If your temps are too high, he will open-mouthed gape to help cool himself. Daytime humidity should be between 30-50% ideally and yes, ventilation is essential. I don’t understand the gagging/coughing either if he doesn’t have a RI. Definitely keep a close eye on him. Unfortunately, many of our...
Hi. Your guy seems to have quite a few of the growths. They do look like papilloma, but because there’s so many I’d be taking him to a vet for confirmation with a biopsy. If that is what they are, they are relatively harmless. They only cause a problem if they are in a location that they would...
Aww…so cute! I love chickens! That’s just too sweet that your little nephew hatched them for you. 🤗 What about the names of George and Gracie? Yes, very old school. 😄
I have no idea. In order to be free of parasites you need to breed them and remove the eggs and hatch in a new and clean environment…away from the parents.
Definitely do not give any slugs at all or snails. These carry parasites and can make your girl quite sick. Are you giving her a plain calcium supplement? Were you able to figure out how to get D3 or some multivitamin for her? With enough unfiltered sunlight, she probably won’t need additional...
I’m in central Fl (Brevard) and it can be a challenge o keep temps and humidity in check. In addition to the house’s central ac, I have a room ac unit as well as a separate dehumidifier. The electric bill can get insane, but usually it’s just in the summer that I have to run all the extras.
I’m up in Brevard county and was given a male veiled who was found crossing a road. He came with parasites (giardia) and I wasn’t sure he’d survive. I love him, but almost every day my heart breaks for him for losing his freedom. His nose has scars from being rubbed raw, trying to find an escape...
This morning when I went to look at my sweeties, I had a ‘jump-scare’ as soon as I saw Stella. She was right up in the front with her frightening shedding face right there! Eek! :eek: She obliged and let me take some truly terrifying pics. How I love my crazy girl. 💗
So, let’s all share some...
Ooh! Spicy beauty today! 🥰 I can’t tell you anything other than my girls’ weights used to go up and down, lumpiness came and went and I could only guess that they formed and then absorbed eggs. If anyone has an answer about Nachito, it would be @kinyonga
Every now and then I see an adorable plant that I just have to get that is safe…and then I proceed to murder it. 😟 I’m more adventurous with my panther’s plants and tend to stick to veiled tested pothos, tradescantia and philodendron for my veileds. For both I like schefflera as a center plant...
I get most of my plants from Lowe’s, Home Depot and Walmart. Usually the house plants like pothos and others are inside the store at Lowe’s and Home Depot. Walmart often has a nice selection of house plants at good prices. The few times I’ve bought plants on line, they were healthy and all, but...
Leopard geckos are worse than potato chips for me…I couldn’t stop at just one. 😄 I found all of mine off of Craig’s List and 3 out of 4 were more like rescues from bad care. The 1 which had good care hasn’t been handled and I was told he bites. He only got me once and it was more of a food...
He’s a cutie! It looks like he’s able to get too close to the lights. If your uvb is sitting directly on top of the screen, that could irritate his eyes. I don’t see anything unusual about on/about him to explain why he’s scratching, like stuck shed. My alarm bell went off when you said he was...
Hi. Usually the biggest risk factors for respiratory infections is a combination of high humidity with high heat. What has your humidity been during the day? What are your temps at night and humidity? How are you hydrating him? Are you using a fogger/humidifier and if so, when and for how long?
