Thankfully, her blood work came back completely normal. The vet was surprised that her levels were so good because he was sure she was anemic. He told me that sometimes a white tongue doesn't mean anything. I wonder if she's sleepy/lazy because her cage is a bit small for her and she's just...

The whole tongue. I ended up taking her to the vet last night. He drew some blood and said she is most likely anemic. Hopefully its a dietary issue and not a blood parasite (which were the two options he gave me). Sadly, she has been struggling with this for awhile, so I hope whatever problem...

Although I have not experienced it with my beardie, I have experienced my female day gecko grieve for her mate when he passed on. I truely believe that animals do get depressed. I think its possible he misses his friend. Maybe watch him for a couple days and see if it passes. If not, take him...

Hi, My girl is about a year old. I noticed the other day that her tongue is white and it never used to be like that. I am a bit worried, but before I call the vet, I thought I would ask here. I read one article that said it was ok, just up her calcium, and then saw another that said go to...

Sounds like your boy is alot like my girl! She is finally eating some salad, but not alot. I've been putting repti worms on top of her salad and that seems to work for her. Funny that she is picking at the salad and come cricket day, she puts awat 30 adult crickets! How old is your boy...

Thank you both for your responses. I will keep on it and cut out the protein for a bit and see if she backs down. She's just so darn cute, so its tough! I chopped up a strawberry today for a treat on top with some worms, so maybe that will coax her to try it. She was pretty particular with...

How do I get my 10-11 month old girl to eat veggies? All she wants is crickets or worms. I've given her beautiful salads consisting of escarole, squash, dandelion greens, endive, prickly pear (all from the website recommended) and she refuses to eat it. Some one who works for a breeder told me...

how do you administer the liquid probiotic?

Uploaded with ImageShack.us Here's a recent pic of my girl :D

My vet gave me a probiotic for her when she started taking the antibiotic a couple weeks ago. Its one for cats and dogs but he said it would be ok for her. I am not at home right now, so I will reply later with the brand. When I finish the one she's taking, I will get her the one you mentioned...

She's about 225 grams as of a few weeks ago for her weight. I haven't measured her for awhile. Last I measured her at 14 inches total length, that was about a month ago. I'm sure she's grown a couple more inches since. I'll try to put up a recent picture of her. She's grown about 20x bigger...

Hi, A couple weeks ago I posted about my girl Althea. My vet medicated her for a bacterial infection resulting from a gut load of hexamita. She finished her 10 days of antibiotic on 12/19 and then 2 days ago, I noticed she wasn't herself again. The texture of her poop changed again from...

Her poop is solid. The only problem we had with that was bits of crickets/reptiworms in it not fully digested. She isn't really into greens yet either. She prefers the bugs for now. I've been trying, but she really doesn't eat much of it. When do they usually start eating those? I thought...

Thank you for your help. I got her basking spot over 100 now.

I should also mention that her poop texture changed a couple weeks ago (when I say changed it went from smooth to not one piece and having bits of undigested crickets and reptiworms in it). It happened right around the time I started giving her the adult crickets so I didn't really think...

Hi, I just got back from the vet with my girl, Althea, and she has a flagellated protozoan. He thinks she has hexamita. He wasn't 100% sure because they were swimming around pretty fast under the microscope (he showed me a video of them). I noticed on Wed that she seemed sluggish and she...

That's good to know about the nail clippers. I'll give it a try. Right now I'm using the reptile carpet as "substrate." She's in a 40 gallon cage and it was easier to use that. When she is full size, she will have a bigger cage and I plan on using ceramic tile for her substrate. That seems...

My little Althea is growing like a weed since I got her in August (from 5 1/8 inches STV to just shy of a foot!). I've noticed just recently that her nails are incredibly sharp. I've also noticed that she has gotten alot stronger lately as well. I'm not sure if the nails have always been sharp...

i have been buying from herpsupplies.com for years and have never had a problem

Thanks, I ended up going with the 40 gallon. Hopefully she'll be nice and comfy in that for awhile. She looks so little right now with it! So much space to move.
