This is a bullfrog tadpole someone gave my son... no idea age or whatever. He has tiny buds of hind legs. He's moving a lot less now, not eating and his tail has parts on it that look like they're covered in slime or maybe peeling off sort of? Is this guy sick with something?

It's hard to know if he'd even let me do that... I guess I should try. I should try to get him in the bath everyday, too. He seems like he's doing pretty good now, though.

How do you give oral fluids?

I think the store is only stocking those 95W household bulbs because we're a very "eco" town.. or so everyone claims to be! It's a really small town so the bigger grocery will have it for sure. I will say that looking at the two pictures, Papi's eyes DO look sunken and droopy in that newer...

Here's Paps six months ago: http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad30/gretelmom/P1010802.jpg

Is this how I do it? Papi on Friday 2/26 http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad30/gretelmom/IMG_1326.jpg

Well as for his appetite... Today he ate his entire salad for the first time in literally two months. He's been tapering off on the salads. He also glass danced for the first time in the same time. He still didn't want worms or crix, so I finally let the crix free in the front yard for the...

Okay just got my tempgun from the mailman... I think we have the problem! The basking spot is only 95 degrees and the cool part is only 72! I still don't see why that would make him hide under his rock, but I think it's probably because he was brumating? SO... I'll get a 100 Watt bulb if 95...

Okay today I got my temp gun so I'll take some accurate temps with the gun and post. I was using a little probe thermo from Petsmart, 85 or so on cold side, 100 or so on hot spot so I got a higher watt bulb, from a 75 (which was fine before) to 95 watt ( weird wattage, I know, I guess it's an...

Anyone have a pic of a lizard with sunken eyes? Papi really looks like he's depressed... I think his temps are fine but I've been using a cheap probe and I just ordered a real Temp Gun to see if that's the problem. I thnk he's trying ot brumate, he likes to stay under his bridge. Up until...

He definitely didn't have a bath today... He had one on Friday, was going to give him one tonight, but he's got the snot so I thought maybe not. He's about 14-15 months old. He's got a super short tail, he's always been a stub tail, so measurements nose to tail tip are always off. Once I did...

So I assume this is an upper respiratory infection... Today out of nowhere Papi had a little water near his nostrils. When I picked him up, a huge amount of fluid dripped from his nose holes! I haven't seen any major changes in his behavior except he was really slowing down. We've had bad...

How would I tell if Papi has mites? And could those mites be biting my son?? He's got bites just like chiggers, which are mites...

I'm not sure papi would eat crix if he had to chase them, he's totally spoiled. oh well.

So I turned off Papi's bad UVB a month or so ago, haven't had the financial opportunity to buy the new lightbulb and fixture yet. I heard it's okay he goes a while with no UVB and he has both perked up and grown amazingly fast since going off the light. He does spend 30 -60 mins outside every...
