well your right not to trust a pet store. I had a guy at a pet store tell me that leopard geckos need a uvb light. which didn't sound to off the wall, so I researched it online and came up with all kinds of misinfo. Im pretty sure they don't require uvb as they are nocturnal and any bright...

I just wanted to give you guys a little update on my veiled. He's doing much better now, thanks to all of you who helped me through the forum. he's regained a lot of his vigor. though he will always have bone deformities :( I believe he will live a long life. the main concern for him now is his...

he's beautiful! :)

Its hard to be sure whats safe or not. theres a lot of sites on the internet that contradicts each other. I would like to find a trustworthy plant list for veiled chams.

thanx everyone. the knowledge base from this forum has been great. I bought the fluker's because its the only thing available locally (50 mile radius), but Im just going to have to get everything online from here on out. It will be cheaper online anyway. last week I bought a zoo-med 24" 5.0...

Does anyone have an opinion on Fluker's high calcium cricket food? I make my own gutload- kale, fresh spinach, romaine, acorn squash, carrot, apple, green beans,mango, papaya, and various melons. I started mixing in fluker's, and now im second guessing that. because I haven't seen any senior...

You may not want to spend the money, but it is totally worth it to buy a zoomed hygrotherm. it monitors and controls heat and humidity with a night time setting, that drops temp. I run a fog humidifier and a basking lamp off of mine. and I use a timer for my uvb lighting. simple, easy...

thanks poshpenny you're awesome:)

well thanks again for all the help. I wish I was better prepared and more knowledgeable before I began. I think my little guy is going to make it. We go see the vet Saturday. Im a little nervous about the drive though. its about 2.5 hrs away and its not very warm here, also im not sure how much...

thanks for the replies. the terrarium is ventilated, the rear panel is half screen. the light is internal. After doing some research on mbd, and husbandry, I think the problem is a lack of phosphorus (not calcium). I use Zoo Med repti calcium, which has no phosphorus. also I realized I was...

humidity 75-85%. temp 75-83. sub, coconut and spag. lighting 75w fluker, cool mist fog humidifier.

My male veiled is about 6-8 mths. He has optimum habitat conditions ( regulated by hygrotherm) in a 6 ft tall terrarium. A bout 9 days ago I noticed his lower jaw looked swollen and flared out as if broken or dislocated. And no discoloration or sores visable. I began looking for a vet, but I...
