My experience with advice from other hobbyists.

It made the iguana almost immediately relieve itself. And then it was ready to rock and roll around the house for the day.[/QUOTE

I can relate to that.

I had a friend that had one about that size. Every morning, he would put the iguana in the tub with like an inch of warm water. It made the iguana almost immediately relieve itself. And then it was ready to rock and roll around the house for the day.

Slief: Nice pants, bruh.

Warm water is always a recipe for a good bowl movement in a reptile. To house iguana's I use water in a litter box. It works every time once you find their favorite place to go to the bathroom.

Hey, don't knock the pants! They were the in thing back in the early 90's.. I was styling! :bum:

i'm now on a mission to find me some of them there fancy pants.

Check salvation army! :lmao:

LOL tony! hope we don't get in trouble.

Thanks. I've always had a soft spot for unual pets whether it was snakes, tortoises, eels, sharks, ferrets etc but I love our dane the most. She is such a sweetheart. You have quite a zoo yourself! Beautiful danes too! Your pot belly's are little porkers aren't they? We were considering a pygmy one but like with most pot belly's, you just never know how large they will end up unless you pay a premium for them.

My cousin in Florida just recently acquired a little pot belly. He loves the thing. I just wish their hair wasn't so stiff. One of these days we might add one to our menagerie.

sorry, i referred to your dane as a boy. i figured it was a male since the males are the biggest sissies LOL! anyhoo, your GIRL is beautiful, love her markings. did you raise her from a puppy?

i have a soft spot for senior dogs. both of my danes have been with me for about 5 years, they are both 8 years old. they are always up for a good romp in the fields but for the most part, they sleep. and snore!

yeah, there are a lot of unscrupulous pbp breeders who will sell you a 3# piglet and tell you to only feed it 1/4 cup of food a day. naturally, that piggy will stay small because lack of nutrition will stunt it. lilly and harley were both house pigs. they got big and destructive. they get that way because they get so bored. they're so smart, they need a lot of stimulation or they'll destroy a house. i've seen pictures of houses where pigs have torn up carpet, eaten drywall, gnawed on furniture. they are perpetual toddlers! never will i have one IN the house. they do fine outside, even in bitter cold temps, as long as they have a deep straw bed inside a barn to snuggle in. mine sleep in a big pile.

Yesterday.... thread sucked.

Today... thread is awesome.

ikr!?! i love seeing other peoples' dogs and turtles and lizards and there is one guy who posts in the lounge who has a pot bellied pig.

This thread has taken a turn for the better. Love the pigs Nina. I've thought about one in the past but after doing some research I decided they are not for me. They are really cute though.

We've had her since she was a little pup. We got her from a local breeder. The blue harlequin is kind of a rare mutation. She's a big baby. by they way, our dane is named Harley. :beers:

I'm a bit of a home theater junkie and have been as long as I can remember.

Seems like quite a few reefers are also into audio/video - I certainly am. You think keeping a reef tank is a money pit, try high end audio/video. Yikes!

Isn't that the truth! Fortunately, my tank and it's budget is much bigger than my home theater. While both are money pits, my home theater ain't got nothing on my reef tank.

Well, apparently, that's because you have some self control .... I actually paid more for my main speakers than I have spent in aggregate over the last ten years of reefing.

What did you get? Bang & Olufsen's? I used to spend a fortune on that stuff but have found that I'm quite happy with the middle ground speakers. Especially considering my home theater room is tiled making it not ideal for sound as it reflects a lot. It still sounds good though. I used to be heavy into the high end car audio scene and spent a lot of time designing systems that I competed with. Glad those days are long behind me as I still have some hearing left.

about 7 years ago I started my most expensive hobby... I thought high-end gaming computers and reef aquariums were expensive.. then I got into Drag Racing.. that's where the majority of my money goes... my home theater hobby can't even compete with that... I'm not changing my drag racing setup for next season though so I'll have money to play with (as long as I don't blow anything up that is -I shouldn't it's fairly tame)

 

[reefgeezer]

Reefing's cheap compared to my fishing addiction. Wait a minute... No wonder I'm always broke! :lolspin:

it could also be some of my defendants!
