Can I feed him banannas tomatoes, grapes, etc.????

Diamc - a bit of a mystery. On Saturday we were at the Hamburg PA reptile show where Thor became part of our family. Before we took him home however Alex touched a miilion critters of al shapes and sizes. We then picked up Thor from the breader for our hour + ride home. Thor was a pleasure...

Here's another question I'm afraid to ask...Thor ben with us since Sat. Yesterday, my son started having some type of skin reaction...benadryl made it go away but back now...Could he be allergic to the Beardie or perhps to some of the Repti-vite, Calcium or Desert Blend (we bought but not...

We in Northern Jersey about about 25 mins West of NYC...in ADK's we in Russia/Morehouse area...SoWest corner of the park. How well do these little fella's travel??? We did get the AcuRite you mentioned Diamc, seems to be right on. W 75 w household bulb (only thing in house) basking spot...

Hi Diamc - and everyone else...I'm getting so smitten I can't believe it with my son's pet!!! Anyway, another question, our crickets are "gutloaded" from our pet shop and we also feeding crickets them their Gel-like calcium "food" - do we still need calcium dust them before feeding little Thor...

Thx Diamc...we are in NJ with a place in the Adirondacks....I see you from Upstate NY, whereabouts? Too that, how do these little guys travel? Can we take him with us like our puppy Lloyd or does Grandma have to come feed him? Our pet shop has a lot of reptile equip. I'll be heading there...

What do you suggest for uva/uvb unit? One I looked at , forget the brand, had two long bulbs, about 24" one was evidently uva and one uvb.

My wife enjoying an "I told you so" chastising...Thor started out as our son's pet but he's taken over the whole family already! He's perked up in his bath right now, alert, looking around, cute as ever....Thank you for your help...I'll be getting that thermometer at Walmart tomorrow as well as...

Going to do it now...tried water drops on his nose, didn't take them. did rub him down with warm water on my fingers along his back and his belly...filling little tub now for him...

Thanks so much! Tried giving him some water drops but he's just hanging out on my chest now, falling asleep...The 150 is his only bulb right now but we'll be getting a complete uvb/uva light source tomorrow...The breeder we got him from at Harrisburg Reptile show Saturday says he's 4 months old...

Thank you thank you! Is the 150w too much for the 50 Gal (36"x18") he's moving to in the next day or so? I knew strips thermos weren't great but grabbed today thinking better than nothing? I love this little guy and want him happy!

Basking side strip thermometers. 150 watt Exo-Terra Intense Basking bulb in a Flukers 8 1/2 inch fixture on a 10 gallon tank. Temp on basking side reads 92 degrees. Again, this is a strip thermometer on the outside of the glass. The other side of the tank reads 85 degrees with a second strip...

Another question. Thor is right now in a 10 gallon tank. The bulb is 150 watt Intense Basking Spot Exo-Terra. We just changed to this bulb. We had 100 watt bulb. With this change now, his mouth is open a lot. I understand they do this to regulate themselves but should it be a constant? In other...

Thank so much for the info i hope i will be chatting you again :blob8:
