If the infection bacterial and he is eating, that Fortaz will do wonders! Suggestion: wait until lights out and he’s been slumbering for an hour or so and give him the injections quickly and get out. That’s the least stressful way and they hardly seem to notice, though they tolerate the needle...
It COULD make her neck better and prevent further occurrence, but it WILL improve her health and quality of life, regardless.
You can use water, but it’s easy to lose crix to drowning and it’s tedious to keep clean. If you use enough babyfood and dry mix to have it consumed by the middle of the...
With a correct gutload of wet and dry ingredients, you shouldn’t need to supply any additional moisture to your feeders. You can use organic babyfood as a moist gutload and rely on cricket crack or big buffet as a dry gutload and that’s the minimalist approach. Freshly chopped dark, leafy...
I’d cast a suspicious eye on the Flukers cricket diet, as its likely glorified poultry feed, full of inappropriate amounts of vitamins, while fully lacking in meaningful gutload ingredients. You need to change what you are feeding the feeders and there are lots of resources available to tell you...
Stopping and starting antibiotics without veterinarian supervision/advice is a recipe for resistant infections and bad outcomes. Baytril is not the easiest on a chamelon’s system and if there’s been no improvement in a months time, the infection is in danger of infecting the bone and may not be...
Jacksons are naturally a montane species, but the commonly available species are WC from the introduces populations in Hawaii. Those animals are seen to occupy areas of full sun and experience lots of UVA/UVB exposure, though they can always retreat into the heart of a shrub, bush, or tree to...
Don't use a D3 product except as directed for using the Repashy plus. Your plain calcium supplement should be phosphorus free and you should rely more on dark, leafy greens as a gutload, than on fruits. Fruit is higher in Phosphorus, with a few exceptions.
The approach above would be the only acceptable use for blue bulbs and serves no harm, though is wholly optional. I think it is wise to taper lighting down and. It have it all come on and off at once.
I would consider Arcardia bulbs and fixtures due to their surprise performance and having the pleasure of discussing your set-up, environment ( are you in a warm/dry/wet/cool climate? ), what is your enclosure made from? (screen filters light), an so on, with @Venutus1 , of lightyourreptiles.com...
@jamest0o0 , absolutely T5s are appropriate, here, but it is more cost conscious and will do more for the plants and cut down on electricity use, humidity reduction, and it will be better to keep things cooler. It depends on the OP's environment. T5's generate a lot of heat and the spectrum...
In my opinion CBB melleri are still more difficult than CBB parsonii. They are incredibly sensitive to stress, under/over supplementation ( need more than parsons, but less than veileds and need preformed A ), the wrong medications, and disturbances in their social order, even solitary melleri...
I would suggest a culture and sensitivity and immediate change of antibiotics, preferably to injectible Fortaz, until the results are back. You are over supplementing.
Plain Ca 3-4 times per week and the Repashy Plus only once every other week or very lightly once per week. You need to get him...
I'd use your T8 fixtures for all LED retrofits and just grab a mercury vapor bulb. If you need more specific information, regarding wattage and such, you can PM me.
I started the outdoor enclosures, but I was traveling during the heat of the Summer and I didn't trust leaving them outdoors, in soaring temperatures, even with automated misting. I felt placing them outside and pulling them back in over and over would be more stressful than them staying put. I...
These guys are just coming up on a year with me and I'll be cycling them, this Winter.
I find the YL to have the most outgoing personalities, but my experience is limited to this pair of YL and a couple pairs of OE, plus heresay regarding YG.
In my opinion, for panthers, if you were going to have the fixture rating on top of the enclosure, I'd use the 38" T8. If you want to hang the fixture above the enclosure and plan to have it a few to several inches from the top of the screen, use the T5. HO refers to high output and I would go...
