    Dead or Something Else?

    Well he started having yellow liquid drain out of his open mouth and nothing responds (eyes, legs, mouth) He started getting stiff about an hour ago so I removed him and preparing a coffin and to have him buried on my parent's property since I live in town in an apartment. The nearest vet that...

    Dead or Something Else?

    I am going to leave him a bit offset from the basking light for an awhile, I am assuming he is passed or dying. I can hope it can ride it out if he is still alive, he has been a wonderful companion this past year and half, I tend to pace and talk out loud to him in front of his enclosure or have...

    Dead or Something Else?

    He is still not responding, I tried picking him up and listening for breathing, heart, or sounds but nothing at all. I think he has passed. It is odd, -_- there is a chance a cricket snuck into his terrarium from the cord port or a water bug...has happened before and the landlord sprays the...

    Dead or Something Else?

    Ouros this morning seemed alright but I found him laying on his side next to his food dish a few hours later. He is black-bearded and opened his jaw to snap at me when I moved him under his basking light but has since been unresponsive to anything. Yesterday a new basking light (30 days old)...

    Mentally Retarded or Insane?

    So, I have taken to letting him out when I am working out, his enclosure was right next to the weights. He goes to the other side of the house when I am at this. He will still wonder off til he freezes and I have to move him to a warm place in the basking area.(house is in the 40s right now) I...

    Mentally Retarded or Insane?

    I think you might be onto something here. We are the two males in this building, and I work out with weights and stationary bike 2-4 hours a day in my spare time. Imagine the testosterone and stress hormones I emit from my constant anxiety, stress, and workouts have him getting so many mixed...

    Mentally Retarded or Insane?

    Well after 8 months with Ouros we are sure he is mentally retarded. Bit of a list of issues. As a baby he kept eating his tail and earned him his name, he literally ate as much as he could reach. Growing up in a large glass terrarium he would bang his head on the glass til he too injured to...

    Training and habit changing

    THE WINDOW, I have a 20" deep display window (building use to be a store front and is downtown). I could set up some wall panels tacked to it and give a 2' wall then put a hut/hide, Bed, and a heat lamp there. Be his little playground area....IT would also give him natural sunlight so no need...

    Training and habit changing

    OK Ouros has had this issue for months, he surfs....like crazy. He has always ran up the sides of his 40gal terrarium since I got him. I have tried adjusting temps and lights and this has no effects. I have installed a foam background he can climb on and he runs up it and claws at his light on...

    Ouros Update November

    Still about 16" and decent size, running into a few issues. I only feed 10 roaches twice a day now and try to keep some Freeze Dried Nutrigrubs available. I am resorted to making "Turkey Worms" (I make worms out of ground turkey mixed with his supplements and extruded through a icing bag into...

    Climbing

    My Girl was quite restless, running up around the enclosure...I put a foam type rock looking backdrop in it and she climbs it like crazy now, to stop her surfing the sides i used extra suction cups and lined the sides with those Repti hammocks all along the glass so she can climb the sides...

But doing so has made her no longer fear them as much it seems...but she wants nothing to do with them, just walks away from them. I did not feeder her anything but attempting with crickets, and...

    Scared of Crickets

We have since sometimes tweezer fed larger ones reluctantly. I ordered 500 crickets since they were cheap, they shipped us the wrong...

    Solution to Feeding Ouros

    Ouros, 4-5month old 13 inch Female Well as you might recall I could not get her live feeders for almost a week, and lived on meal worms, turkey, and greens. I then got the money and ordered her 500 dubia...and they all came in dead. I put the dead ones in her feeder dish anyway and tried...

    Having the same issue with my 5 month old, she is 10.5" long and just stopped eating dubias, but maybe 1-2 a day (3/8" ones). Bummed because we went a few days of meal worms and ground turkey before I get her some now she will hardly touch them. She will much on meal worms but I only give her...

    Feeding with no budget

    Well I got some card sales on a order and could get 500 roaches for her. She has been feasting on them well 2-3 times a day. To comment on the other poster....you can not buy those with food stamp money...I had no money that could be spent on online sales, food stamps is human food only...

    Well my family is paying bills, food stamps...I skimp on food already the stuff can not be used to buy anything but human food. I tried the ground turkey this morning, I cooked it in the microwave and minced up the little strings, unflavored plain. Let it cool and she cleared almost all of it...

I have looked over that nutrition page and found it lacking in other human proteins to feed her so I was checking. Amusingly due to my health issues, I live on a atkins/keto diet....I find it funny we eat the...
