Hey Brandon, As far as i know this was his first seizure. This is the first one I’ve seen. Now since the seizure , he’s been great. He’s holding himself up more, more alert and his personality seems more like himself

Hi all! Just wanted to give you guys an update on Tuukka. We’re still taking it day by day with him. Unfortunately he had a pretty long seizure yesterday - that was terrifying. But he’s been okay since then, he’s been eating his bugs and somewhat eating his salads. We’ve corrected all the...

Tracie- He’s held his appetite this entire time , he’ll eat as many bugs as I’ll give him

I just started dusting again with calcium and vitamin powder. I’m not sure where to get liquid but he seems much better this morning

Hi Tracie, This morning he seemed very alert and eager for a worm. I’ll keep everyone posted on how he’s doing through the week

I can get them for free so I figured might as well see what they show As of now it looks like he is REALLY enjoying his time in the sun. I put one of my large dog crates in a half sunny/half shady area with a towel at the bottom and his hide log that he sometimes basks on. I’m outside with him...

Hi all! Sorry to freak everyone out about the dog crate , I’m talking a large crate with a towel at the bottom, things to hide in and climb on. Not just letting him fry in the sun. Thank you for everyone’s advice , I’ll make the necessary changes and let everyone know how he’s doing. As far as...

Also just noticed the light fixture has a plastic cover over the bulb , i should remove that right ?

Okay, i actually found the bulb on Chewy.com for a great price and 2 day shipping. Tomorrow and Monday I’m going to make sure he gets plenty of time outside in the sun. We live in Maryland and it is HOT and sunny this weekend , so i was planning on putting him outside for 30-45 minutes at a...

I was going to purchase this light on amazon (because of the 2 day shipping) is this ok?? LUCKY HERP 10.0 Fluorescent Desert Terrarium Lamp,T8,15 Watt 18" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078WTTCB3/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_i_ne8mDb4WFFQVY

Hi Tracie! I’d have to look at his exact name, but he is a special morph i think. It was something with het/hypo with blue bars. I’m going to purchase a better bulb, and we also bought a cage that was the same size length wise but shorter and opens in the front instead of having a screen at...

I also just set the light right on top of the mesh, should i mount it inside the cage somehow ?

Hi! I just bought the Zilla Slimline 18” T8 fixture that came with the Desert 50 UVB T8 fluorescent bulb This is all they had at the pet store near me. Do you think i could use the bulb included until something I ordered online came in? Also , what is the best bulb to use for this fixture ...

Thank you SO much. I’m on my way now to the pet store to buy some new lights

I feel so guilty for basically neglecting his needs and listening to just one person. I thought the lights would be completely fine as long as i had two. I’m going out today and buying a new one now I’m really scared for him, it seems like signs are a lot worse today. Is there anything i can...
