Well due to the descriptions on that page hatchlings that have to be misted and kept in humid environments to offset body water loss are sure fire targets for infection. Egg infection.. sure it seems to be that way with other reptiles since they require a living cell to reproduce long living...

Take a q-tip and swab it out There's a good chance it's just a bit of collected and dried mucus OR some bit of cricket matter that's left over from not bushing and flossing. Give her some water to drink up and things will be fine. :D

interested... can you post a pict? I can also sell you a cage or two But if you're looking for a good home... I can provide that too :)

My question is: How do you know you're experiencing Vitamin A Overdosing? what symptoms is your animal showing? Have you had some testing of the animal? Synthetic Vitamin A may not be metabolized out of the animals system It's fat soluble and will stored in the liver reference I would...

Thanks dave, Yes I can see that the animals may be suffering from a form of Beriberi disease It could explain what may be happening with the lowed reaction and tongue movements someone might try mixing some green algae (spirulina tablets) into the diet if one is concerned about dosing with...

Sorry to hear about the situation tonight they may still be all good to go my fingers are crossed for ya!

True in human studies mammal studies there is a negative feedback loop so that the more that is processed the metabolites inhibit further enzyme conversion However I wasn't 100% sure retarding herps and was playing it safe. :rolleyes: btw. I went out tonight shopping and located a $3.00...

Don't worry I spoke to liddy today they've been flooded with messages after a MS Windows "upgrade" toasted two motherboards and took them down and offline for an extended time. If you go to their homepage you'll see their notice. I have lots of respect for them (ed and liddy) Both your animal...

I been fielding a few calls from people in the last few months regarding their animals health issues. Specifically: Lack of overall muscle tone Tongue retraction issues (swallowed tongue?) Chameleons not "shooting" but walking up and attempting to bit prey? After looking around and...

Wow, Sorry to hear about your loss. I did a little looking around and suspect that this large genera of (coffin/scuttle flies) may have been introduced in with his feeders (dirty pet store supplied crickets) infections do seem quite nasty if the eggs can make it past the stomach I'm...

Yeah I just got off the phone with mulberry It's going to take a few more weeks to get the US Government to approve his paperwork. Until then, it's going to be a silkie less mid summer. hornworms are still available for those that are interested.

question: How much should I pay for a ford truck? Toyota, and a compact car (honda) answer: that depends. The breeders compete against each other at the shows they know the quality of their and others stock before the show opens and have a better eye than the customer base If they're up...

I got a BIG bag of 10,000 of the little boogers before I fed them out I always crushed their heads with a pair of feeding tongs. (just to be safe)

Yeah kent there was a tremor today I felt it... nobody else in the office did.. just me. I'm really good at picking up vibrations in the subsonic range. it was less than a 1.0 by the time it got to us. 5.8 isn't a "big" quake people it's just one that rattles all the noobs that moved into...

I buy all my silkies and horns from mulberry farms They're close enough if you get a bunch and split the load with others you'll save $$$. (hint hint* PM me for a group buy) I just checked the mulberry site and they've stopped shipping their silkies due to some USDA hassle that should be take...

Don't rule out that the nematodes may also be coming from your plant and not from the insides of your animal and that your problems may be due to something else. If your animal is a wild caught import there's a good chance that it is infected. All I'm saying is that it's not good to be...

I agree with chris. (he beat me too it) You've got to remember that all of these animals are "new" and the husbandry is still in its infancy. I'm sure that there's some records on the results of crossings kept by the more advanced and established keepers / breeders that have worked on their...

Ed and Liddy are IMNSHO the gold standard in customer service and ethics. The only company I would recommend higher would be .... (myself) ;) -Jeweled Chameleons

"If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself us, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern -William Blake (The marriage of heaven and hell) 1793 We are confined by our biological limitations as we...

scale can be difficult one to get rid of in an closed environment First thing I would try is to place it outdoors next to some bushes for a week or two let mother natures predators have a chance at them. It's amazing how infestations can get cleared up "overnight" like that if that doesn't do...
