A Lizard Named Physh

[physhthelizard]

Hi! I'm Theo and this is my gecko Physh

I've had Physh for almost two years. He's a special needs leopard gecko, as he's visually impaired and has a slight mobility issue.

While I might not have much experience, I do have something else. I memory bank as a brain. Everything I've researched on leos is locked in my brain somewhere. (Okay everything I've come into contact with is locked in my brain. There's a Bob's Burgers quote in my head for every situation)

So I'll be here:

Posting lizard pictures

Giving information that I've got in my head!

Answering questions! (I'll take pictures of your lizard. Or cat. Or frog. Idk send me animal pics)

Posting leo help (I've got several posts lined up, I'm mostly in the outline phase of things)

Idk tell me what you want!

Did you know? New species of snake was discovered...

A day ago or something

Interesting isn't it?

Yes yes yes, I just read this story yesterday!

New Green Anaconda species?

The basic gist is that the northern and southern populations of Green Anaconda are genetically different enough to warrant considering the 2 populations as different species. You cannot, however, notice any physical differences between the 2 populations.

Keep in mind, that just because this paper was published, and science websites and magazines published articles about it... that does not mean that this is settled science. The wider herpetological community needs to review and accept this.

If this holds up, then the "Green Anaconda" will be split into these 2 species...

Southern Green Anaconda (Eunectus murinus), family Boidae, Perú

The southern population/species will keep the old scientific name.

Northern Green Anaconda (Eunectes akayima), family Boidae, Venezuela

The northern population/species has a new scientific name.

Look, I think it is important that as many people as possible see these phenomenal photos of Melanobatrachus indicus, because they are damn rare, but truly spectacular.

If anyone wants to know my favourite frog, this is probably in the top five.

This is something close to my heart as a hermit crab mama! As beach & vacation season kicks off, gift shops will sell hermit crabs & tell you they can live in a tiny cage with a sponge. It is not true. I made this video in hopes to try to educate. You can often find large tanks on Marketplace or Craigslist for sale at a much cheaper price than a pet shop. Rubbermaid dishes can be used for water dishes. Needlepoint canvas can be used as ladders. There are a lot of DIY tips & crab central station is an excellent online resource for learning proper care. If you bring several home & one or two doesn’t survive, it is because they go through so much stress before they reach us. The pet trade can be ugly & brutal sometimes. We don’t want to add to that. You can also look into hermit crab adoption if you are interested!
