Hey everyone. I am having some issues with my yard staying healthy. I have an insect problem that is killing all of my grass but I am hesitant to use anything because I don't want to hurt my torts. A local store here carries a line of natural fertilizers that I know would be fine but the grub...
Ya I thought about MBD but he does not show any other signs. He tries to be active, he eats, he fought me when I would give him the baytril. I did notice that his back claws were really long so I trimmed them. I guess if it was uncomfortable then he might have let his legs atrophy over the...
Hey everyone. So my male golden greek was having respiratory problems a couple of weeks ago so I quickly got him to my vet. They nebulized him and gave me baytril to administer orally. He quickly got over that problem and even started eating again today but for the last few days he has not been...
The one on top is definitely a female. The plastron would be curved in if it was a male. Also, the tails are a good indicator of sex and both of those animals have very small tails which would reinforce that they are both females. It is just a dominance thing and with that much of a size...
And THAT is why I want to move to Arizona! Those are awesome monitor enclosures, it is good to see somebody doing it right for once. Where are you at exactly?
Oh I wasn't thinking just a small satellite dish. I have one of those sitting around. I was thinking those 5 or 6 footers that are really old. The sled is something that I thought about as well but it is hard to find one during the summer. I like the concrete idea, I might have to try that.
I have seen people use something like a big bird bath or piece of a fountain buried flush into the ground too. I have been trying to figure something out as well that looks nice and is functional and easy to clean. I even thought about an old satellite dish if I could find one, but so far I have...
I have thought about that, but I know what upper respiratory looks and sounds like and I don't think it is that.
I have only seen two bm's since I have had him and my vet said he had one while he has been with her. Ya it is strange indeed. I have had snakes go off food for significant amounts...
They were really small but looked normal consistency wise. No x-rays done. What could that show? No I haven't tried any beneficial bacteria. Where do I get that?
All of that actually. He just does not show any interest. One other thing I forgot to mention that he does. He will open and close his mouth every once in a while as if he were chewing, even though I know he is not. It is like he thinks something is in his mouth, but I have looked pretty closely...
I haven't actually had him for that long. He was a rescue that I took in from a guy who told me that he hadn't been eating, which is why I took him. I do not know much about his care previous to when I got him. I do know that he was kept on about a 1/2 acre with two other sulcatas and during the...
So my big male has not been eating for quite a while, several months at least, so I took him to my vet to see if she could figure out what may be wrong. He had also started to lose some of the spurs on his front legs, exposing bone. She kept him for a week and just emailed me telling me that he...
They do as long as they have good full spectrum lighting. If an area is to dark or doesn't have good quality lights it will just look like a dark blob to them. Reptiles see a much wider range of the spectrum than we do, which is why we need to provide good UVB-A lighting. Like the Reptisun 2.0...
He will spend much of his time in the back yard as long as it is warm enough. It is completely planted with grass and has some random weeds that grow in it. He will also get grass hay. The reason I have not seen his poop is because I also have three dogs and I haven't taken the time to look for...
Well I need to defend him a little bit and say that he was getting rid of all three that he had. He had them posted on CL a couple months ago and I called him to ask about them. He had one sold already and was attempting to sell the other two. I told him that I was not interested in purchasing...
The weather is all over the place here. We have had some days where it would be plenty warm and sunny for him to be outside, but I couldn't tell you if the previous owner had them out or not. He said that they were kept in a heated, insulated room at night and during the winter. I soaked him...
He probably weighs 50 pounds or so, fairly decent size. He has some pyramiding but other than that he seems to have been taken care of pretty well. The guy had another one about the same size that had one of the most perfect shells I have ever seen and was really active so he seemed to know what...
Hey everyone,
I just today took in a sulcatta to my rescue. The gentleman that I got him from said that he had had him for ten years and that just this spring he has started acting weird. He is just very lethargic and not eating much. I see no signs of respiratory infections so my thought is...
