I said "***". We came on here looking for advice but instead we are being criticized for not doing things in the way 'you' do them. Although I am a realist, I also try to look at every perspective to see if maybe I'm wrong. But for people to assume that we are doing or did something wrong with...

In Groot when he became darker he was stressed out. You could tell by the way he carried himself and hissed at everything. He only did that when he was shedding. The brighter he was the happier he was. He was an amazingly unique animal.

This is the Mary part of Mary and Dave. We were told by the place online we got our Chameleon that it will be fine to have the tree frogs in the same terrarium. That they would not harm him or him them. He slept with the frogs, which we thought was strange since they're nocturnal. He was never...

Zer never stress Groot out at all he never turned dark as in him feeling threatened infect he would always go bright green when him and zer were together i know a lot of ppl say yes they cant be in a habitat with other animals BUT also if the habitat was big enough it would be fine Groot and...

Well in a way they are paying for their poor care of them they will be shipping to the vet in ny witch will cost them min of 50 dollors plus they will be holding him for 72 hours witch then they will be supplying food for that time and they have to set up a proper enclosure for him do to my...

Ya looks to me like a scab as well

Ya the ones here are really bad as well however i did just call them. And they said that they would cover Apollo for 6 months. And that i can bring him in for a Free vet visit they would just have to set it up and hold him for 72 hours. Witch i mean is great on their i will give them that i...

See that's what i was thinking as well cause petco here doesn't really take the right care of most of their reptiles. wondering if he will be ok with it or not like i said he seems to be eating fine and drinking fine as of now. i wasn't saying Apollo was inbred Groot for sure was though.

Yes he was regular. He was not my first reptile I have had many in the past from iguana's to skinks. And this isn't about groot so unless you have any idea about the question that was asked i am not trying to sound mean or anything just i know what was wrong with him did some looking up and the...

He didn't have anything - he was inbred which caused health issues. We will go to New York to have him looked at, which isn't a problem, but as far as the issue Groot had, it wasn't contagious.

So, the other day our Groot died. :-( Imbreeding had a part to play in his untimely death along with the vets around here not accepting reptiles as patients due to them not "specializing" in them... So - having his 36x24x36 open air terrarium fully equipped with a repti fogger, all the lighting...

Yes - they said because they're not reptile specialists. They do not feel qualified to provide proper care to our pet. We live in southern VT and there isn't much around here. All the other vets are closed so we left a ton of messages from here to Mass and NY

They won't do it. :-(

OMG, that would be so horrible. What if we brought him outside with us? It's about 20 degrees here. Would he feel anything or just go to sleep? We got him in September and he's our baby... WE don't want him to be in pain and smashing him with a brick is just... It's not something we can do.

My chameleon has had 5 seizures now. He's lost control of all motor functions. Yesterday he was completely fine. He's almost dead now. Vets around here don't do anything for lizards and such. Any ideas of how we can ease his pain and passing and make it quick? I know it must sound horrible, but...
