So Rocko has been basking regularly. I was worried that he had a lump in his belly even though he's been pooping regularly, but after researching here apparently it was just his rib sticking out because of the angle he was at :oops: He has been shedding on his face and feet. I wasn't aware...

sorry for my excitement, but GUESS WHAT He sat on his basking rock for a while yesterday :) I guess he did want the sides of his tank covered.

That's wonderful that his poop looks ok, I was really worried about that :) I'll see if I can find him a log. Maybe then he'll bask? Is it ok that the area he prefers is around 90f? I actually tried moving the basking light to the other side earlier to see if he just likes that side better...

Here's a picture of his viv. I just put construction paper on the back/side walls in case that's why he's not basking. Here's today's poop (sorry for posting this but I need some feedback): Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

So I'm still feeding him twice a day, once in the morning (a salad) and once in the afternoon (5 superworm/dusted). I'm thinking a a big part of his problem might be he's not basking, and I don't know why. I put a few more rocks on the warm side of his tank today in case he just didn't like...

That's a really good point. My parents fed him crickets once a week. They would buy a bunch of them, maybe 25, and dump them in the tank with him for him to eat when he wanted to. The feeding I witness, he ate maybe half of them then the rest he ate throughout the week. Should I cut back on...

Hi Tracie, There are pictures of him and his tank earlier in the thread, I can post current ones this afternoon (I've added a stone to the left side). I'm using a zoo med digital thermometer. This one here...

Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it :)

He finally used the bathroom yesterday for the first time in over 3 days, and it was super runny. I'm not sure if he is digesting right. I stopped wetting his greens in case he is getting too much liquid. I have his basking spot between 93-5 because he doesn't seem to like hotter...

So I've been told by someone on another site that reptiles close their eyes when they dislike something and wish it would stop. Basically to pretend you're not there lol. So, I've stopped petting Rocko for the time being and handfed him some of his salad today. Then when superworm time came...

That's wonderful that you think she's in good health :). I have been wetting down her greens like you suggested. I gave her a bath a couple days ago and she had diarrhea the next day, I guess it was too hydrating lol. She hasn't used the bathroom today or yesterday. I'm wondering about her...

She's been eating great actually :) Yesterday I handfed her a bit of salad. She wouldn't take it at first, but after dusting a piece with calcium she ate it and realized she likes greens and squash. She also had 5 superworms (3 dusted with calicum), 4 earlier in the day and then one with her...

She is here! I put her in her new tank, which just has paper towels, lights and a thermometer. I need to find her a basking rock and once she gets tested for worms, I'll be replacing the paper towels with shelf liner. I bought 25 large super worms, I'm thinking that should last her about a...

It's a fedex ship center, hopefully that will be ok. According to the tracking she hasn't arrived in town yet, but I'm sure she will be here by later this morning. I'll stop by the reptile store and get her some superworms then, and save the big shipments for cooler weather. Thanks for your...

My dad shipped her today, so I'll be picking her up tomorrow at the fedex center! I went to the nearby reptile store and asked them if they carry different size superworms. He tried to tell that mealworms were the same thing, just different sizes. :roll: Would large superworms be too big...

Thanks for the responses :) Stacysbuddy: I don't have a picture of her from the top, but I don't remember the fat pads looking sunken in when I was petting her. Of course, I could be wrong since I have an untrained eye. I agree that her face looks pointy, not sure what that means. I didn't...

Ordered the things listed above, but I got the Zoo Med digital terrarium thermometer instead. I also got repcal with D3 and herptivite. Everything should be here later next week, at which point I can send the shipping kit from shipyourreptiles.com to my parents. I'm excited about this :) Any...

Thanks for the response :) I just got back from petsmart. I got the 36"x18"x18" Exo Terra Terrarium. I also bought a 24" fixture for the uvb from Walmart. She would be in there most of the time, but she will have out time too. I'll be ordering the following from amazon: -Zoo Med Deluxe...

So, do you guys think she looks ok/healthy? I can't tell because I'm new to this. I'm thinking about going with a Exo Terra terrarium for $160. It would be 36"x18"X18" which a 40gb but a bit taller. I'm thinking since she is so small, that would work ok. I'd take out the styrofoam wll, and...

I'm glad the T10 looks ok, I'll start the process rolling on that tomorrow. I'm wondering if I should use hood of some sort on the uvb, so it doesn't blind me when I look in the tank? How do you guys resolve that? I know the tank will not be tall enough to use a reflector, but maybe some type...
