Be sure to supplement the mother and offspring with preformed vitamin A when possible, reptivite is an easy way to do so. I do this and I suspect it does help maintain viability.
I am making available some CBB brookesia thieli. They're juveniles (not hatchlings) so are eating pinhead-1/8" crickets and all kinds of fruit flies. I can sell females or a pair. 3 unrelated lines available, probably a fourth one available in a couple of months. I have a full care guide on them...
I have a pair of calumma boettgeri CBB juveniles/subadults or I could send an adult C. boettgeri and a juvenile female. I don't usually make these available so openly but I have enough right now where I can part with them if a very experienced keeper would like to give them a go. They're a...
******SPOKEN FOR, THANKS!
I am making available a pair of perfect CBB F2 brookesia stumpffi. Perhaps the most well-suited brookesia for captivity and highly coveted. I typically make these available to zoos or other organizations first but will sell to a responsible breeder.
$650 shipped for...
Not sure how I missed this thread, but well-done getting eggs and hatching them at all although they didn't make it. Probably it was a maternal nutrient issue. I'd guess vitamin A deficiency or offspring not being kept warm enough but I haven't combed through all of this yet. This round be sure...
Lateralis is somewhat unique in that they can breed early, specific timing doesn't really matter much. I had a female lay 13 clutches of eggs and live for several years, the longest-lived and most productive female recorded. Not to say all lateralis need to breed that much, but if the goal is to...
Yes :) Male on the left, female on right. Looks like you got some of the ones that came in recently, of the "nyahururu locality" aka yellow heads. Beautiful specimens
I have a CBB brookesia stumpffi juvenile female available. I typically send these to zoos/conservation organizations but have produced enough now to make some more available to the community. $300 + shipping. Feeding on small (1/8"-1/4") crickets.
Kind of late here, and I'm not sure how much this adds, but I figure I would chime in. For background, folks are listing their credentials so I'll list mine too-I'm a practicing human doctor with a PhD in hepatology (liver) who contributes to and studies veterinary science and publishes papers...
They do sometimes lay infertile clutches, but shouldn't really do so without a lot of food intake and high heat. But if she laid successfully well done :)
Stop giving the lactulose, there is no reason to do so in this case and it might actually be harmful. Large meals like this may take longer to digest-it's no problem :) . If he is eating and otherwise healthy, no big deal. Are you sure he didn't poop already? Lactulose isn't a totally benign...
Helminth (worm egg), not coccidia nor amoeba. Probably not a big deal given that it looks pretty rare in the stool, but decision to treat is best left to a shared effort/discussion between you and the vet of course which should consider clinical history and trajectory.
