He still has a pretty good appetite but to be honest he doesn't seem to be growing much at all in the month we have had him. He's happy with about 5 crickets for breakfast. A super worm for snack mix of chopped up veggies for lunch like yellow squash bell pepper parsley carrots and crickets...

I haven't heard from @Drache613 yet. I'm getting a little more worried. Here's updated pictures. The one that's a closer up of his legs looks like there is cracking behind the "knee" kinda like it's getting ready to shed.

@Drache613 how do I get a swab sample to test for yellow fungus

Should I turn it off and see if they heal?

Can you post the link directly to order the test?

Sorry I just had surgery so been kinda out of it. No heat rock. Does have a heat pad underneath the tank and his basking rock does get a little warm on top. Uvb is a reptisun 10 t8 so it's mounted to the top of the tank underneath the screen. Tank is only 20 gal. Will be getting a bigger one soon.

sorry @Drache613 im a little lost on how to order the tests. i do see the links you provided but dont seem to see anything to order a test for yellow fungus

yep i had the talk with her about why we only feed 1 at a time

Yeah it was so so quick. It was not there then it was! My daughter put to many crickets in his cage and then the think with his eye started right after so I assumed he got bit in the eye or something and I was cleaning his eye with saline eye wash and seen his belly! His appetite seems good...

I am suspecting that motchi has yellow fungus...I was giving him a bath and looked at his belly and seen some light yellow spots and they were definitely not there yesterday. I was looking on here and seen something about yellow fungus and that @Drache613 may test it for people for a lower price...

What's your thoughts on an MVB bulb? Does it actually work for all the needs such as uvb and a heat lamp while only needing one bulb? For a 20 gal tank

Also is that fixture able to be hung inside since its a t8 so its not strong enough with the mesh lid?

i have both near me but magically they suck at having stuff stocked lol

yeah its an 18" since its for a smaller tank. Also is that fixture able to be hung inside since its a t8 so its not strong enough with the mesh lid?
