Following because I am going through almost the exact same thing myself for a similar aged female. Vet appointment early next week to see what is going on. Ryan

From what I have seen in looking for enclosures is that for terrariums in larger sizes they are usually wooden or PVC. I think PVC were more expensive than wooden enclosures. What I ordered was a 120 gal which is 48x24x24. At that size glass becomes heavy and cumbersome and pretty expensive. Not...

For sure! With the background I’m not sure I just have a towel wrapped around my current tank and the upgrade I ordered is pvc so it only has glass on the front. From what I can remember the thrive UVB even the tube bulbs aren’t that great. You should reach out to...

Hey there! Im pretty new myself but have gotten a ton of helpful information on here. Im sure you will get more knowledgeable ppl here to help out but I guess I can give my two cents. You are definitely wanting to get a bigger tank and preferably one with front opening doors. The minimum size...

Hey there everyone! I was just curious if anyone has any experience with these enclosures? They are a new product for this company and are reasonably priced at about $250. It is a 4x2x2 pvc enclosure. Thanks! Ryan

I actually used my brain and looked inside of infectious diseases forum and found the info I was looking for. Sorry to put up unnecessary posts! -Ryan

Hey all, well my little one was diagnosed with coccidia today and we started treatment. I have been making sure she is hydrated and all that good stuff but what are some tips for making sure this treatment works for her? Will zoo med wipe out be sufficient for cleaning or will I need to find...

I would say start adjusting the light schedule so she is up for an few hours before you would have to leave for work. Feed her before you leave and take care of everything else once you get home from work. Mine goes regularly every morning around 8:30 so I’m able to clean up her poop before I...

If you have a small critter carrier just put them in there with some carrot and greens. If you can manage add some cardboard egg carton pieces and stash them away. They will live and a good feeder. Though not crazy fast they can move a bit but they are not good at climbing and don’t fly. Good...

Hey there, it seems your basking temps are to high. They should be between 100-110. What type of UVB light are you using, a coil or tube? I would start by getting those temps down a bit and move out from there if that doesn’t help. -Ryan

Thank you and if that’s her age she is much younger than I originally guessed. Looks like I should have started that dubia colony I was thinking about cause she can eat and if that goes on for another 6-8 months that’s a lot of bugs! Lol -Ryan

Here is a few pics from this morning after breakfast! Greens are a rotation of collards, mustard, turnip, dandelion greens and kale. Not all at once but rotate as I get things. She gets veggies every few days bell peppers, and carrots mostly. She enjoys blueberry but only occasionally. -Ryan

Hey there I am pretty new here but I know that you are going to be asked a number of different questions by a few of the more knowledgeable ppl on here. Such as types of lighting for UVB ,coil or tube, if tube is it a T8 or T5 the size of the fixture and if it has a reflector as well as the...

Thank you and yes I was going to drop a sample at the vet. She is very regular so has a movement every morning around the same time. I’ll get a good pic of her tomorrow to see if an age can be determined. -Ryan

I’m pretty new but I do know a T8 needs to be pretty close even if it’s not placed across a screen. If it is across the screen he may not be getting much UVB. Just an FYI someone more knowledgeable is going to ask what that distance is in inches. I think its around 8” for the T8. You will also...

Hey everyone! So I have a few questions to ask and a maybe issue with my little one! So a few things to go over first. We have had her 1 1/2 months now. She is in a 40 gal breeder as of now but her upgrade has been ordered and will be here in about 3 months. It’s going to be a 4x2x2. She has...
