Cairo passed overnight. I tried :cry:

Thanks for the support, Brandon. I called the "pet guru" that my other vet recommended today, but he was not in the office today and I didn't want to just do nothing, so I left work and took Cairo to another exotic reptile vet. She said she is definitely sick, and gave me some antibiotics to...

I think the lights are fine now, and it was more my set up back in January that may have had issues. Still thinking it was the SolarGlow. Maybe as she was growing in size and I started taking decorations out of the tank to accommodate her new size, possibly the distance between the SolarGlo and...

yeah, she's able to sit directly under it. Thanks Karrie. So I should replace the SolarGlo with just a normal heat lamp? I've never used one of those before... any brands I should look for, or avoid? If I want to keep it where I currently have my SolarGlo (about 17" from bottom of tank), do...

Again, this is a T8, 6-8" from basking spot. I'd like to get the T5 so I can move it higher up a little higher. Updated screenshot below. It's a little hard to tell, but the ReptiSun is flush against the back wall, the SolarGlo is on the top, in the middle.

She hasn't eaten on her own since like March. I've been feeding her Oxbow since my previous vet visit. If I remember correctly, she weighed exactly 1 pound. There was no bloodwork done. He was honest about saying their office didn't have everything they need for performing those types of...

I scheduled a vet visit to get a fecal exam done yesterday. I wasn't able to get a fecal exam done, since I wasn't able to get a sample in time for my appointment, but I still took her back in for a follow up. I got an x-ray done ($200), and the vet said all of her bones looked perfectly...

Ok. I'll do that, thanks.

I have not, but her weight looks about the same to me. I think getting her tested is the next step though. How much does that usually run, and what is the process like?

Well... for the last 2 days, I get home from an 8-hour work day and Cairo is still sleeping in the corner like she was when I left in the morning. I placed her on the basking spot and she only stayed for 3-minutes before retreating to the corner again :( After reading so many people on the...

I'm gonna let the professionals reply, but I noticed you said you were in AZ. Not sure what city you're in, but I recently took my Beardie to a vet in Scottsdale, and talked to a vet for 30 minutes or so, and they only charged me $1 (first visit). If this is in your area, just passing along...

I placed Cairo in her new basking spot today and she stayed there for most of the afternoon, about 8" away from the ReptiSun. Sometimes sleeping, sometimes perked up and actually venting, which is good because I haven't seen her do that in awhile. Hoping this is a good sign of things to come...

Ahhhh the T5 probably would be better for my situation, that's a good idea. Another $100 down the toilet, sigh... Right now I have the T8 suspended about half way down into the tank. Looks horrible, but it should work until I can grab a T5 and some other objects to increase elevation in the...

I don't mind the questions, I appreciate the help. I just rearranged some stuff, gave her a bath and a little Oxbow, and put her under the basking light. It's been about 30-minutes and she's still sitting there, so I'm gonna leave her a lone for a bit. I put her on one of the magnetic...

Brandon, I haven't noticed any weight loss. She looks nice to me. The people at the vet called her a "Beauty Queen" :) I placed her on my patio the last couple weekends. She spent about an hour out there each time. She stood in the exact same spot, perked up, but didn't move or explore...
