Glad to hear Amos is on the mend. sending continued healing thoughts your way. My girl is on Allopurinol amongst other things for life too.

I appreciate everyones feedback and especially the position of putting a pets comfort and quality of life above expensive procedures. I am fortunate enough to be in the veterinary field myself, although for mammals, so I have my own professional/personal experience to pull from. As well as...

I have a female chameleon who is currently scheduled for a tail amputation surgery tomorrow. She is a 2.5 year old ambilobe who laid 2 successful clutches of unfertilized eggs. She recently developed some abnormal behavior and after taking her to her vet it was discovered that she retained eggs...

Id be open to buying the eggs. Do you have a resource for how the proper conditions to hatch the silkworm eggs?

All of my usual sources for silkworms, including mulberry farms are sold out. Does anyone know where I can buy live silkworms that currently has them available? I've also checked the classified section here.

Update in laying female So i think she was successful with her laying. She was out of the bin this morning when i checked on her and i weighed her and she is 18g lighter. She seemed a little tired but had good strength. She had some dirt on her rostral process but looked relatively normal. Only...

Completely understand the freaking out part. Its been a challenging two weeks for this and other reasons.

Thank you! Lights are out. Ill keep posted once i check on her tomorrow.

This clutch is infertile. just want to get her through it as easily and healthily as possible. Its her first time. (Ours too). Ive read the link that jannb has shared in other threads but it didnt say anything about lighting. So lights out then? I feel like an expectant father wondering...

I have an unmated female and as I mentioned in a previous post, I thought she was gravid. She has been dull in color since about the 19th but otherwise normal including basking and eating (last meal was 2 days ago as we feed her every other day or so) and her stool has been normal. It recently...

She has a lay bin about 18in deep with eco earth in it. She currently is weighing in at 114g if that helps

Thanks for your reply. As i mentioned in my original post, she does have a lay bin. How long will she have her colors like this before i can expect her to try and lay?

How long will she be this color before she is about to lay? Can anyone else confirm this is gravid coloring?

Hello all, My female who is 20 months old has been showing some confusing colorations for about the past 5 days. I can't remember if she did this last year around this time so I wanted to check and see if she is showing gravid (unmated) coloring, receptive or if she is just cold. She's been...
