They have very dense, solid layers of white that almost seem to blend into the color of their skin, making them look like they have an inner layer of fur.

A good source of light for most reptiles is direct sunlight, but this may be problematic for some species. For example, if your leopard geckos are spending too much time in the sun, it can cause them to overheat and suffer from heat stress or even death.

An easy way to provide such shelter is by using glass aquariums as covers. You can also use empty plastic…

This means that unless you live in a very bright area or outside, your bird may need special care.…

Mules are interesting animals. They are typically thought of as large, white donkeys with funny looking feet, but that is only part of what makes them unique. At their core, mules are hybrids!
