*Not an update* ...but I'm getting anxious waiting for this phone call so on a lighter note, here's my beautiful boy Romeo soaking up some rays in the nice 80 degree weather we had today! Almost done his first full-body shed since I rescued him in August! Only in areas before (just the head...

Update: took her to the Northstar Vets emergency center in Robbinsville, NJ. They are keeping her overnight (for now, possibly more) to get i.v. fluids in her b/c she was still dehydrated even with daily baths. They took a blood sample & the reptile specialist there will be doing an ultrasound...

Oh, forgot to mention my vet brought up the possibility of egg yolk peritontis... I don't know a whole lot about it, google searches come up with mostly info about chickens, & most of the accounts of this (or the possibility of it) on here vary greatly as far as symptoms & timelines. Any ideas...

Yes I will let you know how everything goes tomorrow & gladly provide the blood test results. I installed the tube lights with the reptisun 10.0 bulbs (got one for both my top 2 tanks that previously had the compact's & using the single dome fixtures from my male for each of their basking bulbs...

Update: my mom took her to the vet for me while I was at work today, they did an xray & there is no evidence of bone degeneration to support an MBD diagnosis, they also did not see or feel any signs of being egg bound, but they do not perform ultrasounds or bloodwork there so I am taking her to...

My youngest in the bottom tank that I built into a piece of furniture has the tube fixture with a reptisun 10.0 t5. I'd like to get tubes for both of the other tanks but just didn't see it as a necessity because they've all been in perfect health up to now. I'm going to get them tomorrow...

I've been trying to think of ways to put a tube fixture in her tank, I have a hinged lid so maybe I can wire it into 1 side? I just don't know if it'll be secure enough but I will try it. I never considered that her uv might be inadequate b/c she's never shown any symptoms like this before &...

Hi, I am having a similar issue after my Baby's 1st time laying, she got her appetite back immediately after but now it's dwindled down to nothing. Taking her to the vet as soon as she can take me, hopefully either tomorrow or Saturday. Have you had any progress?

Here's May 1st, her lay day: Here's today:
