I would probably go with the vet's advice ultimately since I'm not one (and assuming this is a reptile vet and not a regular vet that just takes reptiles), but with low numbers I would probably hesitate and question just like you are doing. I think it would also depend on how aggressive they...

Entamoeba isn't usually that serious. It is typically what they call a "commensal" parasite, meaning it derives benefit from the host while the host has no positive or negative consequences. When their numbers get out of control, they can cause problems like diarrhea, loss of appetite...

Just wanted to share some before and after photos of my most recent upgrades for my boy. Still a work in progress, but I'm happy with it so far, and he seems to be as well. Hasn't dug in it yet, but I think he's still figuring it out. He's been on solid substrate his whole life. Substrate is...

He spent most of the day in the cave with his head resting in the same spot. He came out after the lights turned off and positioned himself this way to sleep. They are such goofballs!

And of course the leggies! He can be a bit of a grump in the mornings.

Thankfully my guy is pretty regimented with his poop schedule. Always in the morning before I let him out. Sometimes I think he does it just so I will let him out since I have to open the door to clean it up lol 😆

Thanks I think so! And I agree. I admit I was one of those people before I got him. They really do each have their own personality. Bedtime is really the only time he will tolerate cuddling for any more than a couple minutes, but it just makes it that much more special when he does something...

So I was laying down with my guy on my chest near bedtime, just chilling. I guess he decided my face was more comfortable.

Hornworms usually come with food in the cup. You will want to store the cup upside down with the food on top. Poop falls onto the lid away from the food, and you can empty it out about every day or every other day. If the ones you get don't have food or they eat it too fast, you can look for...

Amazon. I got the large size, but it's not available for that brand currently. Plenty of good options in that category though

We are visiting my sister in Texas right now after moving from California to Colorado a month ago. I am amazed at how well he has done with all the traveling. He really seems to actually enjoy riding in his carrier in the car. When I put him in to come down here, his beard got dark until he saw...

They have both acrodont and pleurodont dentition. The pleurodont teeth can regrow, the acrodont cannot.

They can regrow some of their teeth but not all. Makes them an interesting subject to study dental evolution because they have both monophyodont (don't regrow) and polyphyodont (continuously regrow). Humans and many mammals have diphyodont teeth, meaning we have two sets of teeth, milk teeth and...

I have heard of people making the 26W version of those work with smaller tanks, but they still needed a different fixture than simple dome, more like a small tube style hood where the bulb goes in sideways and acts like a mini tube. If there is absolutely no way to put a tube fixture in, my best...

I think corners make them feel safe. Two sides they are protected from. Also cuts off escape routes, but if they are already scared with no immediate threat and they just want to hunker down, being a little more confined could be comforting.

Also, if your heat lamp is a light, it needs to be off at night too. If it is a ceramic heat emitter or deep heat projector, it only needs to stay on at night if temps are going below 65F. Dragons like cool and dark to be able to sleep properly. The surface temp of your basking spot during the...

What kind of UVB are you using? I'm guessing they are the screw in coil type. If so, they are likely not giving sufficient levels of UVB, especially if they are on top of a screen. This can cause a lack of appetite, and that is honestly the least concerning thing that can happen from inadequate...
