This is Perseus's first brumation he's 1 year and 11 months old. I was wondering what special precautions should I take? Should his temperatures Stay the same? Should I still offer a basking spot? should I still bathe him? He's outgrown his hide and the local Petsmart doesn't have one he can...

I'm glad to hear that Steve is doing better, Perseus isn't eating yet so I'm crossing my fingers he will start to eat on his own. Tonja, thank you for your insight I will definitely keep everyone updated. Also does anyone know if Perseus being 861 grams considered overweight? Last time I...

Wow it's strange that this exact same thing it happening to two other owners. The vet told me he is in perfect health and he doesn't have mites he was checked over by the vet and vet tech they assured me they did not find any mites on him or any bites, they told me his scales are in very good...

Thanks for the reply and you are correct when he runs around his cage like that he has a bowel movement, but it has been very very tiny bowel movements, almost non existant. Hes been having them almost everyday with the exception of today. In his bath today I am almost certain what I found was a...

This is the 3rd week Perseus has refused food, during first week he would eat one superworm and maybe a couple bites of turnip green but then the 2nd and 3rd week he's stopped eating all together. He turned 1 yr on January first and is 21in long, & doesn't seem to be losing weight. He glass...

I use a bed I found in Petsmart under the small animal section. Heres a link http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=10845113&f=PAD%2FpsNotAvailInUS%2FNo

Thanks!

Lol I know, he just keeps growing.

Just an update for Perseus, He's 7 months now and 18 1/2in!

I will be ordering an 48x30x24 cage from animal plastics. Should I stick with the height of 24 or would 18 be more accurate for UVB bulb distance and accurate basking spot temps?

Thank you for checking in. He's doing awesome. He went to the vet Sunday for a check up and all is well! His next scheduled appointment is in February just for a standard check up.

Perseus is currently 18in and 6 months old. I wanted him to get longer than 16in to be on the safe side before introducing supers. Are supers ok to feed as a stable? If so does the 10-15 min rule count? If not then how many should be fed in one setting?

I'm actually wondering the same thing because lately Perseus will close his eyes off and on about 1-2 hours before his normal lights out. Should I turn the lights off then? Or keep them on? He's on a timer his lights come on at 9am and go off at 10pm. Usually he's up before lights come on and...

That's good to know. His appetite is very good, it never changed. He's always been a big eater. He ate 100 adult crickets today

Thank you. Things are a lot better. No more smelly poops but are his poops supposed to have a lot of liquid in them?
