The abscess is clearing up and looking a lot better! He is still not wanting to eat tho. I was surprised the first vet said that they didn't even really look at him or anything. Hopefully he will pull threw it!

So my big Jackson Thor that is almost 2 had a abscess and I took him to vet and they basically put him on injections every other day for a week. They also where cleaning the puss out every visit. So the last time I needed to take him I went to get him out of his cage and he wouldn't even move he...

I was doing about 6 crickets 5 days a week then some waxworms. Now I am doing about 5 every other day with meal worms sitting a dish. This is what a vet told me. I have been doing it for a little over a month now and seeing very little change. He has become a lot more active laitly tho. I will...

So I have cut his diet down and he climbs around all day. What other ways can I help or get him to slim down. He isn't huge but he has belly on him. Any help would be awesome thanks!

Yeah it is a foot above the cage. I will put it a bit higher tonight. But I want to get a better bulb.

He is 9 months old. I had the heat lamp on for awhile it was hitting temps of 88 and 89. So I am going to go get a new ceramic bulb tonight. The one I have just gets way to hot! He stars geting really black when I have that light on. So I have kept it off and put him near a window during the day...

Will do thanks a lot!

Yeah up close to the bulb is around 77.

Thanks a lot for the help guys his temp gage at night is around 65 so that should be fine. Is 72 during the day a good temp as well?

So my Jackson when I have his red basking light on during the night he doesn't sleep. Is that ok or what can I do to make it ok? Also would it be ok for a female jackson to be in the cage with him?

This is my buddy Thor about 9 months old

Hi I have a Jackson that is starting to look a little chunky. I feed him about 15 to 20 crickets a week I also skip days of crickets and replace them with waxworms. He is almost a year old is this to much or will he grow into it? Or should I keep feeding him this way? How can I slim him down...

Yeah he had a problem with not eating when I first got him. Over the last few weeks has been eating a lot better so I am I going to slim his diet. I started a new gutloading process and him and my other cham go nuts over them! I am just happy he is eating a lot more now!
