Also, if he really did have Adeno Virus, what is the best way to disinfect the tank if I chose to bring home a new little guy/gal? Just hit it with some F10SC? Is there a way to ensure it is completely sanitized of that virus? I would hate to be the one that infects a brand new one because...

Yeah, I think he had it too. He did to the stargazing pose a lot when he was basking, I didn't think anything of it, I actually thought he was just putting his head closer to the bulbs. My vet classified it as MBD and nothing more, but I had my suspicions. Looking at the symptoms, the light...

First, I want to say that it has been an uphill battle since I got him back in 2016. When I got him, he was undernourished and had an improper habitat. No UVB lights. Lack of heat. And the humidity was registering over 60% in the habitat. The habitat was small, even for a three month old...

Hello, So he really wasn't responding to the Tylan via fogging. So yesterday, I switched the solution to Baytril and started fogging him last night and tonight. So far, he is tolerating it well. I was nervous about doing a round of antibiotics back to back like that, but he did respond best...

Okay so, its been two weeks on the F10SC fogging treatment 30-40 minutes a day, usually at night before bed. I see MINOR improvement, but still sense some breathing issues. When I hold his chest I can definitely still feel some mucus in his lungs when he breathes. And he does go through...

Not full on blackbeard. But he is a little darker than usual. I didn't realize this could go on for weeks. He hates it so much. He doesn't fight me on it, but he definitely doesn't like it. But if its what I gotta do, then thats what I gotta do.

Day 3 of the F10SC fog treatment. Not much to report. Still very little appetite. Still doing a shot of probiotic non-dairy yogurt a day which he takes without any issues. Pooping is normal. Sleeping okay I think. Can't see or tell if things are improving for him. I guess we will...

Hey Tracie, He seemed to tolerate the treatment okay. I went closer to 40 minutes in the fogger. I watched him all day and he seemed okay. Still a little trouble with the breathing heavy, but I am sure it will clear up eventually. Is once a day the minimum and the maximum for the F10SC, or...

Okay so I manage to convince him to go in the little tub. He was surprisingly okay with it. Maybe somehow he knew that whatever I was doing was eventually going to make him feel better? So I took one of my old cricket keepers from my noob days, and covered the top holes with...

My dragon has a thing about enclosed spaces. He is very claustrophobic with a touch of PTSD from improper care and being stored in a tiny tubblewear packed like sardines with his brothers and sisters. One time I tried to put him in a smaller tank to explore the "feeding tank" possibility, he...

Well, I gave him his first treatment for 30 mins. Not sure if I did it right. I just held the nozzle thing up to his face. Every couple of minutes, he would open his eyes wide and try and scurry away and I had to bring him back to the position to continue the treatment. Not sure if I did it...

Hey Tracie, Yeah, I am hoping this knocks it out of him or at least provides him with some immediate relief. I was kind of hesitant on fogging him out with F10SC, but it has reached a new point where I feel like its necessary. I am hoping it helps. Can't wait until it gets here. My poor...

Hey, I bought the following nebulizer that should be arriving today. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071KTG4WR/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And this is the dehumidifier I bought. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GL78U8O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 He is...

Okay so I ordered a big dehumidifier on Amazon just now. My thought is maybe if I dry the air to completion, it will help dry out the mucus in his lungs. And I ordered a nebulizer. Both will be here tomorrow. Thank you Amazon for your FREE one day delivery. I am going to try nebulizing...

Hey Tracie, The second round of Baytril failed. I waited a week and tried a round of Tylan after reading that Tylan usually gets the job done when Baytril doesn't. We are on the last day of the dose, but he is not improving. I tried to lean him over to help drain the mucus and he ended up...

Hey Tracie, Yeah they are mounted INSIDE the tank on the back wall. When he chills on his hammock, which is a majority of the day, he is approximately 6-8 inches away from the UVB light source. I say 6-8 inches because he is on an incline, so his head is 6 inches from the light while his tail...

Hey Tracie, He usually chills on his hammock and never goes on his basking rock, so I moved the basking bulb to the hammock area on one side of the hammock, so he can basically pick and choose if he wants heat or not. As for the UVB lights, I have one single strip light going across the...

Hello all, My little Aerogore had an upper respiratory infection the end of last month (April) and I started treating him with Baytril 2.5%, 0.20mL every night before bed (at least 2 hours after food/supplements) for 10 days. After 1 week, he started to show improvement in his breathing and...

Hey Tracie, thanks for your response. He only goes black when he is throwing a temper tantrum. But the few coughs I heard/saw weren't during a temper tantrum. He is shedding parts of his face, its possible it could be plugging up his nose somehow for the time being? I know the skin sheds...

Okay so, first, I know everyone is going to ask about husbandry so lets get this all out of the way now. I am using the Reptisun 10.0 tube, and they are only two months old. I have it on my calendar to switch out in Feb. I am using just a standard basking bulb with no extra bells or whistles...
