If you are in the Cleveland, Ohio area on January 31st, check out the City Club of Cleveland to hear Tim Harrison (from "The Elephant in the Living Room"), as well as area zoo leaders, speak.  They will be discussing the exotic pet issues in the state.

I have heard 2 of the three speakers a couple of times before and they are a wealth of information!  It's sure to be an informative afternoon.

Visit the City Club of Cleveland's website for ticket and other information.

If your little African dwarf frog looks like a giant water balloon he may have dropsy.

Dropsy is a disease that many aquatic amphibians and fish get.  Check out African Frog Dropsy to learn more about this disorder.

Exciting news for those of you who live in Mississippi.  You now have a list of Mississippi exotics vets available at your fingertips!

If you already have a great exotics vet please let me know so that I can add them to the current list.
