    Respiration question

    So he just did what sounded to be a cough or a sneeze while he was sleeping.. I checked on him right after and he was still asleep but propped up.. Then he lowered himself back down to sleeping posture. All with his eyes closed. His mouth was closed too.

    pro exotics temp gun question

    So I just bought this temp gun off of amazon and realized the picture is completely different than the one on the tempgun.com website... Did I get an older model or something http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0009OBFW4/

    Distance between top to basking

    My basking light is 60 watts. It sits elevated a couple inches from the top. My uvb tube is right next to it laying directly on top of the cage. His basking branch is about 5-6 inches down. Wattage comes into consideration. If higher watt bulb u may have to elevate more. I get about 87-92...

    Respiration question

    Maybe Its the humidity but its usually 50-70 percent. I have a aquazamp in the mail as well. His urates are perfect with lots of white. He drinks like a champ too. I really hope I can rule out the RI I'll see if things change when he gets his automated misting system That could explain the...

    Superworm addiction

    Every way possible man. Hand feeeding. Cup feeding. I even have a feeding cup with mesh they run up and he still doesn't want them. He just loves his supers he eats them right out of my gfs hand. So I'm going to try the strike thing I guess. BTW spork do you have any silkies available I have...

    Superworm addiction

    OKay. I think I am going to try 4 days and then show him some. He is due for panacur on the 16th as well anyways.. I forgot to mention he was on that 2 weeks ago for a small case of single celled parasite(I forget the name).. it wasn't anything major though, he was eating fine while on it as...

    Respiration question

    When I handle him he constantly wants to climb. At the same time I can hear him breathing heavily like if we were sprinting or something.. Just the sound of him breathing literally. But that's the only time I hear it. His saliva is more than a few strands.. But sometimes its not there at all...

    Respiration question

    Yes that could be. But the saliva is what has me worried as well as the hard breathing when he's being handled. I guess I'll see if anything gets noticeably worse

    Respiration question

    I see the saliva sometimes in the morning. Not usually anytime after that. He gapes when I come by really wide but I was talking about him just leaving his mouth open enough to breathe, and ever since I lowered my temps a few degrees he does it a lot less it feels like. Huffing is from his...

    Respiration question

    That's what I wanted to do. But Dr. Greek is seriously the best vet for a chemeleon I can find in this area.. He's all over this forum as well. For southern California at least. I don't want to question his knowledge but i'm just terribly worried.

    Superworm addiction

    Well despite me worrying about him not getting enough food. I will try and starve him for a few days again. I tried 3 days before but maybe more is necessary as you pointed out. Its bizarre to me that hornworms were once his favorite and now he won't touch them.Same goes with Dubia's Only...

    Superworm addiction

    My 10 month old panther Ned refuses to eat any feeder but super worms for about a week and a half now. I've tried hornworms ,dubia, and crickets. He used to eat all of these and now hisses when I present them to him. He went three days without eating anything and then I gave in and he instantly...
