Thanks. Got it set to 73 at the moment and she's already a bit more active after 2 warmer nights.

Thanks, this is a lot less functional... has a single temperature that you set rather than a min/max range. So would I want to keep to cool side at its lowest temp or maintain a steady 73 all the time? I have a young hunger stricking girl - would in not be better to maintain the cool end a...

Hi Friends! Just bought a Habistat pulse thermostat to run my CHE on because I'm struggling to keep my temps right in the cold. It's my first winter with reptile. Any tips on the proper way to set this up? Where in the tank do I put the probe? My CHE is in the centre on the viv. I want it to...

Just a note on the Arcadia 12% - I'm using it and I've been advised on this forum that you need a reflector with it to get the best uv output from that distance. i now have mine mounted like yours on the roof with the reflector behind it. This is the only place I found them online in the uk -...

? I can see that conversation going down well with my man.... "you have to shave your beard to make the bearded dragon happy" The poor soul already spent years living with rats he was highly allergic to.

Thanks for the video! We are getting better at it every time and I've managed to get the right hold of her and do it on my own. I think it's less stressful if it's just me and her because I keep her the calmest. She's never been a fan of my husbands black beard! There's little or no...

We've done it twice now and she wriggles like mad at first! I need to get my partner to hold her while I open her mouth. My vet gave me flat wooden sticks to hold her mount open with and yesterday she wriggled away and snapped shut on my finger! Owwwie! Those teeth are sharp af! I'm hope it will...

So we have blood results back and she is dehydrated and is fighting an infection of some kind. We dont know what it is yet but we are putting her on antibiotics so now I have to use the crop needle twice a day. We'll be really good at this in no time but I still find it scary... I'm worried...

Here's our patient enjoy her bath before the vet. She was fantastic and well behaved during her stay at the hospital. I've got the feeding tube and critical care formula along with a demonstration. Her bloods and X-rays have been sent to relative specialist and ill her the results on Friday...

Ive got her a soft small pet carrier bag that I put a hot water bottle (not too hot!) wrapped in a blanket inside. Just got it yesterday as last week all we had was a cardboard box! She was ok in the box, but I think this will be more secure and comfortable. Fingers crossed we figure out whats...

I agree not all vets are out to rob you... but you also get some vets who are sponsored by brands and are very commercial - usually dog/cat vets. I have no problem parting with the money to my current vet, they are a nationally renowned exotic pet hospital. The vet was joking with me how he...

Oh I'm so sorry to hear about Puff, that is very sad. I have heard that reptiles don't take well to anaesthetic and can often pass in recovery. I've had a look at exotic pet insurance and it's a juggle cause the monthly cost is pretty high and you may end up never using it! Had this issue with...

Sadly I have no advice but I'm sending you both strength and love.
