Does anyone know if it can be ordered off the internet or do I need to get it from a vet?

Just found Putzy in his cave with a mouthful of sand. He's unresponsive, eyes closed and mouth partially open. I cleaned out as much of his mouth as possible, dribbled water in to it to clear it and he did vomit up a bunch of sand and some of his babyfood from his lunch. He has been very slow to...

Just a short update on my boys, as I can't sit with my leg down for very long. Putzy seems to be spending most of his day, dozing. Except for when we go out for some sun, which is when he perks up and tries to escape. I need to order him a new light as his present one is about 6 months old now...

As some of you know, last Saturday, I lost one of my rabbits. While painful, it was kind of expected, as she was getting on in years. Sooo... The husband decided to cheer me up with a shopping trip. Of course, his real reason was he wanted to check out how much starting up a saltwater fish tank...

Yesterday was quite the rollercoaster. :( First I found my rabbit, Cocoa, passed away in her house. Then we went for a drive and checked out a couple of petshops. He's thinking about starting up a saltwater tank, and was pricing the various components. At the last shop, he made 3 critical...

Putzy's tank has an open grill top, and I can't seem to get his temperature up high enough. When we had Izzie, his tank had a modified fish tank canopy that held the heat in. We have a Zoomed fluorescent tube and a zoomed basking bulb at the moment. We also have a light fixture with a black...

Last night, after his lights out, Putz suddenly started to violently flip over onto his back. He did this 6-7 times, then seemed to be alright. Thought it was just a bad dream or something. About 5 minutes later, he started again. When I picked him up, he was rigid and audibly panting, his heart...

Yes, hello, I am Huffmeister Grumpalot von Putz. Just call me 8) Huffy. I am currently reconnoitering my new territory, causing terror and mayhem as I go. I have so far conquered the living room, dining room and part of the kitchen. I have taken an oath of allegiance from the cat *GT* and have...

As many of you are aware, my Izzie Izard passed away last Monday. We almost got a new one from a local woman, but she found a foster family to temporarily house him, til she found a new apartment. My husband worked Midnight-8am all week, came home Friday morning, loaded me into the car and drove...

I noticed 2 days ago that he was not feeling well, thought at first it was just him starting to shed. Then he started to "stargaze" all the time and I'd hear a clicking sound when he breathed. Posted a question about how to find a good herp vet on the health forum (thanks for the quick reply...

Izzie has been "stargazing" and clicking when breathing for the last day. Two days ago, he took off outside and ended up in a large puddle. I wasn't too worried at first, he's done this before. He'll sit and have a soak (and a poopy) before continuing his jaunt. This time however, the water was...

ANTS!! :shock: I was finally released from house arrest ( :oops: got caught with contraband electronics) and given a 2-day pass, to enjoy the beautiful weather here. Yesterday, I just chilled and worked on my tan. Sat on my fav rock and basked while getting my next report to our fearless...

Hi, I have a friend who just got a 4yr old redfoot tortoise off of LesPAC(Quebec's version of Craig's list). He needs to know how much and how often he should be giving calcium to Frankie, and what kind it should be. Any and all help appreciated as I have no clue to tortoises except that they're...

We have had a sudden surge of warm weather here. Temps went from -20c (-5f) to 9c (40+f) literally overnight! This caused a sudden surge in hormones in what had been a brumating dragon. Glass dancing, black bearding and puffy beard gaping, followed by foot stomping and ... Ooooo, poor Puppy! Of...

After almost 2 months of simply being a sleepy-head with a burst of energy in the late afternoon, Izzy had a bath 4 days ago, pooped and collapsed. He crawled into his cave, dragging his blankie into a ball under his chin, and hasn't really moved since. Yep, other than moving his head away from...

Also known as the Great Election Escapade! As the rest of you Canadians know, Tuesday was election day for us. It was a beautiful, warm but windy day here in the Eastern Townships and since Izzie was awake for once, I thought it would be nice to take him for the ride to the polls. Off we go in...

Hi, just became a slave to a large beardie.He/she is about 4 yrs, about 20'' long, and living in a 36 x 18 tank. We got Izzie from a friend, who's in the midst of a divorce and can no longer keep him. When he arrived, he was pale, lethargic, and had patches of skin that hadn't shed properly. He...
