Finding an enclosure isn't the real problem, having the room for one is. Right now I also have 4 leo geckos housed each in a 20L so I'm running low on space. Hopefully soon I'll be moving and will have more room. Thanks for the heads up on the bulb I'll order a new one tonite!

Hey Tracie! good to hear from you! I'm located in missouri, and the weather has been above 70 for several weeks now. Zeus is currently about 13 inches long, in a 30 gallon tank (i know its a bit small but i try to get him out as often as I can). The UV bulb is about 8 months old, and is the...

Is it possible? I know its been a while since I last posted, so for an update, Zeus has been much better. Eating regular, pooping regular and finally behaving himself. However the last week and a half he's been very lethargic, always sleeping at the bottom of his tank where its cool, not...

So of course, since things are never easy or work out the way you want them to, Zeus is now not pooping at all. I've been giving him greens and a warm bath every day to help with this, and I've also stopped his medicine at the vet's reccomendation. The vet said he may need an enima if he...

Well after a few days of the medication he had a large solid poop. he seems to be feeling better, altho his attitude has been pretty poor lately. tonite he bit me hard enough to draw blood. if only they made a medication to make him not be an ass.... oh well. guess i cant have it all lol.

Ok, This fecal also showed no parasites, ameobas or flagelletes, altho the sample i took was a day old (the day of the vet trip zeus didnt poop, of course). The vet also said that with some parasites you could prepare a whole slide and still not see traces of the parasites. I did get some...

Well this afternoon we're taking a trip to the vet to have another fecal done and have the vet take a look at him as well. I'll let ya know what i find out :D

ok, thanks for the info. as runny as its been lately tho, its going to be tricky to get a sample i can collect. any chance it would be ok if it were on a paper towel? i've been putting down fresh paper towels to collect the poop on so i can get rid of it asap, due to the smell. also, would...

I started a topic about a month ago concerning my bearded dragons ongoing diarrhea and had been recieving help (thanks tracie :D), and he had been getting better. However the last few days his poop has been much worse and is starting to stink to high heaven. I've been keeping him on the soy...

thanks for the response! he has been eating well. the yogurt is soy. his stools have been about the same, kind of muddy. 2 days ago he did have a solid stool so he seems to be on the right track

Sorry i was so long on getting back to you, its been a bit busy around here. I went ahead and got a 6 pack of small yogurts for him so i should have enough to see him through this. However today as i was giving him his yogurt, he bit the tip off the plastic dropper i was feeding him with. It...

well his poop hasnt been any more stinky than normal. today was another good day. it was hard to tell but i think his poop was normal today (of course when i need to be able to see it he pooped right on top of another older one so it was hard to be sure if it was back to normal or not. i put...

he has been eating well, and he's been eating adult crickets. I'll give it a few more days and see if they go away, and if not i'll get another fecal done. Thanks!

zeus had a good weekend, his poop is still on the muddy side and i've been noticing small whitish stuff in his poop. it looks almost like grains of rice only about a quarter the size. once i get home i can post a pict if you think it might be problematic. however he still acts like he is...

today was even better. his poop is almost back to normal. he ate quite a bit of yogurt today, all of his salad (mustard greens and cilantro) and about 15 good sized crickets. he seems to be feeling better as well. his attitude is back as well (hissy at times when i try to pick him up without...

Today Zeus is doing better. He had a 70% solid poop, took a decent amount of yogurt (according to the syringe, it was about .3ml) and is currently eating his crickets for dinner. He didnt eat too much cilantro this morning, but he's always had days when he doesnt always feel like greens...

he seemed to really enjoy the yogurt, altho the first bite must have still been cool, he started dragging the tip of his mouth across his hammock lol. after i warmed it up some more he did seem to enjoy it. and as far as drinking goes, i've only seen him try to drink from standing water once...

tracie, thanks a ton for all your help so far. tonite i was finally able to find some soy yogurt (vanilla flavor) that is organic. i gave him as much as he would eat, after he ate about 7 to 10 crickets. he also took 2 full droppers of water (it seems he doesnt know how to drink from a bowl)...

*update* today he had a more solid poop but still not what he normally has. i went to both the local grocery store and pharmacy looking for soy yogurt and probiotics and was unable to find either. also picked up some mustard greens since he wwouldnt eat his kale this morning, he just...

ok, i have tried collard greens in the past but he just pushes them to the side and picks the cilantro out. and i might be mixed up on my greens. the time before last when i bought him greens they were labeled collard greens. they were hand sized leaves that had a sweet smell and ruffled...
