Hey All!! just wanted to put up some new photos of Opti. He's fighting back from that nasty eye infection and looking good. He still closes his left eye every now and then, but his overall condition has improved vastly. Vet follow up to come in a week or two.
Here is his new location, our...
Ya gotta go with XL model!!LOL!!I think the bottom door is on the med-XL models. I did the same to the bottom as well. I went ahead and cut a large square out in the middle of it and put it underneath the frame on the top of the stand I made. Crickets were shacking up in the folds and keeping us...
Great point dragongoddess, and thank you for making it. There can be at times a level of tension in theses posts. I'am 28 years old and have been raising reptiles since I was six. I even worked in the reptile house at my local zoo for a few years before I joined the military, and I'am humbled by...
I love the Zoomed Reptibreeze. It was easy to set up, sturdy, and provides as full, unobstructed view. The bottom door allows for easy cleaning. With all the Zoomed pimping I do on this forum, you would think I work for them!!
That's where I got mine. A standard 24 inch shop light. All I had to do was add a cord. If you buy one from a store, your looking at 70-90 dollars on line, and into the triple digits at a big box or mom and pop store. Just out of curiosity, why a dual light? I decided to scap mine and go back to...
Good find. I'am more curious as to where the connection between excessive feeding and MDB is made, or if it's an augment to the proposed supplement schedule. I've always followed the 20 minute rule with no ill effect, but I do hold Brad in high regard! Got my spider scense tingling!!!!
Little guys are voracious eaters. They pack on calories quickly in order to beat out mother nature. One general rule of thumb is feed as many as they will eat in 20 minutes a few times a day, making sure to remove any uneaten crickets. You can also do a quick search of the forums and find some...
From personal experience, I gotta tell you, go to a vet. If there is a foreign body in his eye, either biological or other, it needs to be removed by someone qualified to diagnois and treat him. In the mean time, increase his mistings and times, three to four times a day for 5-10 minutes with...
I did a quick search and did not find a thread. There were just to many post that hit the search query to browse.
Found the thread. Interesting stuff. I still see a veil of stigma attached to the idea, though I see it as being beneficial if done in small, spread out sessions: ie; once a month...
I was reading the August 2009 issue of Reptiles magazine, and found a wonderful article on supplementation. The following is an excerpt from the article regarding vitamin A supplementation:
" More than a decade ago a big scare concerning vitamin A toxicity panicked chameleon keepers, and...
