I ordered an "explorium" for Dipped in Butter, and it arrived today. It is a popup mesh enclosure that hangs up. I ordered the medium, and it is pretty big.
I wanted something so that I could have Butter go outside for a few hours. I live in the desert, and I wanted something that I...
When I was buying crickets, I over estimated how much Butter has grown, and bought medium crickets....but when I got them home, I realized that the crickets are way bigger than his mouth.... Dipped in Butter is now about 4 inches from snout to vent but once I put the crix in the cage, I realized...
If you don't have insurance.....
Go to high desert hospital/clinic. In Lancaster on Avenue I and 60th west. Or just go to the ER at AV Hosptial. You NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR.
Emergency Room
Or urgent care. I don't know exactly where you live in CA, but I am in the Antelope Valley. I was bitten a couple years back by a brown recluse. It started out looking like a blister, and then all heck broke loose. I spent a wonderful day in the ER, and was on several...
Can I put my baby veiled (I'm thinking he is now about 3 months old give or take a week or two !!) outside in 100 + in partial/complete shade ? Or is it just too hot to do that ? Will he get any benefits from being outside in the shade, or does he need to be in direct sunlight to benefit from...
I too live in the desert of california. I have not taken my baby veiled cham outside because our daily average temperature is over 100. I just ordered a small mesh hanging enclsure for him to go out for an hour or so on the weekends when I can keep an eye on the temp. I figure he can go out...
I am so sorry that your children had to be wittness to a terrible accident. No matter how we try to protect them, life happens. As for your neighbor.....there IS karma in the world....
Again, my sincere regrets on hearing of the loss of your dog.
I have had my baby veiled for a month. He looks well hydrated, but I have NEVER seen him drink. I mist 2 to 3 times daily, and have a slow dripper going that cascades over leaves in his cage.
I think he is a "secret" drinker.
I use a small cricket keeper, and they dont get out, and I'm keeping small crickets in there. Hint. keep the black tubes in the holes, and the clear cap on the outside end. I put one egg cuppy in there, and a small food dish with carrots/vegies and cricket jello stuff.
I put the large ficus in a watering saucer that is very close fitting to the pot, I also have a smaller umbrella plant that I put in there yesterday, to see if having a smaller height plant will encourage Butter to explore the lower 1/3 of his enclosure.
In the mornings, after misting, I...
I have a pet sitter that comes to my home, and stays the night with my dogs. She also feeds and cares for my parrot, and bunny. I can't say that she loves the reptiles, but she met and cared for "Butter" this month when my daughter and I were away for two nights.
I found her through a pet...
move slowly. put your hand, finger in front of him, and nudge his tail to get him to walk up onto your hand. slow, and easy is what does the trick for me.
