Can my baby corn snake eat a baby lizard from outside?
Q. I just found a baby lizard in my kitchen and i caught it. I was wondering if it would be okay to feed it to my baby corn snake (13 inches long)? I know in the wild baby corns do eat small lizards, etc. My only concern is if any parasites can be transmitted?

A. My daughter volunteers at a local reptile rescue center and one of the first things she learned was it's never a good idea to feed a pet reptile any live prey from outside. You don't know what they have been exposed to...chemicals, parasites, etc...

What do you think about putting the baby on a budget?
Q. How much is to much to spend on the baby in a month? My daughter was just born in May. Anways, my Fiancee keeps spending heaps of money buying her stuff. She spent like 1500 between the babies birthdate and today. Mind you we already had baby furniture, cloths, formula, and diapers. Although, we have had to reup on the last two a few times. So, anyways she thinks it unreasonable to put the baby on a budget. But I dont think its out of the question at all. What do you think and how much would you budget for the baby? I am not speaking of emergency type situations, I am speaking of the every day needs and my fiancee's wants. The two of us already have budgets, that we decided on when she got pregnant. Now she is using the baby as an… [cont.]

A. Wow... that is alot. If you have all the necessities then you should give her about a $50 weekly allowance aside from diapers and formula... still that is alot that she can spend. If she buys clothes and stuff it is just a waste. The baby will only be that small for a very short period of time. My daughter was in her newborn stuff for about 2 months and then she had a growth spurt and left many outfits with tags. You wife need to understand that the baby just needs love and attention... not shiny pretty things.

How old does baby fish have to be to turn them loose in the tank?
Q. I have baby dalmation mollys in with a bunch of other baby fish. They are 2 months or maybe a little less younger. How old does baby fish have to be to turn them loose in the tank?

A. Old isn't really the question. It is a question of size. If you are turning them out with the adults make sure the adults cannot get their mouths around them or you will not have babies anymore. As long as they cannot be eaten they are ready to go into the big boys tank.
