    UVB light fell and clipped/partially severed toe

    Her toe is doing well!! Nothing was broken (somehow lol) it was just the nail that was partially torn. The nail is still attached just enough that the vet is hedging on whether on not to clip it- wants to wait and see as there is a chance the nail bed can heal + continue to grow. No sign of...

    UVB light fell and clipped/partially severed toe

    Thank you!! Yes, we were super lucky that's the only injury that occurred - my partner managed to grab one side as it came down, stopping it from falling bang across her middle/back/head. Would have been horrific otherwise. Will be getting her to our herp specialist vet first thing tomorrow...

    UVB light fell and clipped/partially severed toe

    Hi!!! Just had emergency here where we just replaced UVB light (finally got an Arcadia light!), and the new hold/brace failed. It fell, narrowly missing most of our girl- just the edge of the hood/reflector landed on one of her toes. However, the way it landed on her toe pretty much twisted the...

    Odd swaying/head bobbing behaviour

    UVB light is good, I believe. This is the current basking light we have in their tanks: Exo Terra Basking Bulb Calcium blood levels are actually high (potentially excessive calcium in diet or vet suggested she may not have been born with the best kidneys??? Other girl who was from a breeder-...

    Odd swaying/head bobbing behaviour

    Just quickly checked Amazon, and with fastest delivery it'll be a month before soonest arrival time (+ $30 shipping, and it's already $162 before shipping 😭). Hopefully will be able to find local brand equivalent when we've got to replace the UVA this month or cheaper way to order that specific...

    Odd swaying/head bobbing behaviour

    Not sure if that's the brand the hood is in or the actual bulb (don't have it in front of me to check rn, but I believe that's the UVA light), but the brand specialises in both aquatics and reptiles. Their reptile stuff is usually boxes/branded as 'Reptile One', but the items still have the Aqua...

    Odd swaying/head bobbing behaviour

    Believe I've got it all in my profile, but it's been double checked by reptile vet and breeder. Basking light has recently been replaced, but the other one is due to be replaced sometime this month. X-rays thankfully showed no signs of MBD, but calcium and D3 were sky high on last bloods so...

    Odd swaying/head bobbing behaviour

    Ooh, that might be the case (or at least contributing to the issue??). Partner says she still does it a little off meds, but when off meds it's only when she's actually doing the proper headbobs that she does the swaying (not randomly whilst walking around like you can see in a couple of the...

    Odd swaying/head bobbing behaviour

    Hi everyone, this is the same Helio I previously posted about with the pseudogout issues. Haven't had any further news or updates on the pseudogout front or visits to the vet just yet as treatment for my brain tumour hasn't been going the best and I've only just gotten home from hospital this...

    Kidney failure, pseudogout, help needed. Bloods & X-rays included

    Photo from when she visited me last night in hospital + some photos when we first got her as a baby BC ohmylord I adore her ❤️💗 (She still likes to sleep hanging like that as an adult, I kid you not. You can also see her love for just sitting in her water bowel and giving my husband a panic...

    Kidney failure, pseudogout, help needed. Bloods & X-rays included

    Yes, I'm doing a lot better today with it all- think it hit me very hard yesterday due to everything else that's going on for me with regards to what I'm in hospital for currently and recent similar not-good news about a family member. Sleep and some time to process has helped me be slightly...

    Kidney failure, pseudogout, help needed. Bloods & X-rays included

    My partner brought in Helio today for his antibiotic shot, and I don't know why- maybe someone else's photo during all my mad research today triggered something- but I decided I should double-check his sex. ... Helio is a girl, isn't he?? 😳 If he's a year and five months old, could he be...

    Kidney failure, pseudogout, help needed. Bloods & X-rays included

    Hi all, my partner and I are very stressed + worried about our boy Helio and would really appreciate any extra help or advice at this time. He is a 1 year and 5 months old, husbandry info in profile. Early morning August the 21st I happened to notice out of the corner of my eye Helio dragging...
