabs cannot tolerate temperatures above 85 and lizards need 95 for basking. The answers before mine show a concern that the other animal will harm the hermit crab. There should also be a concern about the other animal being harmed by the hermit crabs. Hermit crab claws are formidable weapons, as anyone who has ever had a finger caught by one could testify.
Why don't you get a reptile waterfall (see links below) and some silk plants and make a little terrarium. Since hermit crabs require a minimum of 70% humidity to breath properly they will enjoy this as well.

No, not unless you want them eaten.
Well I think I mite have answer for your boring tank. I am pretty
sure that you shouldn't put a lizard in water tank, but what about water turtle. I have one at home and it way fun to look at home and it some thing different and new for guest to look at. I did some home work on it, but still not sure if it will work out or not.
Water turtle like to eat small fish and other animals that smaller that it, but on the other hand hermit crab can serve on in it shell and on it defense with it claws. Also hermit crab can eat algae and other debris from the water turtle, but the water turtle need a place on land to saulc in and not much heat is not need.
I am not sure if any this will work but give it a try.

Can Green Anoles Conceive with a Long Tail Lizard?
Answers:
OK liboby..you have answered the question about if they can co-exist. The question wasn't can they co-exist? It was can they conceive together? Has yours CONCEIVED yet? This is what da kid w would like to know.
yes they can what i did is i bought a cheap little case and put my green anole in the small cage then i left the long tail lizard in his cage and set them by each other to see how they reacted. and they where fine. my lizards are fine and they have been living for six months together.
From my knowledge, I don't think they can crossbreed together. I have two female brown anoles in a tank with one male green anole and they certainly don't do anything together. So no, I doubt you will be able to do such with an anole and a long tail lizard.
I'm not sure... to have two different lizards breed, you would need to ask a pet store about certain lizards breeding.
Good Luck

Can green anoles and house geckos eat rolly pollies (pill bugs)?
I was just wondering becuz I know your supposed to feed them different types of insects and i was just wondering if they are safe for my anoles to eat becuz it would be an easy thing for me to feed them becuz they are everywhere where i live
Answers:
i dont think there is much nutriten in them, they are basicaly all shell. try small pinhead crickets, wingless nats, and really small waxworms, but only about 1 or 2 the worms are pretty big!
I had an anole a couple of years ago and he was happy to eat crickets and nothing else.
