Ok Puffnstuff went to the vet yesterday and everything was fine. I got a call tonight that his stool sample came back positive and the Dr left medicine for me to pick up tomorrow. I asked what meds he left but the receptionist did not know but told me the vet would be in tomorrow and I could...

Ok this may seem silly but I need to know if it is ok to do. I put a dish of green in the tank 2x a day for Puffnstuff sometimes he comes down off his basking spot to go to the bowl but usually doesn't eat any. If he is by his dish and I sprinkle the calcium on it he will chow down on his...

Ok I'm building a 3'X2'X2' viv for a friend's son. She wants to use a Repti-Sun tube light. The question I have is since I have to buy a light fixture I'm not sure what size I should get (I have a MVB in mine). Should I get a 24" fixture and run it most of the length of the viv with a...

Ok so today I went to give Puffnstuff some crix an after dusting them, some of the calcium powder fell on the tile next to his food bowl. Well after he ate the crix he went over to the calcium powder on the tile. I guess he didn't like the salad today! LOL Hope everyone enjoys it and got...

OK here he is! As some of you may know I had to put down Gizmo last week and my class took it hard as he was our pet. So as far as they know he went to stay with his mom because he was not feeling well. THANKS to Chris Allen who donated a partial translucent who was born in June to us. The...

As some of you may already know Friday night I had to put Gizmo to sleep. He developed a very aggressive cancer and the chances of him surviving were slim. Gizmo was also my class pet. For the past week I kept him home knowing that there was something wrong. Any way everyday my class would...

I just recieved a call from my vet. I took Gizmo to the vet on Wednesday and she did blood work on him. Well it turns out that he may be a girl afterall. The calcium level is at 41% and his white blood cells is at 18,000. (I'm trying to remember all the numbers that she gave me over the...

ok here is the problem. Gizmo is not doing well, he is losing weight and he won't eat, even if I hand feed him squash or his greens, he doesn't seem to be interested in any crickets, silkworms or hornworms. I can get him to eat 2 Tablespoons of baby food (chicken and squash) from a syringe 2-3...

I need some feedback here is the situation....I'm supose to take Gizmo to school with me Tuesday Morning, but I now need to go to my brother's the night before and go to work from there. Here is my question If I leave my house Monday night around 7 (Gizmo's lights go off at 8pm) with him in his...

I posted this in Dealing with Infectious Diseases, but I really need some input by morning; Gizmo's fecal result came back with a count of +3 for pinworm eggs which is down from the last time, but he now has Eimeria coccidia at a +4 count and his eating has slowed down he won't even eat a...

Gizmo's fecal result came back with a count of +3 for pinworm eggs which is down from the last time, but he now has Eimeria coccidia at a +4 count and his eating has slowed down he won't even eat a hornworm. :angry5: Do you think I should treat him I know the treatment could be rough on him...

Yesterday Gizmo was black bearding me and he usually does this when he has to go poop. I took him out of his tank and put him in a bath but he didn't go. I gave him some oil. Today he was black bearding again, so I put him in the bath with water that was a little warmer then usual. He...

Ok, i finished his new enclosure last weekend and he moved in Thursday. Here are some pictures: This one is of the whole enclosure. If you notice the light that is on top of the tank is a 100wt Mega ray and I can adjust if to different heights depending on the temp on his basking spot: These...

Wasn't sure that this is a good idea so I'm asking for suggestions before I cut the top of the enclosure I'm building. I was thinking of cutting a hole for the dome fixture and allowing the bulb of the megaray stick out into the enclosure a few inches. This would allow me to build a basking...

I'm buildin Gizmo a 4x2x2 enclosure and want to use a mega ray bulb, but I am a little confused and just wanted some input before I order the bulb. What are the correct basking temps for a 2 year old? I thought it was between 100-105 but I read this on the web site for the mega ray... is this...

I'm going to build my own enclosure that will be 4'x2'x2'. I went to my local Home Depot and bought the wood and they cut it to size for me. I'm going to use tile for the bottom and make fake rocks. I read here on one of the threads that someone painted the top of the inside white to relfect the...

ok this afternoon I noticed this bump on Gizmo's jaw. I'm not sure the cause. I'm going to call the vet and take him in, but I was wondering if anyone has any idea what it is, the cause, or if there is anything I can do until i get him to the vet? It dose not appear to be red or anything

Hi guys, first I would like to thank all of you for all the advice that you give. I have learned a lot from reading every post and believe me i check it every night for new ones. I seem to have a problem and I need to know if it will correct itself or will I be Gizmo's slave for the rest of...

The temps in Gizmo's enclosure are good but I would like to add some more light to the cool end. I think it is too dim. What can I use to add light but not heat and is not too expensive? Thanks
