Sounds like a plan. The cage is the reptibreeze XL, its one of the biggest off the shelf cages you can get. So they will sleep and spend sunning time in it. Then you can lock them in the bathroom (or a bedroom full of plants) for a few hours several times a week. That seems to "do it". Even...

Its not going to change humidity. But a hepa is complete overkill for dust. Hepa is great for smoke, pollutants, and bacteria. but the filters are way too restrictive and power hungery for just "dust dander pet hair". As i said in another thread, if its just dust, retro fit one(air cleaner)...

Id only run an air purifier with "pet hair and dander" and pollen season. As ehdee6 eludes to, increased air circulation will lead to less mold growth ect. The increased circulation will make things not damp, and well all that evaporated water is going into the air, which is increasing the...

As ehdee6 stated. A broken old school mouth thermometer has the same health risk as breaking 100 bulbs at once. If the bulb shattered on the cork, yea i would be worried about vacuuming up all the microshards of glass. But as long as the cork was in a box, you are fine. If you want to give...

We broke heat records oct 13th. And guess who decided after 6 weeks of no contact, to walk half way across the house and get lost in the kitchen.

Skip a feeding of Repashy Calcium Plus LoD. She might be getting a wee too much supplements, and a simple few weeks off may fix it. Also switch to feeding every other day, or even every three days (so 5 feedings every 2 weeks) since she is a female. Over feeding gives you lots of eggs.

Its the amount of D3 in each popular supplement. So LoD has 8,000 thingies, while regular has more than double that. Meanwhile others could have ten times the amount, or a quarter of the amount.

Welcome to being a girl mom. Basking temp is "ok", might be a bit high if ambient is 75. 80-85 is fine in the winter when ambient is below 70 all day long. 85 is on the high side for an inexperienced keeper with a teenage girl veiled. But it is around that time that she can start producing...

Some oustaleti morphs can make the O. The oustaleti and verrucosus have such a huge color and pattern range. They can be green and mossy, they can be pretty red, and they can be pretty much black and white. I ended up with a pretty much brown oustaleti, he could never turn black or green...

Looka Likea Oustalet's or spiny/warty. Aka the panthers that never made it to the paint booth. The tell tail is the white dots with black outline. https://www.jungledragon.com/specie/25772/spiny_chameleon.html

Its mainly tobacco and tomatoes. Each nightshade as their own "toxin" and a huge range of where its stored and how much. Bell peppers store the bad solanine in the green parts of the plant. And like tomatoes, the fruit stores the solanine(mind you very low amounts for both plants) in the...

Nightshade is nightshade. You feed a hormworm hornworm chow and you are fine. You feed a hornworm tobacco and tomato leaves, and ded, they will naturally concentrate the toxin. Tomato plant "fruit" has the same toxins(natural insecticide) as the leaves, just in much smaller amounts.

Yes but each coccidia is "mostly" keyed to whatever infected them. Birds infect birds. mammals infect mammals. Your cat can get it from the neighbors cat, and give it to you when cleaning out the litter box. That coccidia is not going to leap to the bird or reptile population.
