My babies are doing so well! We have 2 survivors of 55 eggs. Fahrenheit and celsius, a little boy and girl. I've had a lot going on, had neuro surgery again last week, but I'm pretty much back on my feet now. I really miss you guys! :(
I wish I had more time to post, but life is having it's way with me atm. Beanie is doing so well, but pissed about her diet. The problem with her hip is a calcium deposit instead of gout. As it turns out, she likes my new roommate more than she's ever liked me. Little foot gave me so many grumpy...
I have been so busy with Beanie that I haven't had time to show off the other scale babies! Forrest stump and Jennay are doing incredibly well. I'm so happy with their high reds! I expected them to lose much more reds than they did. And Buster the little crestie is finally growing, still...
She's struggling. The vet's opinion is that her kidneys are too swollen to function properly. The bloodwork won't be back for a few more days but she has gout evident in her scans. I just don't know how to let her go, she's barely even a year old! She's showing a 3rd clutch already. She's as...
She laid on the 15th of November and the babies still haven't hatched. I did raise the incubating temp to 80. The blood vessels are incredibly visible, I've only lost a few but it's really clear when the egg goes bad. I'm totally new at this so maybe my lizard people can look at the pics and let...
So Beanie is cooking up clutch number 3! This and the last are definitely infertile but I've lowered her temps, put her on a serious diet and she still is developing clutches way too close together. The vet doesn't really know what else to do to get more space between these clutches, except...
The big box pet store is something that I desperately try to avoid, but my bug order was delayed and long story short... new lizard. They had this tiny baby, maybe a month out of the shell in a tiny display case with a clearly sexable male. And they just didn't understand why it wouldn't eat...
So it's the vet's best estimate of Meanie bean's first hatch day! She got waxworms for breakfast, just in case. And then I get this look - "Can you just not?"
I have to say, Jennay is getting prettier and prettier by the day! They're still a little bit young to tell their sex but it looks like I got lucky and have a male and female pair.
Beanie's first clutch is going to be hatching by late April. What should I do with these little guys??? They were seriously accidents, but I need to know that they go to good homes.
I have Jennay just about hand tamed! It took a lot of patience and Mango bribery but she's doing so well! I don't even try with Forrest stump, he's just too skittish.
Last time my Dilly bean laid, it took 4 days and I nearly turned to Xanax. But this time, it took her 6 whole hours to lay 65 eggs. She's resting, but for anyone who has lost days and days of sleep from clutch worries - it apparently gets much easier.
His name is Thor, I am in love. He's really incredibly sweet! @Hollywhyte this is what happens when I see silly eye licking lizards, now I am up to 3 geckos!
My colony has grown out of control! I have 4 cups of adults that aren't producing nymphs quite yet but will be soon. They are in a 3:1 ratio, 15 females to 5 males. Also have 4 cups of large, packaged in 25 per cup but they aren't sorted by sex. They're gutloaded and ready to go! I'm just north...
I had surgery a few weeks ago, so I've been taking it very easy but I couldn't miss repticon. I ended up leaving with a very lovely red eye tree frog, and a crestie! I built two bioactive vivs ages ago, but I waited for the plants to grow before I got my new babies. I have a couple of climbing...
