Ugh I'm so sorry to hear you're going through something like this too--it's so stressful and worrying. I hope everything goes super smoothly for you both, we'll be sending you a bunch of warm thoughts.
You've probably already seen this, but there is a thread of Herp Vets listed by area here on...
I will ask for the #s. I can't imagine it's a lot, but the vet was so confident and cavalier about it maybe it's more common than I'm realizing. Thanks very much for the feedback.
No X-Rays yet, thanks for suggesting. I will ask about doing one. This vet seemed to sort of jump to the reproductive issue as the cause, but it sounds like maybe there are more options we can exhaust before being left with that only option.
Hey Folks,
This is a "can you share your experience" ask, not a diagnosis request:
We're having a scary couple of weeks with Peach our 9 mo old F. Pardalis. We have had her for about 3 mos and have been super focused on her husbandry and overall care. She's been a strong eater, pooper and...
I personally love the idea of being able to have a bank of links in particular that were crowd-sourced via a wiki. I am sure all of us have found great external resources and it would save people a lot of time for nice pile of them in one place. I'd use it and I would certainly do my best to...
You're definitely not alone, I have been surprised by the amount of "side" research required, and the continued debate about certain topics. We've already spent a fair amount of $$ on items we thought we needed and then switched out for more appropriate products/approaches. The thing that I...
I do think the carehsheets here that I have seen were better than the ones I got at the Store (and surprisingly) the Vet. However I do think there is a TON of opaque information that seems to require a ton of research (to your point). In particular around UVB exposure values targets.
I am a...
I just made one similar too!! Nice job :D I'm enjoying mine a bunch. I have a digital timer running my schedule as well which is 100% better than hand-misting for sure :P
Also depending on if you like little build projects or not, you can construct your own misting/rain system pretty easily as well. I thought the MistKing was great, but looked like over-kill for my single enclosure. Instead I built a basic rain shower system for like $45. I used a submersible...
Ya know something like this would have been super rad when I first saw the website, as like a pinned post or something. I had been looking around (perhaps casually) for something like it but didn't stumble upon it. Is there a way to do something like that: pin a post like this to the very top of...
Have you found a good place to order the Arcadia products from (other than Light Your Reptiles)? I have noticed their stuff seems harder to find. Are they based in the UK?
Do you have a Solarmeter? I just got one and I am using it to help me decide which bulbs I like best for my setup. It's like oddly expensive, but it giving me huge piece of mind to know exactly the UVB index that is making it through at various levels and spots in the enclosure.
