Still grieving Lou and feel kinda naked not having a weird little critter around. Decided to adopt this 13 year old female Mexican Red Knee named Isabella. I'm very excited. Any tarantula keepers with advice?

I’ve decided for a final vet appointment on Thursday for Lou. He has been being treated for weird inflammations and open wounds and after xrays and blood results, the only diagnosis I’ve been told is calcium to phosphorus ratios being out of line, with the potential of renal failure. I am 80%...

I’ve posted a few times about Lou, who got mysterious wounds. After multiple months of vet visits the diagnosis was never really made asides him having a high phosphorous and low calcium ratio. Now he has this lump :(, I am unable to go to the vet until two weeks from now but am wondering if...

I’ve had a mistking for a month now and it’s worked great. However it has stopped pumping water, you can hear the mechanisms in the mistking itself working from the pump but I’m not getting any water. I fear it’d because I let it run dry for half a day before noticing the waterline was below the...

I am waiting on an email of Lou’s bloodwork but it came with good and bad news, from what all I could gather with the information given to me over the phone. A lot was talked about, and a lot of spaces ended up blank because let’s face it, I’m an okayish listener and seem to find myself either...

Helllo. I just injected my first superworm with painmeds. It is definitely ballooned up and slowly crawling still. Do y’all know how long this bug is good for? I was instructed to throw it away if Lou doesn’t eat it but I am unsure how long to keep this doped up worm out for him. Once again...

So I sourced and got this to try on Lou’s foot, he’s been on silvadjne but there is a black spot under his heal that won’t go away,have used vet recommended antifungal.. anyway I’m not sure if this is the one that is good for this. Medical grade 400mg/12+ has me worried it may be too potent. Or...

The mistking I ordered for Lou comes in tomorrow. I am going to go ahead and set it up while hoping he heals. 4th vet visit in a month coming on weds with a different vet, who I hope can provide answers. Even if this doesn’t work out I am not done caring for herps and can’t imagine my life...

Lou has been home from the vet for two days. The vet mentioned concern for a sack in stomach via xrays. I took him out to sunbathe for a good 45 minutes and right before taking him inside he pooped this: Way bizarre, anyone have any insight on what this is? He was extremely dehydrated when i...

My ambanja panther chameleon Lou has been at the vet since last Tuesday. I joined this group following his first visit to the vet and discovered how much misinformation I had received in the past... I feel I found this group just at the right time. So much better than what youtube tutorials i...

As I anxiously await Lou’s return from the vet I’ve spent all weekend taking apart his reptibreeze and am making it a better back spaces for him. This includes a deep cleaning. Basically I’ve taken diluted vinegar with water to scrub and rinse the hell out the screen an and floor. And am...

How long is the lifespan of a uvb bulb? I have a reptisun 10.0 long bulb. I’ve heard to change it out every six months but noticed the ends of it are dimming and slightly blackish. I’ve had it three months and am wondering if it’s time for a new one. Thanks! Anxiously awaiting on news from the...

As my chameleon heals he’s eaten one cricket the last two weeks. I have called the vet and am pending a drop off appointment if he has blood from his vent. (He has pooped again and it was a normal color, his urates are white and no trail the last two days) Anyways, I was watching some videos on...

My Lou is in his hospital tub after an extended stay at the vet. He’s on antibiotics via injection every other day, pain medication, and an anti fungal ointment for his foot liaisons. He seems to be doing better but today he had runny white urates and was dragging his vent along the cage with...

Picking up my guy from an extended 3 day/overnight at the vet. Dr. Recommended that I make him a safe space while his feet heal up (liaisons and fungal issues), I am a bit sketched out by all the light in proximity. His thermometer is on the left under uvb and is 88degrees. Using a 100 watt...

Hi there, my panther chameleon is currently at the vet being treated for foot liasons. I am wondering if the cause is the Crepe Myrle branch that he's had for 3 years in his enclosure? I bought the branch rep-safe from DFW Reptarium and wonder if they have a lifespan- as the branches dry out and...

I took my 3.5 year old male panther chameleon to the Vet last weds because he had a foot injury that couldn’t heal. The vet instructed me to give him water therapy 2x a day with a thin layer of silver sulfadiazine. While his wound is looking as the vet said it should, he has been lethargic and...
