Hi all, Has anyone used Repashy Vitamin A plus (http://www.repashy.co.uk/lilly-exotics/vitamin-a-plus) as opposed to the gel form in order to treat this condition? I'd be keen on hearing your results as I am exploring a potential deficiency myself. Any info/advice will be most appreciated.

Thanks Carol. Do you think the baytril is causing the colour change?

Morning all, an update here. I took Digit to a well known reptile vet last Wednesday and the he prescribed baytril for a slight infection inside his mouth along with an iodine solution for cleaning. This is not an URI but the result of getting a cut somehow and it becoming infected. This...

Morning! Thanks for all the input. I've upped the auto mister to 4 x 2 minute intervals and taken all the food out. Will leave him till Friday and will have a range of insects to feed then. I'll let you know how it goes! All the best, David

Hi both, thank you for the informative replies. I've just ordered some silkworms (im in the uk so where we cant get hornworms), cockroaches, soldier fly larvae, dubias and morios to add to the locusts and waxworms ive got at home! Hopefully that'll rule out any problems with food choice...

Good morning all, in advance, apologies for not using the 'how to ask for help template', I'm using a mobile/cell phone so its quite difficult writing it all up! In a nutshell, Digit is a one year old panther kept in a 4x4x2 wood, glass and mesh enclosure with a t5 5% d3 tube and basking...

Thanks Video Master, I just went by the average Ambilobe night time temps: http://www.weather-forecast.com/locations/Ambilobe/forecasts/latest Could certainly turn this down. Do you have any thoughts on the vent protrusion?

Hi all, almost completed the new enclosure, will post pics soon. Brought a microclimate Prime2 thermostat; it's a great piece of kit!

Thanks all! LED is a great shout Todd, I'll see what I can do. How did you create your custom spotlights? Is anyone else using LED? Some more shots:

Thanks Rango! Erm, I'm not too sure; a couple of days at most. He then settled in two a light green colour before he started to develop colours here and there. At the moment he seems to colour up more each day. I'll update with another photo next weekend or something! Any thoughts on...

Morning Todd, thanks for the informative response. Not giving me a hard time at all, I appreciate the level of detail; it's exactly why I use these forums! The enclosure isn't fully furnished yet but it is around 4ft tall. I understand your point around UV gradients entirely. In light of...

Thanks for the insight! I did look at the powersun but was unsure as they can't be hooked up to thermostats. I guess the only way to be certain would be to source a UV meter? Apologies for the grainy photos; phone is due an upgrade!

Hi all! Digit is growing pretty fast and Im hoping for a some advice on lighting for his adult enclosure. I have a T5 unit and both 5.0 and 10.0 tubes 39w tubes available. The top of the tank is mesh (around 1cm x 1cm holes). In your experience, which is best? Should/could I use both? Any...

Hi all, Digit shed today and is showing more red. This can he seen in females too I assume? i am due to pick up a male this weekend. What am looking for in a hemi penal bulge?! All the best, David
