Today after her bath yoshi snagged some stuck shed on the towel she was wrapped in and ripped some of the shed off with a scale so she has an open wound on her leg. I was wondering what I can use to protect the opening until her vet appointment saturday. thanks for any help.

hey all, so emmi has been shedding for the last week or so, and I've been bathing her extra because she's having issues getting the shed off her feet. well I was checking her feet today and she has a red sore on each front foot, and I guessing it's from ripping the the skin. is there something I...

for the last four weeks emmy has been lethargic and refusing to eat (except for crit care). so I took her to the vet and was told that her blood work was fine and that her problems were from her being overweight. now she is being pretty active, running around her cage and digging at the door to...

I'm most of the way finished with a crossfire enclosure but there are a ton of scuff marks and nicks that aren't coming off with cleaning so I was wondering if there is a safe spray paint I can use on the interior and exterior of the enclosure to make it look nice again. also what kind of...

hey everyone! It's been quite awhile since I've been on here but I've run into a problem. I remember that by 18 months you're supposed to not feed prey everyday, but I forget how much and how frequently they should eat insects. Emmy was to the vet today because she suddenly started acting very...

Hey all, So poor yoshi has been having issues with digestion since she came home with us back in july. she has been to the vet several times and she has been diagnosed with coccidia, cleared, then diagnosed with pinworms and cleared. she was still having trouble digesting so another stool sample...

so, as of the last week and a half yoshi has suddenly developed this habit of glass dancing for hours on end. She has salad and bugs, she has a repti-sun 10.0, shes got decent temps and plenty of basking spaces. At first I thought she was doing it when she wanted more bugs but we would feed her...

So, I've been working on my dubia colony since august, but none of my roaches have reached adult size :( I'm attributing the slow growth to a lack of a decent heat source. But while feeding and cleaning the 2 bins I have going I've noticed some seriously small dubia. Now i'm wondering if it is...

Hey all, I've always been fascinated by snakes and have always wanted one. I feel like im ready to start doing research on the type I choose to keep but I'd like a little guidance. I 'm looking for a type of snake that is more prone to tolerate handling and I'd like to focus on smaller snakes...

Hey guys, So I moved all of my roaches from the "colony" bin into my feeder bins so I could just feed off what I had since they're all still nymphs but when I was pulling some out I noticed white speckles on a few of the roaches. My first thought is mites so I'm wondering if anyone has heard of...

So I tried doing the roach hut set-up for my roach colony-to-be (still nymphs), and today when I checked on the food status (haven't looked in a week or so since it was still at a good level), it was moldy! I'm not quite sure on reasons for this since its dry kitten chow so I'm looking to others...

hey all, so we've had emmy (formally known as yoshi) for 2 months and she still puffs her beard at me, turning half of it black, and gapes her mouth at me when I try to hold her. I hate to be a whiner but I figured she would've gotten used to me by now. I worm=k second shift so I hate to take...

hey guys, my dad is going to help me build the crossfire viv but he asked which caulk is safe and when I did a search there were no threads containing the answer. He wants to know latex or silicone? thanks for any help!

So I finally got some decent pics of Emmy onto photobucket and wanted to share how much she has grown in the last 2 months. Will share more when I don't have a cat impeding my typing. *edit* finally renamed Yoshi emmy. We always knew she was a girl but my husband named her and it stuck but I...

Hey All! So far my roach colony is doing pretty well in terms of no die off and the nymphs are starting to get towards adult size (eww) :) I've been grinding up kitten chow to feed them but it already broke part of my coffee grinder and its kind of a pain grinding it up. Does everyone else...

Hey all, so now that fall is here and my house is freezing I realize that I need a better enclosure for yoshi, but I don't think building one is going to happen. I was looking at that other site with the classifieds and found critter condos which basically look like the crossfire enclosure but...

Hey all, I've been planning on making yoshi an enclosure before my cats bust the screen mesh on my exo terra making it pretty much worthless on craigslist. My only problem is, I'm not a handy person. I like the crossfire look, but installing the runners and doors and such looks kinda...

so I treated yoshi for coccidia starting two weeks ago. one week of treatment and then I took a fecal sample to the vet to be retested. well I took it in friday and then had to re-take another sample yesterday because they didn't run the first sample soon enough (which ticks me off that I've had...

so about an hour ago I saw a post mentioning turkistans and had to know more about what they are :) well now after placing an order for 2k dubia and going and getting two more bins so I can start a dubia colony I'm interested in the turkistans. so I was hoping those of you that currently have or...

even though I am deathly afraid of insects, after only having yoshi for 3 weeks, and thanks to midmichicer for posting the vid of his colony, I've decided I think I want to start a dubia colony, but I have a few questions. first of all, does anyone have a really good descriptive care guide with...
