He is now asleep but both eyes have buldged to twice their size. Someone please reassure me here, i cant help but be upset. I lost my panther back in May and i was distraught. I don't want to lose another :(

Erm my boyfriend feeds him as i am always at work. We gutload with fresh fruit and veggies, dust with calcium, reptivite wirhout d3 and nutrobal both every other week. He has his uv bulb and basking light too. I have made a vet appointment but cant get there until friday, i used the saline but...

This is a photo of his eye, does it look "blistered" to anyone?

Bought saline today from the pharmacy but can someone tell me what to do?! Ive never done this before. Do i just use it as it is? Do i dilute it? Warm it? Stupid i know but i wouldnt want to get it wrong and for him to go blind or something!

No its not a compact. We have a canopy. Thanks for the suggestions :-)

Hello all! I have a 14 month old male yemen, the past 3 days his left eye has been causing him some problems. When i went into him first thing in the morning his light had been on about 20 minutes, i noticed his left eye was closed. So that day i misted more often with warm water, used his...

My panther was the EXACT same! His nose ended up a lot worse than that though, he literally rubbed all the skin off and it went all rounded with no shape to it. We took him to the vets and they just told us to keep it moist and clean, after a couple of sheds it was back to normal. I'm not sure...

I can see where he is coming from, because yes, everyone on here has different opinions. But then again in my experience, every vet has different opinions!! I have seen about 6 different vets all within the same practice and they have all said different things about my husbandry care. I was told...

I see that you are located in Bicester, if you guys get stuck there is a brilliant reptile store in Oxford, it's called Evolution Reptiles. The guys in there are brilliant and it's well worth the drive over. I am located not far from you :) If he is only 6 weeks I am assuming you have small...

We use bug grub! I would also recommend bug gel which keeps the feeders hydrated and we also use fresh fruit and veggies :) Why would he tell you to leave the forum?!

What is your humidity like?

Well it could be different but my panther's skin infection was caused because his humidity was too low. However we did everything we could to keep it high and at the correct percentage. Basically on mine, his skin turned black (everyone said it was a burn, it wasn't), it went crusty and scabby...

His droppings will be orange because he is dehydrated. If he is not eating then you can buy supplements to put in his water that will ensure he gets the correct vitamins in him still. There is one that has electrolytes in, which is basically like a red bull for reptiles. This should perk him up...

We had some problems with our panthers spikes along his spine. He basically had some sort of skin fungal infection from a build up of dead old skin, our vet gave us a human pile cream called preparation H. Might not be of any use to you but it's worth a shot. Also baytril & flamazine (this isn't...

I am so sorry to hear your little guy is poorly. We went through a really bad patch with our panther 3 weeks ago due to something completely different but I do know how your feeling right now! Definitely recommend using a pipette for him drinking. I went out and bought like a child's bottle of...
