I went to the vet yesterday cause Zeus hasn't been himself, like, he hasn't been eating much, shedding, or pooping (AGAIN!!) The doctor said it was probably coccidia, so he gave me medicing that is given through a syringe (needleless). I gave him his second dose today (vet gave him his first)...

i've had a very hard time getting Zeus to eat anything but crickets lately. a couple months ago, he would eat them the second i put them out...and not he won't TOUCH them, i haven't changed them or anything, i always feed mustard greens, dandelion greens, and arugula. how can i get him to like...

repcal has 4x the d3 of flukers. i was at petsmart recently and compared the two.

That is SO cool! Is there a dominant head? Which head eats? (or do both of them eat?)

I saw those at Petsmart the other day! I almost bought one to try it out on Zeus (he will eat anything, freeze dried or not). The price was really stupid though, it was like $2.50 for one serving! The ingredients are pretty good though, lots of healthy veggies, I'm not quite sure about mealworms...

should be fine. silkworms have soft bodies so you shouldn't have to worry about impaction with them.

I've seen that exact bulb at my local pet store (I'm going tonight to buy a few things) I'll be sure to pick it up!

ZEUS IS TOTALLY FINE. For three weeks he has me worried that there's something wrong, then when I finally get him to the vet he decides to be all better. He pooped this morning before the vet, a non stinky, normal poo. At the vet's he was running all over the place. Now he's sitting near his...

I guess I have no choice right? Supers look like a great staple. I guess I'll man up...or err "woman up" RAWR GIRL POWER FIGHTING THE EVIL SUPERWORMS.

Hornworms and silkworms are really beautiful! I like them cause they're caterpillars. I might order some hornworms soon :D . Anyways, I have another brilliant idea from my brilliant mind! My boyfriend offered me a can of dead supers. Might just start with getting uesd to the texture and sight...

Haha Zeus does that all the time. It's quite cute. He sometimes does it even when he's not basking, like, he was on my shoulder once and he randomly had his mouth wide open.

I occasionally feed Zeus pellets for the same reasons as you. He gradually stopped though when I switched brands. The brand he really likes is Rep-Cal pellets. I switched to Zoo Med natural pellets, and he is kinda meh about them.

Guys...I have NIGHTMARES about superworms. I don't think I could just pick up a bunch in my hand. I'd probably scream, throw them everywhere, then I'd realize that I just threw superworms everywhere and that they're all over the place, and finally I'd run away screaming. :oops: I dunno, I...

I called the vet today and they were all booked :cry: but I have an official appointment tomorrow at 11am.

Woah, I have a 40 gallon and I use a 150 watt. I tried a 75 first, but it would only get up to 85 degrees with it. Maybe it's the brand or something.

Haha even the sight of one creeps me out. I'm thinking of maybe getting one and keeping it in a little container in my room, that would get me used to the sight of them.

He IS eleven months! Also yes, that is the bulb I use, I'll replace it ASAP. Thanks :) Edit: forgot to add, yes, his poo smelled horrible.

I have a MASSIVE phobia of them. I've always fed crickets, but they are SO annoying. It would be really convenient for me to just feed a dish of superworms and greens, but superworms and the creepiest thing ever. I would totally feed silkworms (not afriad of them cause they're like...

I can't remember what brand of uvb I got (7% I believe). He can get about 4 inches from it.

I replaced the uvb 2 months ago. I do have a probe thermometer. I make sure he gets his calcuim and d3. It definitely sounds like parasites, I didn't even think about that! :| The only problem is that he hasn't pooped in a while, so I couldn't get it checked. I will take him to the vet on...
