I know people use to use paprika (sp?) to enhance colors. It was done by some vendors to dupe the buyers into spending more money on dragons with color. The color faded quick and it is liver toxic. I just saw this advertised as a "safe" color enhancer for reptiles. I have no intent on using it...

Has anyone tried this to enhance the color of thier dragons (or any reptile)? I guess it is what turns flamingos pink. And some companies are using in reptile products.

Jarrich....the ebola issue was a joke. You and I (and everyone else) already knows that. Give a guy an excuse....good grief.... Now, I submit. Forget this thread, let it die a horrible asthmatic hypoxic death already Look maybe I worded my original post in a way that you all find...

I agree there are many, many, many things anyone can be allergic to. But when the reports are 30%-60% of the population is allergic to roaches (mites, body parts, feces) it seems higher than anything else than I can recall. Most people that have roaches in their homes don't invite them in...

Sorry to hear about that. It is so odd to have it in three legs. But if she feels it will get better that is good news. Its nice you can do the shots at home that will save some money. Did she say what might have caused it?

I just wanted to wish you luck at the vets today.

Just saw this exact same topic came up on this list on Sat September 24th 2011.

Text book of what? You confused me on that. I always discuss worse case senarios. I dont suger coat anything. I never said people were bad parents for having roaches. You are twisting my words into something I didnt say. The reason children were mentioned was because the risk is highest for...

I bet thursday cant get here soon enough for you. The waiting is probably very stressful. Hope your vet has good news for you both.

Jarich The studies I looked at I dont think differentiated between socioeconomics in allergy conections. I dont think roaches care if you are rich or poor. The very first web page I looked at after your post did say leprosy can be spread by roaches. There were many, many more of them. I can't...

Yeah, parrot food is fine. It doesnt carry leprosy. I think we both are making valid points. But when you publically accuse someone of using "scare tactics" it is very rude. Also stating "the rest of us should be just fine" is horribly dismissive. It also sounds as if you speak for EVERYONE on...

As much water as you can get your critter to take might help clear some of the uric acid (if it is gout) If your vet feels its wise he/she can use a needle to inject NS to increase hydration.

I feel this is way too important to be dismissed as "scare tactics" The information is valuable and should not be dismissed so easily. Here are a couple web sites that are easy to read. The first one says children are 40% likely to have roach allergies. The second one says 45%...

I cant paste the web page address for some reason. Nor can I see the entire web page address. I dont know how to use my phone very well. Ill keep at it. Hopefully I can provide the information for you. Its on medical web site. Its called researchgate.net. It has a lot of information for you to...

Give me awhile to locate the information. Got lizard stuff to do right now.

Im sorry you feel that way. I can provide statistics if you would like. Just have to do a google search. Look at stats for homes that are infested. The children from those areas have higher rates of asthma problems. The asthma is secondary to the primary cause (roaches) It is fact that children...

Okay, so she will lay infertile eggs. I have heard dystocia is more common with infertile eggs. Im not sure I believe that though. The process of laying is exacty the same anyway. If you think you see lumps, but are not sure time will tell. Just put a laying box in with her anyway. It doesnt...

Yes, please do keep us posted. I want you to know I am worried about your lizard buddy. I did a lot of thinking about the possible cause last night. Your first vet sounds "off base" on this one. If your dragon had osteomyelitis it wouldnt be so wide spread. It is usually confined in one area. If...

A little late, but better than never:) I just wish there was a way to get everyone to read this post.

Sorry to hear about that.
