Well, I do have two cats so maybe he did have a cat hair floating around in there with him. LOL He's such a funny little weirdo! :D

I was giving Rexasaurus a warm soak earlier and he started drinking water, which isn't too rare for him. However, this time after he was done drinking he kept opening his mouth and abruptly twisting his tongue from side to side (wish i could have gotten video). He was doing that for about a...

They didn't say what level he was, but I usually give fecal samples twice a year and the last time they said everything was good, that was in the winter. I'm assuming it's on the higher side but I think I'll ask them the next time. I didn't know there were levels like that. :) I haven't noticed...

Rexasaurus had an infection of some sort (vet didn't say respiratory though) back in January and he was coughing a lot so he was put on Orbax for 21 days. It seemed to clear up and he was much better after a few weeks. Now, the other day I noticed another bad coughing spell out of the blue so I...

Thanks! I do have some powdered probiotcs with calcium that I got last year when he had the pinworms but maybe I'll try the yogurt since that powder may be too old. I actually went out last night right after the vet and bought a 60w CHE to keep him nice and toasty at night to help fight this...

Hi Everyone! So just got back from my vet. Took my 2 year old in because he was showing signs of an upper respiatory infection and sure enough after he checked the swab of his mouth fluid, the doctor says he does have an infection. He's put him on 2.0 ml of Orbax for 21 days. Does anyone else...

Yes he does seem to be basking more now. :) I still haven't picked up probe thermometer...money is pretty tight lately and when I was at Petsmart they seemed to be a little more pricey so I still need to get to Walmart. I might have to wait till I get paid again after having bought everything I...

Good news! Rex has been gobbling up his hornworms and wax worms! I went and got 5 hornworms from my reptile shop just to see if he would eat them (I didn't want to buy a whole cup online if he wasn't going to) and he was very excited! I immediately ordered a cup online from...

Thanks so much for sharing! It's always good to know you're not alone when it comes to our babies doing strange things that worry us. I haven't yet gotten the thermometer, but I did replace my 5.0 UVB with a 10.0 and I also replaced my 75w basking bulb with a 50w. We rearranged some things in...

Thank you so much for your kind words and advice!!! :D I'll be getting that thermometer as soon as I can! He used to love hornworms but I haven't tried that in a while so I'll go pick some up at the local reptile store near me that carries them sometimes. :) He wasn't too excited about...

This is his setup right now (I tried giving him a little more of a "hide" with the washcloth...he seemed to like it under there. It also blocks the light at night from us lol!) I think I'm definitely going to invest in a better thermometer...20 degrees difference is a lot! I've heard a lot of...

I'm using one of those zoomed thermostats with the humidity gage on it too. It's about 105-110 under basking and about 80-85 on the cooler side. Yep, I have the reptisun terrarium hood with a 5.0 high output UVB tube bulb. I was talking to some other people about this earlier today and they...

Hi all, I posted in the health section a month or so ago about my 1 year old boy not eating much and being lazy. Well, it's still going on. He eats maybe 1 or 2 superworms every other day and I haven't seen him eat his greens for well over a month. Once in a while, he'll take a blueberry out of...

Looks like mine is called Roman chamomile but luckily I just came across this... "Roman Chamomile is also referred to as ‘Noble’, English’, ‘Common’, or True Chamomile." :D But when you saw that was it just for the flowers or the actual plant? Or did it even specify? :?

Yeah I too would fork it out...I would have to dip into the savings right now for that! :shock:
