Yeah, at this point I’m chalking it up to being I’ll. My supplements are on point, so I really don’t think that’s it. The vet agreed with that as well. He still has it a little bit, but it seems to be going down. We’ll see! Thank you for your input💚

I was concerned about the liver issues as well because I also heard it could be related to that. I asked my vet to do a full blood work up (because he wasn’t going to). He agreed, but then he said he couldn’t get a good sample and didn’t want to stress him out more. I’m not sure how I feel about...

Thank you! Yeah, it’s been a struggle in my house the last few months. It’s dry because of the AC, but not getting below 70 at night. I’m only misting very briefly a few times throughout the night. It’s only hovering around 50% right now, but I can afford to do more with the temps. Fingers...

Thank you, that’s really reassuring. He’s not doing too bad with them, and after this morning’s shot we actually just sat outside for awhile. I know it’s necessary I’m just feeling bad about it. Honestly I’m probably more stressed than him. I have all the humidity and temps listed in the...

I should specify, I’m talking about the edema on his chest/neck. I’m not sure if you were noticing it somewhere else.

Oh my! I don’t know how I missed your comment!🤦‍♀️ Yes, that was the day before I initially took him to the vet. The edema is why I took him in the first place, but I was sent home with basically no diagnostic testing and told he seemed fine. I brought him back two weeks later because he...

Am I doing damage to his general well being and shortening his life span by taking him out almost everyday and giving him injections? He needs the meds, I know that, but stress shortening his life span has always been one of my biggest fears. He is very comfortable with me and it’s going to...

I’ve been following your little guy’s story too and I’m hoping a wishing for him to recover!!!! He’s lucky to have you doing all you can to help him!! Good luck to you and him! 💚💚💚

Just curious. Glad you haven’t had to deal with many. I feel so badly for the little guy:(

Oh! And his color. It’s like he has his pajamas on 24/7. Even during outside time when he usually would get a little darker and more dull. In your experience, do you find it more common to diagnose RI’s with a culture? Is it common to see it on an X-ray?

Yeah, and I think that’s why when I took him to the vet 2 weeks earlier he didn’t really jump to anything. All I had was behavior changes. going on the bottom, being a bit lethargic, not trying to get away when picked up. He “looked” healthy so besides the fecal, he didn’t see the point in...

I will get him outside today…if he doesn’t hate me too much for stabbing him with a needle.

Thank you so much for the info! No, he wasn’t doing that at all. My only original signs of illness were him hanging at the bottom. The night before the vet I just happened to hear him making a sighing/hissing sound in his sleep. It was like every 10-20 minutes.

I definitely will. Hoping he gets better soon!

Thank you

That makes sense. 85 is what I shoot for. And no mist in the morning?

Do you mind sharing what brand you’re using if you can? Since they’re illegal now in the US, all the ones I usually get say, “not available for your area”.

This makes perfect perfect sense! Thank you! Interesting to see the actual numbers. Makes me wonder why some groups are adamant about 100% at night. Florida is humid as heck, and I believe they’re considered invasive there. Do you have a male? If so, what do you keep your basking at? And how...

Thank you for responding! Neither has been recommended, I just assumed mine needed to be decreased due to my night time temps not dropping low enough. High heat, high humidity I think is what causes respiratory infections. Yes, the plants definitely add, but that was on purpose. I actually...
