BROWNSVILLE, Texas (KVEO) – Cats and dogs are not the only pets that can be affected by these cold temperatures, reptiles are having a rough time as well.  

Exotic Aquatics pet store in Brownsville is lending a helping hand to reptile owners who are without power.  

They are getting a generator for their store and are offering a warm place to stay for anyone's pet lizard, turtle, snake, or any other reptile that needs heat to survive.

They just ask you take them in a small container and not a big aquarium.  

Owner Francine Gonzalez, standing in her storefront.

Owner, Francine Gonzalez, says they will be taking in animals for the rest of the day.  

"We are willing to take it in and keep it warm for you. And when you have power, you can come back and get it. We just encourage you guys to do that, rather than you sit at home and watch your reptile pass away or go into a hibernation state where it can't come back from that," said Gonzalez. 

Gonzalez adds if your reptile is not moving and appears dead, do not release it or throw it out, it may be in hibernation and just needs some heat to come back.  

They are located at 1135 East 12th Street, Brownsville, Texas.  For more information, you can call them at 956-404-5967.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
