Puffy eyes

[Bro Bott]

her feet are shedding

She's looking much healthier, her ribs aren't showing as much.

Have you noticed if one eye is healing more than the other?

 

[Bro Bott]

He’s I feel one is less puffy

She’s so cute! I love her side eye at you.

 

[Bro Bott]

I love her. I kinda think her nose looks I’m some white is coming out but it could be shed. I learned that if I go slow I can easily take her in and out of her enclosure without her being extremely mad. If I go super fast she gets scared

 

[GrannyK]

We adore them just as much as they hate us they do begin to trust us and it sounds like she definitely trusts you. That’s awesome. As for the white out her nose, could be snalt, could be shed but I am not sure. That area is very close to her eyes and since she’s been having eye issues it is hard for me to tell. I’m not super experienced especially with veilds.

Well she has her second vet appointment tomorrow

Great!! We got a fecal but haven’t got anything back yet. The vet said she looks good still needs to gradually gain weight. Her eyes are great and almost normal. No more drops. We are going to call them if anything bad happened or changes

 

[Bro Bott]

She’s preparing to shed!!

 

[Bro Bott]

Well that was quick. Not very good pictures but she pretty much looks like a disintegrating white lizard

 

[Bro Bott]

I think one of the BSFL escaped and fell in a plant and then turned into flies bc there is a fly in ere

 

[MissSkittles]

She’ll find it. I pretty much let most of my bsfl pupate into fun flying treats to keep my chams stimulated.

 

[Bro Bott]

Smart

Status update on Marge. I’m not feeding her as much meal worms because I feel she is getting hooked but I still I’m giving her some mixed with Dubai roaches because she is loosing weight. Her eyes look a whole lot better and she is shedding!

Meal worms are not good staple feeders at all. If you look at the graphic below, it explains that they are a poor source of nutrition. I think I can count on 2 fingers the number of times I’ve given my chameleons and bearded dragons meal worms in the past 6-7 years. You would do better with something like crickets, bsfl or silkworms. For a fatty treat, you can give a wax worm or two a couple of times a week. Making sure that you keep your feeder insects well fed will ensure that the insect has optimal nutrition and isn’t just a half starved shell. It’s difficult to find decent variety and size options in most pet stores, but there are so many excellent on line sources to order just what you want and need. If I weren’t on the opposite side of the country (which does effect shipping times) I would be buying my feeders from https://www.rainbowmealworms.net/ There are many reputable insect vendors throughout the country, if you want to order from one close to you.

Hey guys um…there are more BSF in Marge’s enclosure flying around but she isn’t eating them :/ now I can’t open her enclosure without them escaping. Do they bite or sting. Just wondering for when they escape when I am opening it. Also is there a way to kill the BSF breeding in there? And will they be able to keep doing it? I think only 1-2 escaped. Thanks

 

[MissSkittles]

How many are there? They are fairly easy to catch. It just takes slow movements and patience. They don’t bite or sting. I’m not so sure if you need to worry about them breeding unless you’ve got a lot of them. If left alone, they will die within just a few days without intervention.

Ok good. I only see one but one did escape last night and I had to…smash him. But yea I’ll just wait it out. Thanks

Ok update. She is not eating a sustainable amount of Dubia roaches so I’m going to order some silk worms tomorrow to feed her. She has gotten down to 39 grams
