I finally figured it out! I was getting ready to give her her bath tonight and noticed how she was holding her hands. Her nails had gotten too long making get walk more towards her wrist, causing sores from her weight. Hopefully the nail clipping and honey I applied tonight will get her healed up.

She's in a 40 gallon breeder. I have a t5 Arcadia uv bulb and a 75 watt basking bulb, both have been changed within the last month. Temps are 98 basking, 85 cool taken with a temp gun. She eats crickets dusted with calcium 3 days a week, dubia dusted with multivitamin two days a week and in...

Leo just finished shedding her hands and feet today. When I took her out for her bedtime snuggles, I noticed these. She has them on both hands, but not on her feet. They kind of look like scrapes and are softer than her other hand scales. They weren't there before her shed. She's eating...

Leo insists on 2 blankets at night, one under her and one covering her. I use a folded pillowcase for her bottom blanket and a large square of fabric for her top cover. I couldn't have done that when she was younger though. She was one of those with the weird sleeping spots and I never knew...

My girl Leo is growing like a weed, and except for last week when she was without her GOOD basking bulb, eats like a linebacker. She's always enjoyed when I put a little extra calcium powder in her tank along with her morning crickets, but lately she's licking it up like frosting. I usually put...

I had her in a large, short plastic tote, kind of like those most feed their beardies in. It's what I always took her out in because she was too small for a leash. She spent some time in the sun, but most of the outside time in the shade and I brought her in as soon as she showed signs of...

Leo says hello. She's 21 inches now and 10 months old. She is getting the to be a rotten lizard, insisting on being out as soon as breakfast is done and not wanting to go back till bed time. We love to take her to town and she loves the attention she gets when we do.

We lost rocket last night. I'm still not sure what happened exactly. I took her outside in the evening for her daily dose of uv and everything was fine. She ran around, then basked like normal. When I brought her back in, she was sluggish and didn't close her mouth for hours. The next thing I...

I've been hand feeding Rocket her crickets ever since we switched to that from syringe feeding after her injury. Her jaw has healed completely and she's very active. The issue is that she just isn't growing/shedding like she should be. I feed her 10-15 crickets a day. She refuses the second and...

I tried last night with some pinhead crickets by hand. She gobbled them so quickly I had to fish more out of the cricket tank. :blob8: since she was still hungry after 15 small crickets, I tried with some mango and mustard greens. They went away just as quickly as the crickets. This...

Most of you know that after Rocket's broken jaw, we were syringe feeding her until it healed. Now I have a whole different issue with her. Her jaw is completely healed, but she still isn't eating on her own. Now, I don't know if it's due to her having trouble seeing the crickets because of her...

20 is an estimate. Sometimes she eats as many as 50, sometimes as few as 15. She does always eat all of her salad and when we give worms, she eats 10 or 15.

Just wanted to send out an update on Rocket since the incident. The vet says her jaw is healing niceely. Her bad eye is a total loss, but it doesn't seem to bother her. Other than that, our big issue is getting her to eat again. Right now, I am syringe feeding critical care mixed with baby...

Lately, with rocket in the house I've been paying more attention to eating habits. Especially since Rocket's injuries. I've become a bit concerned that Leo might be a tad obese. She eats about 20 large crickets per day plus a bowl of salad. She also gets superworm twice a week as a treat. She...

We've went to the vet the day it happened and again yesterday to remove the dead portion of tail. The jaw is broken but not too badly and healing well. No wiring was needed and no teeth were lost. Unfortunately, her eye WAS lost. The socket was pretty much crushed and the eye is gone. She's on...
