He is a such a good boy. I'll do anything to keep him as healthy as he can be. I suspect he's trying to brumate. He seems to be avoiding the really warm basking areas. He has a huge enclosure with 160 watt Mega Rays on the right and left with two 22" bulbs with good refection fixtures inside...

No apology necessary, AHBD. I appreciate the input and concern. Kermit is a bit more active in the last few days. I did a little construction on his enclosure this weekend. I lowered the two T5HO fixtures about 4 inches and it boosted the UVB readings quite a bit. It may help and certainly...

Really?? So, he's probably ok--just a tubby, huh? I'm quite relieved. Most people understand devotion to a furry pet but don't seem to get lizard love. He is such a little dear. I work insane hours in a stressful and intense job; so, getting home at night and cuddling my little guy is very...

Have an update. Last weekend he had an enormous poo. We had blood work done and nothing looked out of the ordinary--electrolytes a little high but I'd been giving him some Pedialyte--that could explain that reading. Doc also withdrew some fluid from his abdomen and sent it for cytology--got...

Hi There Thanks for your responses. When I got home last night I looked in his mouth and didn't see anything that concerned me. I decided not to give him the antibiotics....for the very reasons you mention. He's had blood work twice in the past 18 months or so and everything was within...

Here's Kermit this summer.

Here are Kermit's x rays. Anybody seen this before? Thanks!

Kermit is 5 1/2 years old...got him from PetsSmart. He's not a special breed at all. He weighs about 800 grams and is 20.5 inches nose to tail. He's been on repti-carpet and tiles most of his life. He's got a huge nice cage; two 160 Watt Mega Ray mercury vapor bulbs and two 10 T5 Zoo Med 24...

My 5 year old has never really taken to veggies. If it doesn't wiggle he's not interested; so, I have to hand feed him his veg. If he won't open his mouth I drip water on his snout until he does and then sneak the greens in. I sometimes put a worm on top of salad and he gets some greens when...

I am so sorry you lost your baby! I have a 5 year old guy named Kermit. He's been a sick boy from time to time. A year ago my vet thought he might have cancer and awaiting testing was just awful. If I lost him (and I will someday) I would be absolutely heartbroken. Just know that you've...
