Totally okay to ask. I am checking on this guy hourly for the past 6 weeks and feel I know him pretty well- but admit I am not a vet. 2 days ago while giving him his food and medicine, he started choking and when he was attempting to breath he was wheezing really bad and could not get any air...

6 weeks later I am happily surprised that Rango is still with us. Not doing great but hanging in there. After a month of following the first vet's advice, Rango threw up after a feeding. OMG was that scary and the next day I took him to a new vet. Bloodwork showed phosphates 10 and calcium...

Thank you @Thehippie !!!!! You make us feel so much better with your advice. Yes I took mine to the vet immediately because of advice on this forum and he was immediately better after getting some vitamin shots and healthy food.

He has opened both eyes for 3 days in a row, which makes me jump for joy but he still won't walk or move on his own. I mean he walks when I am force feeding him and he is trying to get away but in his cage he just sits in one spot all day. I know he is getting so much better but I really want...

I want to know too. It looks perfect for climbing!!!

Oh I'm worried about him. He looks so much better than my little guy so I'm hopeful for you. I'm a new owner so I don't have any advice but there are some really smart people on this blog and I'm sure they will have great advice for you.

Would love your opinion on a cage. I want to get him a 4 foot cage, in hopes that one day he will move off the perch he has lived on for the past 2 weeks. I found a used one super cheap but since it is not screen I don't know if this is the best option for him. It is 20x 31x 50. How awesome...

wow she is just beautiful!!! She is lucky to have you taking care of her.

Okay, Thank you. It's not as easy as before when he was basically in a coma but I will continue. His choice, eat on your own or I'm keeping you alive by force feeding. I will continue to offer a cricket and worms each morning before feeding him. When I went to get him tonight to give him his...

I believe you all have saved this little guys life!!!! I don't know what I would've done without you. Telling me to take him to the vet may have been obvious to you but I don't think I would've done it without you telling me to do it NOW. It has been 2 weeks and 2 days since I took him to the...

Beautiful set up. How did you build the fog system?

@Brodybreaux25 no I didn't. And I never thought I would get up in the middle of the night to take care of a sick lizard! This is a crazy ride.

He is not willing to eat anything. Everything requires opening his mouth and shoving in food, can't wait till the day he will go after food. I took the night heat lamp out per your suggestions- Thank you. This morning I was able to get calcium drops and carnivore food in him and then I had him...

Another quick question. The vet said he was too cold at night so I bought a nighttime incandescent heat bulb but now I just read that is a no no. Tonight it will get down to 61 and wed night 54. I thought these were okay temperatures, your thoughts? He was moving for the first time this...

I'm going to keep this thread going unless I should do this another way. I think you all are going to help me save Rango. Injecting the hornworms with his medicine is genius - I would've never thought. I just ordered him a bunch and hope they come before Thanksgiving. I feel like he should...
