I've been thinking about doing this for a while - I have health problems that have been making it hard to keep up with her on a daily basis, and am now looking at possibly having spinal surgery. She's my only herp that requires specific daily care, and I don't want anything to happen to her due...
Jane's been spending more and more time on the ground. Last night she slept there. (Earlier in the week I was moving her back up in the evenings, but I figure she's doing what she wants and am now staying hands off.) I know she can get around the tank fine because she comes up when food is put...
Jane was missing one nail from her front foot when I got her, but now the other nail on the same foot, same side is also missing. It happened sometime in the last week for sure. She is not a screen-crawler, so I'm wondering why this may have happened? I don't think I need to be worried, but...
I get the whole reason behind keeping the females cooler (smaller clutches), but what is the benefit behind keeping the males warmer? In the wild wouldn't they be found at the exact same temperatures? I haven't seen any explanation of why both sexes wouldn't do better at the same lower temp and...
I saw in another topic where chameleons are afraid of snakes.... I hadn't been able to figure out why Jane was always so dark when most of the females I see posted here are such a happy green. She eats without a moment's hesitation and basks in the open all day long, but could she be showing...
I always have to wait 15 minutes or more to see if the calciworms I fished out of the container are actually alive. She will eat anything that goes into the feeder cup, so I always check to make sure they move first. But they are so inactive! There's always three or four that don't move, so I...
I am so past mad right now! It took me two months to get that many going. I had finally reached a number where I was going to stop pupating for a while.
I gave them one chunk of orange last night, peeled. It was the same orange I gave to the crickets, mealworms, and my millipedes. Everything...
Before I seriously start considering it I wanted to run it past the people here. The shelving unit is 18 x 48 and 72 high. The entire room is heated and there is a floor to ceiling gradient of around 73-85. This is for a female veiled.
What I want to do is chloroplast the sides and part of...
Ugh. I forgot this is why I pulled the potted plants out of my geckos's enclosure months ago!
The crickets have all tunneled into the schfllera's pot and while I can't see them I can hear at least a dozen in there, singing away. Now I'm not sure how many my veiled is getting to eat! A good...
Could REALLY use some help with this! Math and computing things and planning in general has been hard since a double concussion this summer, and on top of that I'm still not sure how much my new veiled should be eating...
I've got a rescued adult female veiled with mild MBD who is currently at...
I have trouble saying no to an animal in need. We rescued two leopard geckos about two months ago from a person on Facebook who was selling off their collection of animals. Since then, they've doubled in weight, if that tells you anything about the state they were in when we got them.
This...
