    Red Patches after Shed

    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...

    Licking the Calcium Powder

    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...

    RIP Rocket

    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...

    Not Growing

    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...

    From Syringe Feeding to Live Prey after Injury

    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...

    Update on Rocket

    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...

    Overweight?

    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...

    The Hooman Does Good

    I spent today making a reward for Leo. She's been pooing on the paper towel in the poo corner, so I decided she needed a treat.... a new hammock/swing! Her response : it will do slave. I shall poo on it tomorrow to break it in.

    The Poo Corner

    I can't help but laugh at my little stinker as I notice her newest pattern. Since our agreement for her not to poo on me, she has begun climbing up on her dino skeleton, hanging her bum off the edge and using it as a toilet. I'm considering puppy pads for that corner because other than that...

    Frienemies

    Leo: Quickly hooman, the barky thing has invaded my space! Me: She was there first Leo: How dare she be in my spot! She did not ask permission! Me: she likes to sit with me when you're in your home Leo: She won't like it so much after I poo on you Me: You wouldn't. We had an agreement about the...

    Sleep is like a box of chocolates...

    You never know where you're going to find her. One morning, I pulled off the coverings and found her asleep in the food/water dishes. Head in the Brussel sprouts, tail in the water, belly somewhere in between. It's now our guessing game. Where will Leo (short for Leona rather than Leonardo now)...

    OOPS!

    I was giving my baby a bath yesterday because he pooed in his hammock as punishment for late morning snuggles when I noticed something off. I have been spending time on the various forums getting familiar with everything I need to know to be a good slave, so that's why I even noticed. As I was...

    Christmas for Leo

    I decided to give my boy an early Christmas present today and return his favorite basking spot, his bonsai tree. I had taken it away in October because he was trying to brumate after a couple of chilly nights and he's just way too young for that ( 4 months now, 2 then). It sure fits a lot better...

    Leo's New Home!

    It's been a busy month for Leo and his mom. We ended up waiting to move him to his larger enclosure because we were moving as well. Once we moved him last week, there were some adjustment issues to say the least. He pouted in the hammock, refused his crickets, and there was a ton of beard...

    Growing up!

    I'm so excited! Going today to pick up Leo's grown up vuv and move him out of the smaller baby one he's been in since we got him. The poor baby has already outgrown the 10 gallon we started with, so we're not even messing around. It's straight to the 40 for us. He loves to chase his food too...

    Help with the battle of the veggies!!

    My bearde Leo is almost 3 months old, and I am still struggling with getting him to eat his veggies. I have tried all of the suggestions out there like putting them on a paper towel, putting worms (which he doesn't much carr for either) in them, but he barely touches them. He eats about 30-50...
