I do think she had/has some MBD. The ppl at the pet store think the guy who had her before did not have any UVB bulb. Plus she doesn't/can't close her mouth all the way. She can be a bit slow at times, ie turning around to go back the way she came. But now she gets her calcium & a uvb bulb &...
outtings
I have taken Simone out a couple of times with me & she seems to like it.
I took her into Tractor Supply with me & a local cat rescue was having an adoption event. I stopped by to say how I like rescue & adoptions & to give them kudos. I had her on my hand & suddenly one of them said...
Here are the latest pics of my girl. recovered nicely, shed a bit, & the Dino Fuel has made her colors soooooo nice. I love the sky blue, mint green & orange.
Here's a thought, years ago I was told by someone I was dating that I couldn't name a goldfish "Spot" I was told..."that's a dog's name"
So I named him Fido!!
lol
of course teaching him to fetch might be a problem...
woof woof
Dino fuel
:DI can't say enough good stuff about Dino Fuel, it really helped Simone recover from laying eggs, I feed it to my crickets & worms & dust tem with it. She has become more active & hunts with a vengance now. Her colors are definately brighter too. Pictures to be posted soon.
My...
one 5.0 bulb
I decided to use the single fixture (in addition to her basking bulb).
I put in the new 5.0 tube & now after only 5 days she seems more active & has started hunting the crickets like a champ. SHe is still slow & sometimes unsteady (pretty sure it's the MBD) but she is active &...
I am sorry to report that all of Simone's eggs shrunk & were bad. Actually a bit of a relief as I didn't know how I would tend to so many, (but still a disappointment too)
She seems to have recovered from the ordeal nicely, I got her a 5.o reptiglo tube light & in even the last 5 days she has...
Oh yeah...definately get a laying bin in there, Simone (was Simon) laid eggs 3 weeks after I brought her home. (at the pet store they said she was a male)
As soon as I got the sand in there, she laid eggs the next night. 37 of them!
I had wondered why she was cranky... but if I had all those...
Heu there, I just got a very nice 2 tube fixture but it's made for (2) 18" bulbs. I can use just one, but I was wondering if using 2 of the 2.0 bulbs would work.
Simone went for a ride with me last Sat & she wasn't stressed at all... stayed her calm colors & only got cranky when I put her...
vERY NICE!!
That looks great! You used foam (like great stuff) for the rocks, I assume. What type of paint did you use?
now I wish I had taked that curio cabinet at the yard sale, was free cause most of the glass was broken out.
Did you use metal screening?

I was checking out lightyourreptiles.com & saw these LED daylight units.
They say: The energy efficient, long life, ultra-bright LED chips emit a sharp spectrum of light promoting growth and color
Anyone heard of these or using them?
Sue:confused:
no history
I have no idea if she was with a male, I adopted her from Petco & they said she was a male... I'm thinking they were wrong.
she had been surrendered to them with pelvis injury (broken)
they had her 3 months & she was here 3 weeks & laid 37 eggs!
:eek:
