Hi Dodolah will get the butterworms just so you know i didnt leave him on the floor i picked him up and put him on his perch again he is still on there now fingers crossed. thx for the link Slofe.

We had to baby him a little by putting the waxie in front of him he was shooting his toung but it was falling short i'm sort of putting it down to him being weak from dehydration and hunger. He showed a intrest in it as soon as he saw it but was a bit slow on going for it. wasnt untill it was...

Hi Sazzy here is wha ive found so far but they are out of stock :( http://www.silkworm-supplies.co.uk/ HI Dodolah, yes it was a bowel clensing, she gave no indication to what was causing him to be anorexic other than the change of crickets???? He is on the cloths dryer in the sun atm and...

Hi Dodolah, what did the vet do in making him better? Good question she was vague here's what she did, an enama, 3 x-ray's, metacam injection x2, baytril injection x2, he stayed in over night so the inj's were evening and morning she also gave me some AVIPRO PLUS with vitamins A,C & E to mix...

Thanks Fred i will contact the pet shop to see if they can get me some horn worms to help him on his way, i am hopeing that the vet was ok they said they did reptiles i found them in an exotic vet search so i hope they know what they were doing if not i just wasted £120, cheers winston,

Thanks for all your help here's an update im in the process of sorting the viv set up thanks to dodolah's advice he is currently at the vet's i don't think they are too sure about what he needs because we had to leave him there they are looking at him now and want to take blood and x-ray him ive...

i will play on the safe side and aim for 15c and see where we go. also would you recomend directley misting him to try and rehydrate him?

never knew they would cope with temps that low i was told that going down to 20C was enough of a drop hopefully with the heatmat out it will drop and i will see if there is a vet a bit closer to home i can get to first

thank you, right heatmat and substrate out paper towels in tripple the misting and adjust the heat i should have come on here before buying him ive been looking in to it for about 2 yrs but everyone says diffrent things one shop i went to said dont bother with a big viv and you can chuch him...
