So Smid jumped off the couch and landed on his head, flipped upside down and couldn't move - puffed up and it looked like his front legs wouldn't work. I just missed him when he jumped so I quickly picked him up. His right front arm and pectoral area were twitching (pretty sure it was a result...

Hornworms and dandelion flowers - what a lucky guy!! I was too slow to catch him eating the first dandelion - he ran across his home to get it.

Hi everyone, not sure if I'm being over paranoid or not. Smid! completed his first brumation (didn't really sleep or eat but didn't lose any weight) this winter and he is much more active, constantly running from one end of the cage to the other. But, he still isn't eating (I can trick him...

I noticed this under Smid's chin this morning, what could it be?? Is it a fungus? Should I be worried?

I find him here all the time - yesterday he was here from 5pm til 10am this morning. :roll: :shock: It looked so uncomfortable I had to move him.

Smid hasn't pooped since Christmas. He has been eating less (maybe 1 worm every 3 days, lots of veg some days - collard greens, squash, endive - and some days no veg at all), sleeping more - but that seems like a really long time to not go. this happened right before Christmas too - resulting...

So last week I had to take Smid! into the vet to help him poop (he hadn't gone in over 2 weeks - and although he is eating less due to winter I thought this was too long). She had to use a probe to make it happen - a large pile I'm told... But now when I put him in for his bath he immediately...

So I had Smid in to the vet today, as he hasn't pooped in over two weeks, I tried bathing, olive oil, applesauce.... Nothing. So the vet was successful and I guess there was quite the pile. Pre-poo he weighed in at 645kg (we didn't re-weigh him). She suggested to switch him to silk worms or...

Should I be concerned with these? :shock: Or.... Liz

So Smid!'s tail tip (2-3") just shed, before the shed I thought it had turned darker - but thought that it was just due to the shed and it would return to it's colour. It hasn't really done that. There is a slight bump (on the sides of the tail not top or bottom) if you run your fingers down...

Was getting ready for our end of project dinner and I went to check on Smid! to see how he was doing, and this is how I found him... I laughed out loud, called him silly, and then reattached the hammock and all he did was look at me like "it's about time woman!"

was doing some school work last night and had Smid! out, felt a bit bad for him cause of the light so I covered his head with my toque. He did the rest all on his own - I think I'm going to have to get him an alpaca one for himself - this is the only thing that he has ever snuggled inside of.

Hello all, Well Smid! has stopped eating unless I flash the food in front of him - make the supers wiggle a lot, or move the collard greens in front of his face - a lot of the time he ignores them, but he does sometimes eat them. I've tried other feeders, silkies, butters, pw's but all the...

So I bought Smid and was told it was a male, a few months later took Smid to the vet and she said - nope it's a girl, but now I see this What do you guys think? I think Smid could care less what I call her, but I'd like to know I've got it right Liz

Well today I figured I'd get a Smid a leash so I'd feel a little safer when I took her outside. I brought her to the store where I bought her (wanted to make sure it fit). First we tried on a kitten one - it didn't seem to adjust small enough... then he mentioned that there were reptile ones...

Is it just the UVA/UVB coils we should be avoiding?? I bought this light http://www.reptileuv.com/26-watt-full-spectrum-5000-kelvin-compact-fluorescent.php when I got my mega ray. Could this cause eye problems? The reason I ask is because Smid has an awful time of snagging her worms - a...

Smid has a red squiggle (best way to describe it) that goes around each iris. It doesn't go all the way around the iris. I was just wondering if anyone knew what that was and if it is common. One of my friends thought that i had her out drinking :roll: . I've tried taking photos of it but...

My order of silk worms arrived and, well Smid didn't really know what to make of them... here she is giving me the "get it off, get it off, GET IT OFF" look She eventually ate it and a few others, but I'm not sure they are a hit.

My mother came out to visit me and met Smid for the first time last night. After she held her we looked through some of my old photos and I found the ones I had of her when she first came home - how skinny and sad she looked for a 10 month old!! She was around 11" then... and this is her now...

Hello, Just a quick question, Smid (1.5yrs) has been acting a bit strange lately - she hasn't been eating as much as normal - maybe one worm a day instead of 5 and of course she eats the butterworm, not the supers... and she isn't touching her greens. Well that is unless when I get home and...
