I am very sad to say, our little Georgie died on Saturday, we had him a vet appointment this morning, but he didn't make it. It is strange, he was very active the night before, but was gone when I went to put his eye drops in that morning. He never did start eating much. I think he was sick when...

We named ours Georgie, if it's a boy, george, a girl georgiana

I try to keep it moist in there most of the time, and buy closed chamber do you mean a hide? If so I do have that as well, I keep it on the...

Ok, will try to answer all of this, and will read those pages afterwards. I do not have the ceramic heater to allow for darkness, the reptile store I went to did not mention it, so for now it is the 100 w heat lamp, and the uvb is zoomed 10.0, also I will buy, plant, etc whatever I need to feed...

Our new sulcata is not eating has been for days, she'll is fine, and he/she is alone, so No bullying, 100 watt heat lamp, and uv lamp, 80 on the cool side. I tried the hard pellet food, which I was told they was eating, he wouldn't touch it, cut up small amounts of romaine, but Choy, and carrots...
