I've seen Simon have a few scales that do this thing where it looks like they're falling off but there is a scale underneath. When the top falls off the scale under it is just smaller? It doesn't seem to cause pain when touched in just curious. It's the light colored scale on the side of his...

Great day today. Simon ate 9 supers. Started with one then refused the rest then I put them in a baggy for calcium and as soon as he heard that bag shake he just couldn't eat them up fast enough! So I will have to try that. As far as veggies go, he thinks of them as a litter box and doesn't...

Still made me feel bad. He's never been handled like that before. He didn't take blood because 1. My vet usually gives me deals because I bring in so many critters, 2. After seeing him with him already I didn't really want him doing it, 3. I couldn't afford it. It's $92 for the blood draw and...

So I took Simon to the vet. They scheduled me with the other doctor instead of my usual. I've never seen a doctor push their eyes in so they'll stop squirming so they could look inside their mouth. I felt so bad for him. My normal doctor tries a couple times and takes a peek and is like "ok yeah...

Is there anyone that can help me?

He is on Entofloxacin 20mg/ml. He gets .15cc every 24 hours. He is on his last day of taking it. I use a syringe to drop food onto his nose and he licks it off. His favorite is green beans. He did 1 syringe of 3ml and for two days he did 2 of them. Yesterday he refused any of it so I let him...

My guy has been sick off and on for this whole year I've had him. I don't know what to do anymore. All he does now is sleep and will only eat when I feed him baby food. He is on meds for RI. The second day of meds he was full of energy. He was running all over his tank, he was out of hiding and...

I will do that. Thank you!

I love the video and the gif just made it better!

I left my shirt in there for a good month or two. It really helped when I wanted to hold him

Simon has been sleeping on and off for the whole month of October and has barely eaten anything. I weighed him yesterday and he was 20g lighter than when he went into a semi-brumation. He is parasite free, gets baths once or twice a week but I always try to syringe feed him water, which he...

Simon did that but it was because I fed him baby prune food since he hadn't pooped for 3-4 days. He hasn't done it since. I'd say if it's a recurring thing then seek a vet, but if it's just once, I probably wouldn't worry too much about it. Maybe wait to see what others say on here?

When I first got Simon he was really scared of me so I wore a shirt for a few days and I folded it up and put it in his tank. He ignored it for a day or so, then eventually it became his favorite laying spot. I would give it time, but don't quit trying. Give him attention everyday even if its...

My vet said it was possible. If their internal age is older than their real age. My Simon who will be a year old in february went into brumation mid september. It may not be a full brumation because he'll sleep for 2-3 days and then be awake for a couple days but he refuses to eat, and if he...

My Simon will be a year old in January and sliwly went into brumation starting mid to end of Septemver and stopped eating completely 2-3 weeks ago. I miss holding him, but it's been super cheap on food! I do make it a habit to tough him a couple times a day while he is awake and he seems to...

Simon I believe has been in semi-brumation for about a month now. He hasn't eaten anything for 2-3 weeks and has only slept a maximum of 3-4 days straight so he lays in the same spot for days at a time before he moves. I'm not too concerned for his eating habits. Today when I went to check on...

My phone wont focus too close to his arm. His hand has already shed not too long ago. Its like a clear shade of scales on his arm. They are soft and feel like scales, but they are discolored. I found the same thing on his other hand just a smaller amount. Half of the time he is sitting...

I peak in on Simon every once in a while because one I miss holding him and two just to see if he is awake or not. I noticed on his right arm he has discolored scales. I know he always sleeps with his arms behind him. I'm not too worried and I don't really want to take him to the vet, I'd like...

Just a question I don't remember being in the article. Is there a certain tempt I need to stay above while Simon is brumating? I took his heat lamp off his hide and i switched to his CHE bulb 24/7 to have a little warmth on the other side and I just use his Reptisun 10 light during the day...
