Hi Beman, sorry for my late reply its been a bit crazy. Attached is the solarmeter reading and yes he basks in this spot or close to it all the time.

Soooooo its been a day.... I gathered myself and calmed down before I phoned the vet that saw Leon last weekend and she is currently on leave until next week Wednesday. The receptionist sounded so busy that she was hardly listening to what i was saying which ultimately annoyed me even...

No, no not banking on it at all, im very concerned about him and looking at all my options here. I dont want to make another "mistake" like the first vet visit, and to be honest I'm very annoyed by the whole situation with the vet and the parasite flush. That's why I haven't contacted her I...

I had a breeder come and have a look at Leon, and he agrees with what you guys have been saying Re the vet visit. He also did a little experiment by showing Leon my female (their enclosure is divided and he can't see her) and he went the most amazing colours!! I've never seen him have these sort...

Yes black soldier flies (they were larvae now they flies) silkworms are out of season here oy September (im based in South Africa) not sure and based on a quick google search dosent look like I can get green banana roaches, red runners or wax worms here. Attached is a standard list of bugs I...

Yes thank you, I screen shot that image when I first got them so I can refer back to it if need be. I have some black soldier flies so ill try give him those again the last time I tried those they all escaped his enclosure. Hes honestly just lost interest in food. Any shape or form but will try...

Yeah sorry, the conversation progressed from the female to the male. Because he's not eating, hes not pooping. So can't get a fecal to test

The problem is hes not "going" i can see urates in his enclosure but no brown poop. I'm guessing because he's not eating hes not pooping. I am keeping him well hydrated and even sat with the mister bottle misting into his mouth. The vets going to ask me if I gave him that 3 day course. 🤷🏻‍♀️...

Hi ERKIeRose, long story short no (please see previous post on this feed for the story) the vet didn't do a fecal test but gave Leon a parasite flush anyway

Yeah I guess your right, I only want the best for my two, and thinking a vet would know her stuff well..... it won't happen again thats for sure. On that note I didnt give him his 3 day course of drops.. after everything I read I just decided it was a no! My male still isn't eating so it is a...

Thanks Beman I will follow suite. This will not happen again thats for sure

Yes this makes alot of sence and based on what you are saying i fully fully agree!! For the first time vet visit I honestly didn't know what to expect and for the next one I will be more prepared. How offten would you recommend a fecal test being done, as and when there is an issue or on a more...

I'll go look for this book thanks

Oh my gosh Beman😱 what would you suggest that I do? Do I give him his meds tomorrow 2mil per dose (per day) or do I not give it to him?

OMG!!!! Really?? I didnt know that 😱😱 She said to me that because they eat crickets/bugs and insects its good to do a parasite flush every 6 months?? I honestly can't tell you what exactly she gave them, as the invoice only says parasite flush small 🤬 As mentioned to you in a previous...
