This is a bullfrog tadpole someone gave my son... no idea age or whatever. He has tiny buds of hind legs. He's moving a lot less now, not eating and his tail has parts on it that look like they're covered in slime or maybe peeling off sort of? Is this guy sick with something?

Anyone have a pic of a lizard with sunken eyes? Papi really looks like he's depressed... I think his temps are fine but I've been using a cheap probe and I just ordered a real Temp Gun to see if that's the problem. I thnk he's trying ot brumate, he likes to stay under his bridge. Up until...

So I assume this is an upper respiratory infection... Today out of nowhere Papi had a little water near his nostrils. When I picked him up, a huge amount of fluid dripped from his nose holes! I haven't seen any major changes in his behavior except he was really slowing down. We've had bad...

How would I tell if Papi has mites? And could those mites be biting my son?? He's got bites just like chiggers, which are mites...

So I turned off Papi's bad UVB a month or so ago, haven't had the financial opportunity to buy the new lightbulb and fixture yet. I heard it's okay he goes a while with no UVB and he has both perked up and grown amazingly fast since going off the light. He does spend 30 -60 mins outside every...

Okay this is driving me crazy. I need to get the bulb and fixture for the home of Papi... he's been without UVB for a few weeks now, and boy is he perking up! That compact bulb made him verrry mellow. Anyway. I'm looking for a fixture I can put a ReptiSun 10.0 tube into... I don't have the...

Okay so Papi famously ate 12 or so bees yesterday in the span of about 1 minute. He was standing outside on the Iceplant and there are bees everywhere there. Anyway, because of this, I was a bit worried. So today he pooped on the jade plant and I went to wash it away with water and I saw in...

I asked this in health and no one seems to respond... So this will be x-posted, hope that's okay. I have the ReptiGlo 10.0 compacts in the enc. right now... I have read I need to turn them off. I cannot afford another light right now, so I'm thinking what if I put my 8 month old outside for a...

I am going to turn off the ReptiGlo 10 we have. I don't have enough money now to buy another light for at least a month or so. So... We live in Southern Cal. How much time does he need outside to make up for not having a UVB source in his encolsure? I have a basking bulb there of course. Is...

Okay, so the herp vet said to give Papi some wax worms to fatten him up for a couple weeks in addition to his normal diet of salad, supers and crix. Thing is, I bought the first box I bought I didn't know they had to be refrigerated... So this bunch I bought I put in the fridge right away. But...

Okay so usually Papi's poos just look like logs and white stuff and liquid. Today he got a little freaked in the bath because my kids were too much in his face and he pooped. THis poop dissolved quickly into salad, veggies and parts of superworms. Is this normal???

Hibiscus, really? I have a TON Hibiscus in my yard. Looks like this, right? http://goree.rice.edu/files/images/hibiscus_Goree.preview.JPG I just want to be sure.

Okay so with crix I let him eat a lot for 10 minutes. But now that he's getting some worms (supers and wax), how do I know he's getting enough? Or not too many. He gets 4 worms in the morning then crix in the after noon, he's about 8 mos old.

Okay so papi was cleared to try some superworms by the vet. he's six months old and his body is quite long, but he has a very short stub tail so it's hard to say if he'd be 16 inches. Anyway he had one worm Saturday, two Sunday and on Monday he had three. Tuesday he had four or five. You get...

Okay so poor little Papi went to the vet today! He's had this nip out of his tail since we got him, I thought it was just going to be a little malformity but the tissue was getting blacker and receding, which was exposing his little vertebrae! Poor guy. So the doctor cut of what was totally...

Papi's only six months old so he's eating like thirty to fifty medium sized crix each day. I have a small keeper, am constantly refilling and they still die and stink up the room. I have grown to hate the little suckers and can't wait until he's older and I can feed him worms and veg. That's...

Okay so Papi is about 6 months, we've had him about 2 weeks. I"ve learned that if he's walking around the floor and can see the window, he'll poop. He's done this about eight times! He also poops in his enclosure. Today he didn't do his morning poo, and I gave him superworms for the first...

Okay so Papi pretty much just sits on his bridge under his light all day. His temps on the basking site are between 95 and 105... He sits there and gapes at least a few times a day so I think he's warm enough... But he doesn't ever walk around unless he's eating. He doesn't climb his wood...

Do BDs smell extra stinky during a shed? Ugh, Papi is so stinky and shedding like crazy. I put him in the bath and used a baby nail brush to gently scrub him... but didn't want to like rip his skin off! Anyway he reeks like lizard poo but appears clean. What's up with this? WIll it get...

Okay. So it turns out our BD, Papi, really is somewhere between 6-12 months old. I thought he was more like 8 wks based on measurements, but he has a stub tail and I didn't realize exactly how MUCH tail was missing. Then I saw an 8 wk old baby. That is NOT my dragon! He's huge...
