    Couple issues...

    Hey guys, been gone a while, deployments and whatnot. I came back to a bit of a mess that I'm working to clean up. I left my babies under care of my roommate and she did great for the experience level, but six animals is a bit much. First is Jupiter. His rear left foot has uneven wear on two...

    ???

    I recently took in two of my past babies (absconded?) from their neglectful mother. They were living together for about four months after they moved out. Now the fun part... First few days after I got them back and separated them, they were fine. Since then, almost two weeks now, neither of...

    Liquid calcium

    I took on a rescue this morning with moderate MBD and severe dehydration. I gave a few cc's of fluids subcu and am out of liquid calcium. I've been driving around town all morning, hit just about every pharmacy and nobody caries liquid cal glubionate. I need an out of the norm suggestion on...

    Hatchling issue...

    I had a clutch hatch out almost two weeks ago. I kinda feel like an ***** right now. I took a look at the setup because they really haven't really been eating much. I never switched out the factory bulbs with the ReptiSun bulbs. It's been a day and their activity has increased, I loaded...

    Why go small...

    When you can jump headfirst without thinking about it and end up back here with loads of questions and pics... I got bored yesterday, decided to DIY a platform, it got out of hand and before I knew it I was fake-rocking the whole tank. Here's some pics, questions to follow First attempt at...

    Another roach question...

    I've noticed a serious decrease in molt the past few days. Diet hasn't changed, heating hasn't really changed (VERY hot a Friday, 105ish for a couple hours). One dead (usually 10+) and only three molts. I would think the heat would supercharge them. Just curious.

    Beardie Submarine

    I'll get pics when he next takes a bath, but I've noticed Jupiter likes to completely submerge himself in the tub. If the water is running, he'll hold his breath, eyes open, under the waterfall. When I shut it off he swims around. I haven't timed him, or let him stay under longer than about...

    Flat out...

    I've been seeing a lot of this today... That's from her at lunch. I checked temps, 84/110. Her diet today has been two hornworms, 50 or so reptiworms and her lunch salad of "salted" mustard greens. Humidity is around 20%, she's not wheezing or anything, just kinda laying there. She had...

    Roach food

    I've been feeding oranges and am curious how it's supposed to be done. Do you cut them or peel? I peeled and they ate like 2 slices out of three whole oranges.

    Not really sure where to put this...

    I have an Avanti 16 bottle wine cooler for housing my reptiworms. Earlier today it stopped cooling them, temp jumped up to five degrees over ambient room temp and I hadn't touched the thing. I called for a service appointment, but I don't know what to do in the meantime. I have about 2200...

    eeew, that smell...

    Ichibod was a rescue, he was housed in walnut and bark at the "Serpent Safari" in Gurnee, IL. He was mistreated. His daily diet consisted of iceberg lettuce and LARGE quantities of spinach. He got a frozen fuzzie tossed in with him "every once in a while" for protein or "when a customer...

    Am I crazy?

    Mouth rot? I don't have much experience with this, just noticed it a few minutes ago as she was basking. I really hope these pics help because she was... Irate about how I took them. Before you ask, it's a scalpel handle, fresh out of autoclave. She's only had worms today, I'm making...

    UVB through windows

    This post is a continuation from the ER thread. Modern windows (produced in the past 30-40 years) filter ~99% of UVB. After 15 years of use the filtered UVB is decreased 40%. Sitting your beardie in the window will NOT result in any significant amount of UVB absorption. Your beardie requires...

    Regarding dishwashers...

    Are there any dishwasher detergents which are harmful to beardies but not humans? I've been running all stone dishes and hides through the wash every couple weeks, just thought I'd ask.

    Jigsaw...

    I'm trying to find a non-blinding/binding heat source (other than UTH) that's low profile. I have about 3" of clearance above my tanks and would rather not have a heat bulb inside with my babies. Thoughts?
