    Bath Question...

    I have bathed Alex since we first got him. I always give him a bath in the evening. Since getting Fred, last weekend, his poo practice has been pretty nasty. Alex always either goes in the bath or lifts his tail after going and doesn't get it on himself. Fred on the other hand, manages to...

    Help with Fred!!!! Think he's coming around...

    So we got Fred yesterday and I knew he was gonna be stressed so I thought I would give him some time to chill before totally changing his world... I did however give him his first bath, which he hated! First off, he came with a 20long tank. I clearly know that is too small for him as he's 17...

    Freds first day here!!!!

    Today has been such an exciting day here!!! A few days ago there was a post for Fred finding a new home... I jumped on it. He was only about 1.5 hours away and the guy just didn't have the time for him and wanted to find a loving home that would give him what he deserved... Well that is here...

    Caught him Eye Bulging!!!!

    Okay, so I've read about it and thought I would be all set if Alex ever did it.... Well, that is not the case! I walked in to see if he was ready for his crickets and there he was, sitting on his basking rock with his eyes bulged out looking creepy and scary. I freaked out and screamed for my...

    Cactus Leaf...

    So I found some cactus leaf today at the local market while buying greens and vegees. Do I just cut it up or do I cut off the outer skin first? I don't mean to sound stupid, but it looks kinda tough and prickly....

    Poo Question...

    Okay so my little guy just had his morning poo and there is pieces of squash in it. I have never noticed whole pieces of his vegees before. Is this okay? I do cut them pretty small and mix them with his greens so I never thought it would be an issue. He's 4 months old and been eating it for...

    Eating hair???

    So as I'm typing, our baby is sitting on my shoulder. While browsing through new posts, I heard this noise, look down, and he's eating on my hair. Will it hurt him? I have since moved it so he can't get to it as easily, but will keep it back more if it's totally dangerous for him...

    Alex is sulking...

    So our baby has been going outside daily for some real sun. Well, I think our 80+ days are over, so he didn't get to go out today and he has been sulking like a baby. For the first time since we got him, I can see some faint stress lines. Makes me feel bad for him.

    New outside idea

    So while shopping at Walmart the other day I came across this laundry hamper and thought it would make a nifty outside enclosure for Alex. I've been trying to think of something I could take him out in that he couldn't escape from or get harmed. The netting still lets the natural sunlight get...

    Ate a hair???

    Today while feeding Alex, one of my hairs must have fallen in his eating container. Well, he managed to scoop it up with a cricket. I saw part of it hanging out of his mouth and pulled it out. He had about 8 inches of hair in there... Will he be okay, or could I have hurt him pulling it out...

    Crickets under substrate...

    I noticed today a cricket going under the paper towel I use for substrate... I figure that can't be good. Any ideas on how to keep them out of there, besides taping it down.
