I have a young ball python with a recently updated tank. However, I can't seem to find a great desert background. I need one that is 24'' tall, which makes it very difficult. It doesn't HAVE to be a desert background, but I'd like something that is reptile oriented. All the backgrounds I find are for aquariums. Does anyone know a great store/website to purchase backgrounds??
Here are a couple of places you might like to visit. Firstly this site has one background currently available: http://www.ireptilestore.com in the search box type: "background".
Or for a few different variety of backgrounds visit: http://www.reptilesupply.com/index.php?r ef=170&affiliate_banner_id=4
and again in the search box type background.
Hope this helps

Bad Dad: Mourning the loss of a lizard (and $100)
17.09.11
I received a call from my mate's phone 15 minutes after I got to work Wednesday. I cheerfully answered, only to be greeted by a suppressed voice.
"Daddy?" my daughter asked hushed tones. It sounded like she had been crying.
"What are you doing on Mommy's phone, Phoebe?" I asked strictly. "Is everything OK?"
"Daddy, something bad happened," she said, holding back a slight sniffle.
Doubtlessly, my wife was in some kind of danger and was incapacitated because she wasn't m me herself. And my daughter, being the smart one of our two kids, snatched her iPhone and dialed me instantly — just as we taught her to.
My mind started to course. They had been in a nasty car accident, and Phoebe had been thrown clear of the fragments, along with the phone.
Or they were at the bank, and had been taken hostage by bank robbers. Phoebe was m me as she hid in one of the cubicles.
Or my greatest fear: The zombie apocalypse is at imminent, and legions of the undead are clamoring at our front gate.
Making A Reptile Terrarium Some Considerations | PIRATE SKY
by Pirate-sky.Co.CC
Author : janetra
Housing for a reptile will, of course, vary with the type and size of your pet A tree dwelling or climbing reptile will be happiest in a tall narrow cage with branches for climbing A terrestrial reptile will be happiest in a wide, low cage Aquariums with screen covers or glass fronted wooden cages make suitable housing or you can purchase a specially made terrarium
Some considerations before you purchase your reptile terrarium
The cage must be:
Escape proof House reptiles by their kind and size
Types of Terrariums
Aquatic Terrariums
An aquatic terrarium is similar to an aquarium but usually has only four to six inches of water Like an aquarium it needs a filter and a heater and gravel on the bottom but needs a raised area above the water for a basking area and a vented or wire screen lid A basking area can be a rock protruding from the water or piece of bark The vented lid should have a lamp for basking and a background should be added, not only to look nice but to help your pet to feel secure
Pets that are at home in an aquatic terrarium include turtles, newts, frogs, salamanders and water snakes
Semi-aquatic Terrariums
This type of terrarium is a mixture of water and a dry area The two areas are separated by glass or by using a water container that is removable The water area is set up as in an aquarium and needs a heater, filter and gravel on the bottom The land area is best made by placing a layer of charcoal, covered by a thin layer of filter material then covered in sphagnum moss and potting compost Decorate the land area with rocks, driftwood or other decorations and add some moss and plants
For some reptiles you will need to provide a basking area by attaching a lamp to the lid Place this at one end of the terrarium to provide a warm area under the lamp and cooler areas at the other ends
Pets that are at home in a semi-aquatic terrarium include any of the aquatic reptiles plus crocodile lizards, basilsks, some turtles and especially newts and frogs
