Sounds great. Thanks

I was just wondering if his entire cage should get wet when misting? He seems to hang out under his basking light and doesn't go into the mist when it goes off. There's a live plant on the same side as his basking light so I leave that whole side dry.

Thank you all so much. I changed his timers to 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes before bed. I also changed it to 7 minute sprays throughout the day. Should the cage get wet all over? I don't have it mist the left side of his cage because of his basking spot and there's a live plant I...

I have a 9 month old male Jackson. Everything is great except he won't drink in his cage. Not that I've seen and he starts to look dehydrated so I give him a shower. 30 minutes and he's back to normal. I see him drink in the shower right away. He has a dripper that runs all day and he has a...

She has been shedding for 3 weeks now. She has big patches of skin that haven't fallen off yet. She has never had trouble before. It's cold here now and the temps in her cage were low. I raised the temps and she did shed a little more. It's about 75-80 degrees where she normally hangs out. She...

Lovereps, thanks a ton for the links. I did hatch some flies and gave them the orange cubs. They wouldn't touch them. As soon as I put some fly food in there they started eating it.

If no one knows I will just feed the flies the food I get from the mantis place. Thanks

Does anyone have any information about this?

I've had great luck feeding them and keeping them healthy on the fly food from mantisplace.com: http://tinyurl.com/bzymr8o But I just had her at the University of Wisconsin Vet Hospital and was told that's great we are keeping the flies healthy, but we need to gut load the flies just like we...

I've been using other foods for the flies, but vet said its not a gut load and I should use the orange cubes. @rush2112 Thanks! great tip!

Thanks a ton. Found a spot to get them too.

Can I feed blue bottle flies Flukers orange gut load? Went to the vet today and he said that would possible.

Just a quick note for anyone following...she has been getting her strength back (slowly) and is not sleeping at all during the day. Overall getting better I would say, but now she is closing her left eye so I left a message for the vet. Sorry so brief this time.

Just got word from home she laid that last egg! WOOT! :D

Good to hear! She was not an adult when we got her and she was captive bred so she's gotta be less than 1.5 years old. I'm shocked how many of those relatively large eggs she had in her! Its like a clown car :)

Hello! She looked a little better today (but still not good). On our way to the new vet she laid an egg in the little container we had her in! It wasn't very calcified though. The new vet was great and clearly knows what she is doing (Finally found a decent vet!!). She wasn't nearly as...

Thank you very much for the info and advise! I called the other vet and explained my situation (and the other vet) and they assured me their vet prides herself in reptiles and can help us no matter what size she is. Sure hope that is the case and its not too late. Appointment is tomorrow...

So the vet called me back. She said I should add calcium to the force feeding and continue with the showers once or twice per day and also keep up the repta+boost. She reiterated that there is nothing more she could do besides an xray, but even if she does that there is nothing she is able to...

Excellent thank you for the info I will call the other vet in town right now (they had better reviews when I looked online, but had no appointments originally). I did call this other vet back since I hadn't gotten a call and that's when I was told she would call after her morning appointments...

Thanks for the replies and I'll PM Dooley for sure. Still waiting on the vet call...they told me she will call after her morning visits...ugh. She said she does see reptiles frequently, but I didn't get the feeling she was comfortable with it. She talked about doing an xray, but then said...
