He’s been shedding and I noticed Something on his back that wasn’t there before. Red spots! And a brighter shade of green. His colors are slowly coming back. Slow progress but proud of what we have made For those of you who don’t know, Danny came from a chain pet store that is known for...

I read somewhere that melafix could be harmful to the labyrinth organ, but I’m not sure I don’t know too much else about it. I did a water change and gave him another dose of bettafix for now. It says it’s a general antibacterial treatment. I’ll be able to go to the pet store tomorrow. And get...

Yes swimming has been hard for him so he lays at the bottom most of the time. So do you think I should stop using the bacterial treatment and find the MELA+PIMAFIX? Would a pet store sell that or is that something I need to order online? I don’t have an air stone handy but I can definitely...

For reference, here’s when I first got him This was 2 years ago. He was ~1 year old in this picture. His color is more dull now and his eyes too

It was a little difficult to get a pic of him.but his stomach doesn’t look sunken in to me.

I got something called API betta fix that treats most bacterial infections. I’ve moved him to a quarantine tank and started treatment

Update: he’s moved to the other side of the tank and ate a couple bites of food

I got him from petsmart. I know now that they don’t take the best care of their fish. He was surprisingly healthy when I got him though. I know that the Betta they sell are around 1 year old

Yes. It’s a 10 gallon tank with a tetra filter and a heater that keeps it at 78-80 degrees

Is anyone here familiar with bettas and/or betta health issues? I got my male (Zuko) back in Dec of 2020. I think it’s around 2+ years old. He’s starting to act very strange. I first noticed his fins looking a little rough so performed a water change and kept an eye on him. He didn’t improve so...

I want to do a webcam for my reptiles. Any idea of a good brand/type that isn’t overly expensive? Preferably one that has a night vision option too (my crestie is a nocturnal gecko)

Yes! They gave me a little test tube like thing and I brought them back a sample. It was about $10 to have them test it and $12 for his dewormer. Danny won’t let me handle him yet either. I’ve held him once or twice and it’s definitely not his favorite thing

As for the orange urate, I had a similar issue with my boy. Took him to the vet and turns out he had parasites! He’s finished his treatment and is doing better now :) Your veiled looks great! Chameleons are so exciting and fulfilling reptiles to keep.

Oh that’s adorable!

I was told every 6 months but I have an Arcadia too and now I’m curious to know if it will last longer

From what I understand the only possible “reasoning” they have for doing this is to try and lower the amount of invasive species. This is the only reason I could think of, but it still seems like so much of a stretch. Things like red eared sliders, burmese pythons, and tegus can become...

My new crestie! Estimated about 5-6months. I believe it’s a female (as no testes are visible yet) She doesn’t have a name yet but here’s some we considering: Mercury Sylvie Fawn Echo Eowyn Penny

Yes! I work at a nature center and it looks a lot like our gopher tortoise. What a great sight

He looks handsome! Can’t wait to see more of him.

But of course, always get a vets opinion as well. This is just my advice!
